ghost car
Unmarked police cruiser
A ghost car is an unmarked police vehicle used for traffic enforcement or surveillance, designed to blend in with civilian traffic.
The term suggests something that appears ordinary until it reveals its true nature.
In video games, a ghost car is a translucent replay of a previous run, letting players race against their own best time or another player's recorded performance.
