Well, it’s happening, man. It’s finally happening.
Sighted yesterday in Randy Shaw’s corrupt Twitterloin / corrupt Microsoft Yammerloin, here’s my white whale, a Dodge Charger in SFPD livery

Is this a one-off, merely a test? Or is it the start of a flood of SFPD radio cars what aren’t Ford Crown Victorias?
I know not.
Anyway, this is a shock after seeing decades of Crown Vics prowling the 415.
Does anybody know?

I wonder if this thing even shows up on the police radar…

That’s what you might conclude after seeing a tableau such as this on Market Street:
Seen being driven by a uniformed member of the San Francisco Police Department:

(Couldn’t tell if there are still holes in the roof from the television antenna installation.)
Or maybe Gavin’s former limo is down in the batcave, fueled up and waiting for the Next Great San Francisco Disaster?
Don’t know…

Oh no! Look out BMW Gran Turismo, the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG, Aston Martin Rapide, Lamborghini Estoque, Maserati Quattroporte, Bentley Continental GT, and Ferrari 612 Scaglietti. ‘Cause here comes der neu 4-door Porsche Panamera!
You see, they need to find out if such a fine vehicle can handle the steep streets of San Francisco. Fair enough, but doesn’t the body look all stretched out, like a 1978 “pregnant cow” Nissan / Datsun 280Z / Fairlady 2+2?

Both photos via the photostream of Hysterical Bertha:

No front license plate, which is required in California. Minus 5 points, Gryffindor House.
It sure looks fast though.
Can it outrun a recession? We’ll find out soon enough.
