[edit] Police models

The PSX version lacks the ability of playable police cars;however, the police cars can be played via hacking with the use of a Gameshark. The GameShark code will use a player car depending on which is chosen or available in Hot Pursuit mode all except for the CLK-GTR and El Niño, then the chosen player car will instead be replaced with one of the hidden police cars. The player can even use the horn to have sirens and bring up the loud speaker speech too. Even when playing as the police cars the player can still get arrested by the cops and two of the police cars that replace the Ferraris aren't available in Hot Pursuit mode however there is also a Gameshark code that allows one of the Ferraris to be played in Hot Pursuit mode and if the police car code is also entered the police car that replaces that Ferrari can be driven in Hot Pursuit mode.
