Mustang Mach-E SSP

After introducing its first all-electric Mustang Mach-E model, Ford has now unveiled a police version of this car called the Mustang Mach-E SSP.

The car was made for England’s Metropolitan Police Force, which will test its capabilities. With more interior space, significantly lower maintenance costs and zero-emission operation, it has attracted the attention of police administrations in the UK.

The body of the Mustang is painted in British police colors, with police markings. It is equipped with the MagneRide Damping System, an adaptive suspension technology that ensures drivers with an exciting and comfortable ride.

The first all-electric Mustang is powered by two electric motors with 480 hp (358 Kw) and 634 lb-ft (860 Nm) of torque. Accelerates to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. It is equipped with an 88 kWh extended range battery pack that produces enough juice for a range of 260 miles (419 kilometers).

It rides on 20-inch machined-face aluminum wheels with high-gloss Ebony Black-painted pockets paired with 245 / 45R20 Pirelli tires.

Ford has also, in the past, supplied police with its Mustang SSP models. Each police car was equipped with a 5.0-liter V8 engine with additional durability and functionality upgrades, to successfully serve its purpose.
