The cop car, that can make any speeder sweat, has been given the apt nickname 'Copzilla', though officially it is called Police Pursuit 23.

Interestingly, the Japanese pronunciation of numbers two and three is 'ni' and 'san' respectively.

Perhaps, the designers at Nissan got bored of too much Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit videogame and decided to move it from virtual to reality.

Maybe, just maybe.

The sportscar is added with various modifications like the ginormous over-the-top spoiler, a Skyline Metro sign on the sides, bulging 20-inch aluminium wheels and a distinctive front push bar - because, of course, it's a cop car.

Beneath the badge, the company has kept the specs same as the original GT-R with a 3.8-liter V6 24-valve twin- turbocharged engine powered with 562 bhp.

Unfortunately though, no cop is going to get behind these as Nissan says this is just for show. But what a show indeed.

NYC

The New York Auto Show begins from April 14 (2017) and promises to showcase some of the world's best cars. Read on to find out some of the highlights expected.

Dodge Demon has been massively promoted by the company ahead of New York International Auto Show. The Demon is a production car set up for drag racing. It is expected to allow customisable kits which include a proision to replace the conventional tyres with skinny ones for drag-racing purposes. It is expected that the Demon will be powered by a supercharged and intercooled Hemi V-8 and is expected to have more than 707 hp of power - some say upwards of 900 hp. Base price is expected to hover around $80,000-mark.

Nissan 2017 GT-R Track Edition will be showcased and it is easy to see why this car is most likely to win any racing contest. Featuring a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 engine, the car has a max power of 565 hp and 633 Nm of torque.

On the inside, the special edition GT-R is a looker and these would be made to order. Prices are expected to start from $127,990.

The Honda Civic Type R will make its North America debut in New York. Showcased previously at the Geneva Motor Show, the car features a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine, massive changes in body and chasis and special tuning for track performance.

The new Civic Type R also looks more aggressive - and yet planted - than the outgoing version. The LED headlamps, gloss black grille, swept-up bonnet with the hood scoop together stand on 20-inch alloys which adds to the overall appearance.

The European verison has 315 bhp of power and 400 Nm of torque. It comes with short-rev 5-speed manual gearbox. The black and red interior tones further add to the sporty feel.

If you attach a powerful statement more importance than power drive, the Range Rover Velar would surely grab your eyeballs. The beast of an SUV, the Velar gets striking proportions, flush door handles and an integrated rear spoiler help it also be quite aerodynamic. The foil stamped grille further enhances the appeal. The company says it will bridge the gap between Evoque and the Range Rover Sport.

The car features light-weight aluminium 4-cylinder V6 engine and the 178bhp of power will propel the car from naught to 60mph (96kmph) in 8.4 seconds.

The Touch Pro Duo infotainment system brings together two touchscreens. The optional full-colour Head-up Display and optional Interactive Driver Display further highlight a rather extensive feature list.
