Ford Mustang Mach-E •

Ford Mustang Mach-E • Powertrain: Single Motor RWD or Dual Motor AWD • Output: 266-480 hp, 317-634 lb-ft The Ford Mustang electric SUV hasn’t officially joined the force police force yet. However, in 2021, the New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) placed an order for 184 Ford Mustang Mach-E crossover SUVs. The most powerful iteration of the Mustang SUV, the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT produces a whopping 480 ponies and sprints to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. Ford claims that the Mustang Mach-E is the first all-electric vehicle to successfully pass the Michigan State Police 2022 model year evaluation. We’ll have to wait and see how Ford bedizens the Mach-E to further meet pursuit requirements. 120 The BLUES

Dodge Charger Pursuit Powertrain: 3.6-liter V6 + AWD or 5.7-liter V8 + RWD Output: V6 – 300 hp, 264 lb-ft, V8 – 370 hp, 395 lb-ft Highlights: Heavy-duty four-wheel disc brakes, Available NIJ level III ballistic protection doors, Specially designed front, and rear crumple zones The Dodge Charger Pursuit is arguably the meanest police cruiser in the American police fleet. This potent muscle sedan is impelled by a Pentastar V6 or a Hemi V8 engine, both mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Along with a strengthened body structure and stronger brakes, the Charger Pursuit can also be equipped with armored doors. The available NIJ (National Institute of Justice) Level III ballistic protection doors are capable of withstanding rifle rounds. This gas-guzzling Charger is currently one of the fastest police cars in the country. Unfortunately, if you haven’t placed your order for the last of the 2023, the only place you’ll see a new Charger is from the rear, trying to catch it. Only time will tell if the new electric version of the Charger will come equipped with a police package. Or they could drop a HEMI in the new body and call it the Pursuit. The BLUES 121
