This week, the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) gave the public a peek at a sleek sports car that troopers will use for patrol and educational purposes.

On April 15, FHP announced the addition of a 2023 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray to the agency’s fleet of patrol vehicles.

FHP says that the Corvette will be making appearances at educational outreach events in addition to its use as a patrol vehicle.

Troopers say that the Corvette was not purchased with state funds. Instead, it was seized by FHP in collaboration with the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) Task Force.
