Model Details

The Herpa Audi A6 Avant “Polizei Graubünden” (item 099370) is a highly detailed HO scale 1:87 collector model representing a Swiss cantonal police patrol estate car used in the mountainous region of Graubünden. Finished in white with daylight red and blue police markings, this model accurately depicts a real operational highway and regional patrol vehicle used by the Swiss police.

Produced by Herpa, this release reflects the use of high-performance estate cars in Swiss law enforcement, particularly for motorway patrol duties and rapid response across alpine road networks.

Historical Background

The Swiss cantonal police forces operate independently across regions, with each canton responsible for its own fleet and operational requirements. In Graubünden, one of Switzerland’s largest and most mountainous cantons, patrol vehicles must be capable of handling long-distance motorway travel as well as challenging alpine road conditions.

The Audi A6 Avant has become a key platform for Swiss police due to its combination of stability, all-weather capability, and spacious interior for equipment storage. It is commonly used for Autobahn patrol duties, traffic enforcement, and rapid incident response across both motorway and regional routes.

Historically, Swiss police fleets relied on smaller sedans and station wagons, but increasing traffic volumes and the need for improved performance in demanding terrain led to the adoption of larger, more capable estate vehicles such as the Audi A6 Avant.
