Chevrolet has unveiled the new rear-wheel-drive police car. It’s a left-hand-drive version of the long-wheelbase, Zeta-platform Holden Caprice/Statesman. Two engines are available, V6 and V8 engines. The 6.0L V8 engine, which offers fuel-saving technology like Active Fuel Management and E85 capability, produces 355-hp with a maximum torque of 384 lb-ft. Six seconds to range from 0 to 100 km/h are too much thanks to a 6-speed automatic transmission and of course also thanks to the engine.
“The new Chevrolet Caprice police car is the right tool at the right time for law enforcement,” said Jim Campbell, general manager for GM Fleet and Commercial Operations. “We asked for a lot of feedback from our police customers, which helped us develop a vehicle that is superior to the Crown Victoria in key areas.”
Chevrolet Caprice will be able to join police departments from 2011. The PPV is obviously equipped with the last generation technology including seats designed to accommodate officers’ gun/equipment belts, a front-seat computer, and all the other stuff you’d expect to find in a police car.
