01.33.70 IT WASN'T JUST BECAUSE IT HAD A HEMI® V8. We didn't post the fastest lap ever recorded during Michigan State Police Testing* simply because we had a ton of power under the hood. The other guys had power, too. But they didn't set any records. We set the record because the Dodge Charger Pursuit handled the course so well… and had power. Through every curve, every chicane and every inch of the demanding road course at Grattan Raceway… we were faster. The tight steering and intelligence-based suspension help keep officers in control in dangerous driving situations. "W"-rated tires, purpose-built ABS brakes, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), All-Speed Traction Control, Rain Brake Support and more… all contribute to providing safe passage when needed. And help make Charger Pursuit a 2011 Top Safety Pick of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. ** Simply put, everything we put into the Charger Pursuit is designed to give officers a tactical advantage and help keep them safe. * Results from the 2012 Model Year Police Vehicle Evaluation conducted by the Michigan State Police. **IIHS groups Top Safety Pick winners according to vehicle type, size and evaluations of crash test performance.
