Fans of Mopar performance cars might not be too pleased with the news that Mopar has introduced a new pursuit police car based on the 2012 Charger — you’ll not want one of these following you too closely.
Dodge and Mopar have teamed up with Crown North America to develop six different police packages that are “ready-for-duty right from the manufacturer” as Dodge puts it.
The Dodge Charger Pursuit offers a choice of two engines: the aluminum 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6, which delivers 292 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque, and gets up to 27 mpg (highway); or the 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 with Fuel Saver Technology that delivers 370 horsepower, 390 lb.-ft. of torque and up to 25 highway mpg.
It has performance-tuned suspension, load-leveling Nivomat shocks, heavy-duty anti-lock vented-disc brakes (ABS), front- and rear-stabilizer bars, 18-inch performance tires on steel wheels and two-mode police-specific Electronic Stability Control (ESC).
The Dodge Charger Pursuit was developed with the guidance of the brand’s Police Advisory Board. It features a mobile-command interior, including a Vehicle Systems Interface Module for easy equipment integration, heavy-duty police-duty front seats and column-mounted shifter with Auto Stick.
In case you’re interested in ordering one here is a brief overview of the six package options for the 2012 Dodge Charger Pursuit:
• Base Prep Police Package (AYE): includes front and rear wire harness, power distribution center, siren speaker with bracket, trunk tray and trunk cooling fan

A few months ago Ford announced details on its Police Interceptor, based on the Ford Taurus. Now, with Chrysler in the game, which do you think will be the better car for law enforcement?
