Speed isn’t important to most of us while shopping for a new vehicle, but for a police officer, speed is a key component in law enforcement.

An article with the Detroit Free Press reported that Ford’s new Police Interceptor delivered the quickest lap time of all the car companies who performed at the L.A. Sheriff’s Department’s cop car tests.

These tests are observed closely by police departments all around the nation – many depend on the results of these tests to choose the cars they will purchase to fill their fleets.

The competition was tough this year, as General Motors and Chrysler also had new police car models that were being tested. Their new models included GM’s Chevrolet Caprice and Chrysler’s Dodge Charger Pursuit.

The winning Police Interceptor boasts a 3.5 liter “turbocharged” engine. This certainly contributed to its speedy lap performance.
