Drivers in Riverside, California might want to keep
an eye on their speedometer as Saleen Automotive has delivered a special
edition Mustang Police Car to the Riverside Police Officers' Association.
Personally delivered by CEO Steve Saleen, the police
car is apparently based on the Saleen 302 Black Label and features a
traditional black and white livery with Riverside Police graphics. Given its
role as a police car, Saleen also installed a siren and external speakers.
The company didn't have much to say about the
interior but confirmed it has Saleen gauges and the "necessary police
equipment." The cabin also features LED police lights so they don't affect
the car's aerodynamics.
A supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine resides under the
hood and produces 730 hp and 812 Nm of torque. Besides the
upgraded engine, the car has a fully revised suspension and a high-performance
braking system.
The car will be driven by specially trained officers
and it will be used for a variety of different purposes including engaging with
the community and bringing attention to fallen heroes in support of the Police
Officers' Assistance Fund.
