Powerful noisemakers are also invited to join the “PopCorn” competition!

Rev it up! Show off your thunder! Get the “shooters” warmed up before the contest — make some noise!

Police Car Battle – Who’s the Real Deal?

Details

Last Updated: Monday, 14 July 2025 17:13

Have you ever seen a real American police car up close?
In Lithuania, a few such cars already exist – and the same hobby is rapidly growing in Poland!

So we asked ourselves – are these police cars really up to the task?

On Thursday, July 24 at 20:00, we invite all owners of police-themed vehicles to go head-to-head in the ultimate showdown for the title of “The Real Police Crew of American Spirit”!

Our jury will assess:

• Authenticity of police equipment
• Exterior appearance
• Functionality of sirens and lights
• Whether the crew looks like real officers
• And if the crew can properly “arrest a suspect” under pressure!

Based on all these elements – and with help from the crowd – we’ll crown one crew as the realest police team at American Spirit!

Do you have what it takes to protect and serve… in style? 💥👮‍♂️🇺🇸
