Ford Mustang Mach-E introduced as latest NYPD patrol car



The New York Police Department took to the New York International Auto Show to introduce its latest patrol car, the Mustang Mach-E. The NYPD has ordered 184 of the electric crossovers in an effort to green-ify their fleet.

A walkaround from the floor of the Jacob K. Javits convention center shows some of the modifications that the NYPD Mach-E has compared to the showroom-stock model. The cars are all based on the GT model, which provides 480 horsepower, 600 pound-feet of torque, and a Ford-claimed 0-60 time of 3.5 seconds. The NYPD cars will come equipped with a steel roof rather than a panoramic one.

In addition, each car will be fitted with flashing lights on the roofs and in the grilles, which are standard locations for NYPD vehicles. Doors and windows will also be fitted with ballistic panels and glass. From the rear, high-vis reflective material will keep officers safe, and a roof-mounted message board can display scrolling text.
