Following up on that police chase in a Pontiac Aztec that happened today, what would you say is the perfect getaway car? The car must be a road legal production car and completely stock. An ideal car would be something tough, fast, and agile.

GT-R, because it does everything at least decently well, and most things superbly well.

G 65 AMG.

Follow me, I dare you.

Toyota Camry in Southern California... because camouflage.

( Think Zebras..)

I would say an S65 AMG. It somewhat blends in with other cars, is fast and powerful, and tough because it's a Mercedes. Just make sure you get away quickly; don't want to have to stop for gas halfway through.

Lotus Carlton.

I'd say that car is perfect for a chase however it has a 155MPH speed limiter so you won't get very far ahead to lose them.

Agree with AbarthGuy. What better a car to fade into the crowd. Does not need to be fast.

RS6 wagon. Very fast and, when gray or black, completely anonymous. It's practical too, it can comfortably seat you and 3-4 of other criminals and their loot.

Lancia 037 because it's fast, agile, and can handle itself off-road if need be. Oh, and it's sexy as hell. Just make sure you're not stealing something that can't fit in the passenger seat.

Is there a good getaway car? I mean if you are being closely follow either by cruisers or by helicopters in traffic your not going to be enough faster to elude prying eyes and speedy radio. your best bet is to go stealth. I.e. pick a really common car in a really common color, then wrap or plastidip it in a very showy color, and with very distinct wheel covers. Then you just remove the covers and wrap after whatever nefarious thing you did, light up up the evidence and drive calmly away.

It really depends on where you are and what you are running from. A good escape vehicle in a city is completely different than a get away vehicle on the highway or in the country.

In town I would go for something really hard to identify: generic color and looks like everything else, probably a sedan.

On the highway you will need speed. Most police cars will out pace you well into the triple digits, and in order to out run the helicopter and radio calls you need something a lot faster than most cars... probably GTR or greater.

In the country you will probably need something with suspension travel. You wouldn't want to go off road and risk breaking something/a flat, but roads out there aren't perfect. You might look for something like a Raptor or Jeep SRT8 (as much as I hate them).

What kind of criminal keeps their getaway car in factory stock condition? Tuning is to be expected.

Something like this is what you want, IE a sleeper. Audi's don't look as obnoxious as BMW's or Merc's now either so I'd say this is a good choice.

I also think we have to tweak the rules a bit, because even the fastest fast getaway by car isn't going to be fast enough to outrun a search chopper.

Here's my scenario; the economic downturn has slashed police budgets nationwide, and the district where you committed the bank robbery/mass murder/whatever recently had to auction off their choppers to keep the lights on (as well as cut the force by half and get rid of some of their fancier patrol cars)

The cops get one Charger SRT 8. What did you get? Along with the Carlton, I nominate This:

You get the AWD and nimbleness of the Impretzel + more than enough trunk space for all the cash in the bank plus a few hundred kilos of china white.

I would think perhaps something unremarkable... The temptation is to pick something like a supercar, but really you just need to go faster than a crown vic most likely... I think I'd go for an M5. Hardly distinguishable from the ubiquitous 5-series by most lay-people, but more than enough grunt to outrun a charger should your local pd have one on hand, and will go around corners...

Oh, just thought of another one. Maybe not road-legal, but still a good getaway car, as evidenced by NFS MW.

Crown Victoria P71 is limited to 135.

I am unsure about the Ford Police Interceptor or the Charger but top speed isn't the point, superior 0-60 and off road capability should make for a fantastic getaway vehicle.

twinturbobmw > McLarry 08/22/2013 at 18:28

I was going to say an M5 instead of the S65. That would be perfect without the quad exhaust and a 528i badge.

I know it is not realistic but without that rule it would be way too easy.

For the benefit of the situation let's say that a Soccer mom in the greater Los Angeles area is slanging some crack on the side and needs to make a quick run from the 5-O, I think this would be the best option.

Rally Fighter. Nothing like taking a chase off road.

If you could modify the car I would say this:

It passes the fast and nimble test, but its a rare car with a loud-as-hell paint scheme. The cops will have no trouble at all finding you in that, and eyewitnesses will be lined up around the courthouse block to convict you.

Worse still, a rare #037 Martini will end up in the hands of some local yokel who'll run it into the ground with no respect for it's extensive rally heritage, after they get it for pennies on the dollar during a police auction.

Sparf > twinturbobmw 08/22/2013 at 18:36

Yeah but in that case "tuning" meant just removing the speed limiter, which shouldn't be that difficult or costly.

Isn't the first thing that happens in that game you getting caught while driving that car?

Dodge Charger SRT. Good speed. Tough. And if I could modify it, Make it like the Charger in Defiance! A little reinforcement!

Oh shit, that's the perfect get away car! Rob the bank, then hideout somewhen else in time. The Rozzers certainly can't have access to time tra-

...awwwww shit. Nevermind.

A TRD Tacoma. Take them coppers off road.

A Porsche Cayenne Turbo S. Plenty of room for the crew, handles off road and on road well, in crowded cities they're everywhere, 550 HP, and has a top speed of 175 MPH!

Well, yes, but at the end of the game you use the car to escape the entirety of the Rockport Police Department and their Corvettes to beat the game.

Preferrably with either 535d or 3.0 BiTDI engines. Not only do you have loading capacity, you have the fuel range too!

Including motorcycles, KTM 690 SuperMoto:

Total hooligan bike. No idea how a cop is going to follow you through a city park, University campus, up/down some stairs, etc.

Not including motorcycles, BMW E60 M5:

500 horsepower, tons of driver aids, but not so radical that it couldn't blend in once I lost the cops.

This is my idea of the ideal getaway vehicle

It has all the charm of the 60's MKII's that the greats of the period used
also, jaguar boss himself said that a car needs three things to be good
"Grace, Pace and Space"
It's a Galant, Graceful creature
it's surely got the pace from the fire breathing Supercharged 510 horsepower plant under the hood
and space? well the L in the name does mean Long wheel base!
