![Ford Interceptor Sedan]()
With 75% of the police car market, Ford is hoping to replace itself as the supplier of choice with the Taurus-based Interceptor Sedan. Available with a 365 horsepower twin-turbo V6 and all-wheel-drive, it shouldn't be too tough convincing law enforcement officers to work a double in this cruiser that's based on a fun to drive sports sedan.![Ford Interceptor Utility]()
For precincts with lots of snow, dirt roads and heavy perps, the all-wheel-drive Ford Interceptor Utility offers SUV capability and a 280 horsepower V6 that makes it more fuel efficient than the Crown Vic and also runs on E85 ethanol, so it can take a bite out of crime and foreign oil at the same time.![Dodge Charger Pursuit]()
The car its based on hasn't been revealed yet, but the 2011 Dodge Charger Pursuit seen in this teaser photo is sure to put the fear of the long arm of the law into any would-be felons. Red interior lighting helps with night vision, but should also give it a menacing glow. And, yea, its got a HEMI.![Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle]()
A new Caprice police car has been a long time coming, and its come a long way to do it. Built in Australia by GM's Holden division, the full-size sedan and its big 6.0-liter V8 engine may be the first imported car to give you a ticket since that Toyota Prius-driving traffic cop wrote you up for that expired meter.![Carbon Motors E7]()
This one is both wild, and a wild card. The aluminum framed, BMW diesel-powered purpose-built cruiser is from an Indiana-based startup called Carbon Motors. The company is hoping to parlay a Department of Energy loan that it's applied for into the most radical police car ever. How radical? It has rear suicide doors. Not for the criminals to use for that purpose, but to make it easier to get them in the car. Yes, It's a brave new world for America's Finest.The New Police Car Posse
Are you good at spotting Ford Crown Victoria police cars before they spot you? Well, its going out of production and a new crop of cruisers is angling to grab a slice of the "pull over and get out of the car please" pie. Here's a look at the major players that may be coming to a rearview mirror near you.
