The NYPD is adding the 2006 Dodge Charger to its fleet. The department plans to buy 15 of the cars for a pilot program that will begin this summer, the Associated Press reports. The police highway unit will test drive 10 Chargers featuring V-8 HEMI engines, officials said. The rest will have V-6s and hit city streets in the five boroughs. If they pass inspection, they could replace hundreds of squad cars in the NYPD’s 3,000-vehicle patrol fleet, now dominated by Ford Crown Victorias and Chevrolet Impala s.
