Wow. I wish I understood dutch better. But it looks like the guy ditched the 911 for a Golf in the end. I find it amusing that he lost it on the on ramp. He obviously doesn't know how to handle a rear engine.
Wow, what an idiot! Must have been a drug runner (what is illegal in Holland though?), had some outstanding warrants or been a car thief. Not like they wouldn't have just read his license plates and gone to his house.
But from what I have heard, police cars do not have to really be fast, since they have so many other advantages.
I confess this is due to musing on situations where I blasted past a Yugo at 120 and then found it had caught up to me after I ended up behind a truck in the fast lane.
Cops have so many advantages
A) The ability to radio ahead I've heard is nearly impossible to beat.
B) The ability to follow you and basically make less mistakes then you do.
c) Cop cars while slower are not slow. I know the US police cars are about 0-60 in 6 seconds.
d) Cop cars usually are very good at handling potholes, offroad travel and so forth much better than a racecars like ours. For example, I cracked a rim on a pothold my infiniti would have just bouced over, due to the low profile tires. So in a chase, they are much more likely to survive the chase.
e) And when dealing with traffic, well, having great accel when a police car has the ability to make people get out of the way, just an unbeatable advantage. (flashing high beams on a porsche do not beat a siren in terms of getting slow pokes to the right lanes)
I have to laugh at these people who think they can escape.
But how did the criminal end up in the golf?
P.S. I think if it was speed yellow however it would have gotten away

In Europe cop cars are not necessarily slower. They often use some pretty high-end cars. The first time I was in Holland I saw two patrolmen in a 911 Targa.
I used to go to Holland with my father on business trips. They got some fast cars for Police service. I am not joking, I did see an orange Lamborghini with mars lights blasting after a motorcyclist right outside of Amsterdam.
I think they just put confiscated cars into service, that is how they have the uber expensive police cars.

My dutch is a bit rusty, but you can hear the police officer saying, "Thank Heineken he isn't driving a crocodile." I have no idea what that means. Crocodile? Is that Nederlander slang for "motorcycle"?

Gee, when they arrest you in a Lamborghini, where exactly do they put you? Do they strap you to the roof?
