For whatever reason, any car ends up being several magnitudes cooler once it’s turned into a cop car. The result is the same even when you start with an already cool car, as evidenced by Germany’s new Polizei Ford Mustang.
The special Ford Mustang GT is the German police force’s new “Tune it! Safe!” demo car that will be used as an outreach tool to promote safe vehicle modification. The car was commissioned by the Verband der Automobil Tuner (VDAT), essentially Germany’s equivalent of the Specialty Equipment Market (SEMA), and is sponsored by Germany’s Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure, among other organizations. The car was built by Wolf Racing, which tuned the Mustang GT’s 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 engine to 440 hp and added custom 20-inch alloy wheels wrapped in Hankook Ventus S1 Evo² tires, a height-adjustable coilover suspension, a body kit with front splitter, side sills, rear diffuser, a rear wing, and unique bumpers, and a sports exhaust system.
The modified Mustang cop car will serve as a sort of liaison to the tuner crowd in Germany, which may otherwise not be all that receptive to a police presence at their events. Though this Polizei pony car won’t chase down bad guys on the Autobahn, S550 Mustang interceptors do exist. Mustang tuner Steeda has offered a police package for law enforcement agencies since early this year.
