While many will opt for the 3.5 liter V6, the Dodge Charger police vehicle will be available with a 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine that produces 340 horsepower at 5000 rpm and 390 lb.-ft. of torque at 4000 rpm. Dodge Charger police vehicles equipped with HEMI engines will be able to go from zero to 60 mph in just 6.0 seconds, while multiple-displacement will keep gas mileage from being unreasonable.

The 3.5 liter V6 is the base engine, with 250 horsepower at 6400 rpm and 250 lb.-ft. of torque at 3800 rpm. Both have an electronic five-speed automatic, heavy-duty brakes and linings, an Electronic Stability Program (ESP) with Emergency Brake Assist, All-speed Traction Control, and four-wheel Anti-lock Brake System (ABS). Combined, these features will provide balance and control for officers in a variety of surface and weather conditions.

Production will began in the fall of 2005 at the Brampton Assembly Plant in Brampton, Ontario (Canada) alongside the 2006 Dodge Magnum, Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300.

Good move to change the crappy ford cars. The last time the NYPD used Chrysler cars were in the 80's with those boxy Chrysler New Yorkers. The Charger is not bad. So this means that those Chargers and 300c's will be cabs in NYC. Glad I don't own one of theose cars
