In an effort to increase its police car market share from 18% to 40%, Dodge, Chrysler has released photos of their new 2011 Dodge Charger Pursuit. It is based on the 2011 Dodge Charger regular model, but has extra features added, which make it more suitable for police use.

Chrysler had a police advisory board help them in the making of the new vehicle. They wanted to make the car as appealing to police officers as possible. As you can see from the image above, this car looks pretty menacing. The Pursuit version will feature a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine capable of running on E-85 or an optional upgraded 5.7-liter HEMI V-8.

Chrysler hopes that this new police car will catch on with police departments all over the country. They have stiff competition though, from several other car manufacturers.
