In late 2023, Turkish police seized 23 luxury and supercars belonging to drug lord Hakan Ayik, with an estimated total value of $3.5 million.
All of these cars have now been fitted with special equipment and repurposed as police vehicles.
Recently, a 2020 Bentley Continental GT V8 from this collection was spotted on duty at the Hagia Sophia Square in Istanbul.
The car has been repainted in white and adorned with reflective green stripes and the “Trafik Polisi” logo. It sports a set of 20-inch, two-tone, five-spoke wheels for a sporty look.
The front of the Bentley Continental GT V8 captivates with its expansive grille and cross-hatch dragon-scale mesh pattern.
One of the most artistically valuable details on the third-generation Bentley Continental GT is its LED Matrix headlights, inspired by crystal glass and featuring translucent inner surfaces for a sparkling effect.
From the side, the Continental GT of the third generation features prominent character lines that run from front to back, giving it a sportier and more dynamic appearance.
The rear of the car features signature elliptical taillights and a quad exhaust system split evenly on both sides, differing from the large oval dual exhaust on the W12 variant.
The Continental GT V8 is powered by a twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 542 horsepower and 770 Nm of torque. Coupled with an 8-speed automatic transmission, this luxury car can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 318 km/h.
In addition to the Continental GT V8, other seized vehicles such as the Ferrari 488, Porsche Taycan Turbo S, Audi RS 6 Avant, and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class have also been repurposed by the Turkish police.
