Chevy Caprice Police Car
On October 5, 2009, General Motors announced the new Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle (PPV), to be sold to law enforcement agencies in the U.S. market from 2011.
To be imported from Australia, the Chevrolet will be a captive import of the Holden Statesman, as opposed to the Pontiac G8 which was based on the short-wheelbase Holden Commodore version. However, Holden is able to produce the patrol car in short-wheelbase form if required.
Holden will initially outfit the Caprice with the 6.0 litre L76 AFM V8, although a 3.6 litre LLT SIDI V6 engine will be available nine months later. Both engines will be E85 ethanol-capable.
