But if you talk about the performance of the Ford Victoria Crown, especially the police modified car, the safety and handling of the car are really not comparable to ordinary cars.

"American police cars? Isn't that the world of the Ford Victoria Crown? ”

The ugly American police car with a long nose came to mind, Jin Xiaoqiang casually said the origin of this car, to be honest, whether it was in his previous life or in this life, he had seen this police car in countless Hollywood movies and TV series.

In Hollywood movies, I have seen this car countless times, chasing, colliding, and even rolling over with bandits' vehicles on the road.

To be honest, in addition to the appearance of the car is not very good-looking, but the safety and handling of the car are really great, otherwise in a country with a developed car culture like the United States, people would choose this car as a special car for the police?

"Humph! Ford's Victoria Crown? If we hadn't shifted the direction of research and development in the automotive department in the last century, where would we have gotten this car to serve as a façade for the police? ”

Heard Jin Xiaoqiang mention this Victoria crown of his old rival, Nick. Reilly snorted coldly and spoke up Ford with contempt to show his disdain for the opponent.

Then he began to explain to Jin Xiaoqiang the legendary history of the brand in the American police car industry.

Indeed, this is also because Jin Xiaoqiang does not know the situation of police cars in the United States, so he does not know the history of GM in the United States police special car.

You must know that the world's automobile culture originated in the United States, and the car is a tool that has also been carried forward in the hands of Americans, but this tool, if used properly. That's a big boost to human development, if it's not used properly. That will definitely become a tool in the hands of the bad guys.

I think back then, since the automobile became popular in the United States. There are countless criminals who use cars as a tool to commit crimes and rob and flee.

And since the twenties and thirties of the last century, the American police began to notice the benefits of using a police car, because if the bandits used a high-horsepower model. Then the police car is likely to be out of reach, resulting in the most annoying escape.

So actually from the last century. The police in the United States have a habit of customizing special police cars from several major car companies.

And the system in the United States is also different from that of the Celestial Empire, and the citizens of the United States do not like the policemen who take taxpayers' taxes as salaries and sit in their offices every day. Drink coffee with a big belly. So the American police, the most common, are the police who patrol the streets to enforce the law.

They are a comprehensive all-round police officer who integrates the traffic police of the Celestial Empire, and 110, as well as armed explosion-proof police, hesitate to patrol the road for eight hours a day, and the Americans are all relatively large. Therefore, the requirements of the American police for the police cars they use every day are also very high.

Not only to ensure that the driver's seat of the car is wide enough and comfortable. It is also necessary to ensure that the car's handling performance and strong power are used to ensure that they can rush to the scene as quickly as possible in the event of an emergency, or chase the criminal.

Therefore, the requirements of the American police for special police cars are very high.

And the universal police car of the American police, after so many years of development, has also experienced several generations of products.

The first generation was the Ford Modela, and then GM grabbed power, and the two sides won and lost each other from the 30s to the 50s.

Later, in the fifties of the last century, GM's Chevrolet Impala began to take over the police car market and dominate the world, and then the police car market in the United States has been monopolized by GM for decades.

Over the years, many of GM's brands have a history of police cars, including the Implala, which has been used for the longest time and the most widely used, as well as another Chevrolet Caprice, and a Chevrolet Mindrybox. …,

It wasn't until the mid-80s of the last century, because of the impact of Japanese and South Korean automobile manufacturers, GM had to adjust the design scheme in the mid-level family car market, and they began to stop developing new high-power V8 sedans, which made Ford's Victoria pick up the cheap and became the standard configuration of the American police again.

Since 1996, Ford's Victoria Crown has gradually become the main force in the American police car market, and gradually drove GM's products out of this market, coupled with the wealth of GM, for this market, it is not particularly important, which has led to a large loss of market share, and so far, Ford's Victoria Crown has maintained 80% of the market share in the US police car market.

Every year, about 80,000 new police cars are on the road in the United States, and almost 60,000 of them are Ford's Victoria Crown models!

And among the remaining 20,000 vehicles, there are many Ford's modified police high-horsepower, multi-functional SUV models, and GM and Chrysler have almost been driven out of this market.

By Nick. After such an explanation by Reilly, Jin Xiaoqiang understood that not all of the police car market in the United States were dominated by Ford, and it turned out that before GM gave up this market, they were the No.1 in this market.

But wait until you hear Nick. After Reilly finished explaining, Jin Xiaoqiang continued.

"Uh...... Nick, listening to you say this, I only understand the history of your GM in the American police car industry, but I have a question, that is, you also mentioned before, this police car market, every year is only about 80,000 new cars on the road, only more than 80,000 sales, and more than 60,000 are cars. But this number is really nothing compared to the million-dollar civilian passenger car market every year? ”

"What?"

Nick, when he heard this, his eyes almost didn't spit out, but when he thought about it, Jin Xiaoqiang really didn't understand the way of the American police car, so he suppressed his anger and gave Jin Xiaoqiang a popular lesson.

"Misterkin, what we're talking about is not an ordinary model on the market, but it's a specially modified model. For example, our Impala models that used to be on the market, ordinary models are also sold on the market, but they are very different from those used by the police. You must know that many details of the police car need to be modified, such as the engine, chassis, brake system, and the inside of the door panels. The price of this police modified car generally starts from $62,000 to $80,000, and you can buy three brand-new Passats in the U.S. market at such a price......

After talking about Nick. Reilly also rolled his eyes at Jin Xiaoqiang to show his contempt for his ignorance, and Jin Xiaoqiang was also dumbfounded.

Okay, I've only heard that Americans don't waste public money before, but now it seems that it's not like that?

The price of such a modified police car can be fully worth the price of a luxury high-end car, and such a deal is completely promising!

Just imagine, the sales of 60,000 high-end luxury cars per year, this is how many high-end luxury cars dream of sales, even if Americans are so rich, but how much can BMW and Mercedes-Benz sell in the United States at the level of 50,000 US dollars a year?

And there is a minimum of 60,000 vehicles here, waiting here, this is a big fat meat!

No wonder this Nick. Reilly would rush over in a hurry to ask for his own support, but what kind of technical support did they mention? …,

Indeed, this is also caused by Jin Xiaoqiang's ignorance of the history of American police cars, in the nineties of the last century, because of the transformation of research and development, GM began to stop developing high-horsepower cars, and gradually faded out of the American police car market.

You must know that American police cars, in order to ensure that they can quickly pursue criminals and quickly arrive at the crime scene, their police cars are generally standard with V8 engines above 5.0L.

However, GM later gave up the research and development of this medium and high-horsepower engine, so it was gradually driven out of the market by Ford, but in recent years, GM has been losing money in the international arena, so it remembered this profitable deal, so there is a desire to challenge Ford again and regain this market.

And the police in the United States, in recent years, do have the idea of updating their police cars, you must know that from 1996 to now 2006, Ford's Victoria Crown, they have been using it for ten years.

The advantages and disadvantages of this kind of car, they all have understanding, the benefits are not much to say, but the disadvantages are equally obvious, that is, the displacement is too large, too fuel-intensive.

Although the Americans have just finished the Iraq war and are not short of fuel, the price of oil is quite high now, and American taxpayers do not want the police to use such gas-intensive cars all the time.

After all, there are so many police cars patrolling the road every day, and there are not so many speeding car chase cases or violent cases every day, so it is indeed a bit too expensive to drive such a large displacement police car to patrol.

So there are many local state governments, or city governments, that are thinking about starting to reduce the displacement of police cars to please the public.

After all, the 4.6L V8 engine used in the Victoria Crown police car is too old, the displacement is not large, and the maximum peak power is only 254 horsepower.

Since last year, there have been many American people calling for the police to use a new generation of police cars, it doesn't matter what kind of car they use, the most important thing is that the displacement of the car should be reduced, and the key is to save fuel.

After all, if you drive a 4L or 5L V8 model every day, patrolling the road, are you also a little too wasteful?
