Countries with the world’s worst police cars: Cars are purchased for a number of different reasons. They can show off our personality, or just instil practicality into our everyday life.

However, in some other instances there are models that can pale in comparison to other law enforcement vehicles.
There are some police cars that have been offered for one sole purpose alone, whereas others just don’t have the aesthetics or power to demand the respect deserved by police forces around the globe.
In all fairness, it could be argued that citing certain police cars as the worst is a little unfair, as police forces and manufacturers are always looking for pro-active ways to cover various landscapes without damaging the environment.
However, although the environment has been saved, the reputations of some of the police forces in question remain in tatters thanks to its choice of law enforcement vehicle. From high-speed pursuits for high-value heists to petty number plate crime.
Evidently, there has been much improvement since the 1800s, whose cars would run at 16 mph, and would need to be charged every 30 miles. That said, there weren’t many vehicles that could outrun such a car back in the day.
Nowadays, police require a car that not only offers practicality, but also aesthetics that demand respect. We take a look at some of the more unusual vehicles that fall a little below the mark when it comes to dishing out justice.
10. Cuba: Lada Riva 1982
So, what happens when you require a fleet of police cars, but your country has a trade embargo with the US? Well, if Cuba is anything to go by, you simply ask Russia for a suggestion.
The four-door Lada Riva offers a tepid 80 bhp, and is very unlikely to be taken serious by any category of criminal, especially given its almost comical siren, which is more likely to cause problems on the road than resolve them.
