New Eco /The NYPD goes hybridMarch 5, 2009 | New Eco | by Katriane Hill |

The New York Police Department is getting a facelift. The other week it was announced that the police department would be accruing forty Nissan Altima hybrid vehicles for use in patrolling the city. Eighteen of these vehicles will be regular marked police cars, the rest will be unmarked and in use. The hybrids, which have a top speed of 116 mph (significantly less than the Dodge Ford Charger’s 135 mph), can cruise at speeds of up to 40 mph without using a single drop of gas.

I saw this on the local news before. They ask "will they be able to obtain high enough speeds like the previous models"? Answer? HELL no.

It looks like they forgot to mask off the exhaust tips.

In NYC cabs are painted probably 5 times in 2-3 years for the most part... and they are painted in a couple of hours!

Masking? The only masking they do is on their face so they dont drop dead!

[PHENOMenalVinyl]

^^^haha this is true.........these cars are gonna pull soooooo many people over lol

[Jose3.5]

I'm going to paint my exhaust tips black

[jeffliu35]

im a cop for new york. we arent gonna be seeing those altimas for a while just like they did with the chargers for us. its probably gonna goto special details, teams, and brass first before it trickles down to regular precincts.

The Chargers are awesome. Couple of PD's have them including Nassau and Long Beach PD only use Chargers haha.
