Dick Johnson tunes a Ford Falcon GT-F,
Australia’s most powerful police car

IT has more power than any of the V8 Supercars at this year’s Bathurst 1000.
It can detect stolen cars in milliseconds, and spot speeding drivers from up to a kilometre away.
It’s not a bird, it’s not a plane. It’s Australia’s most powerful — and most technically advanced — police car

The NSW highway patrol have taken delivery of one of the last ever Ford Falcon GT sedans — which, in a one-off special, has a supercharged V8 engine tuned by racing legend Dick Johnson to a staggering 800 horsepower, or 600 kilowatts in modern terms.

Not only does this police car’s power eclipse the V8 Supercars on the grid at next weekend’s Bathurst 1000 (which each have about 600 horsepower or 450 kilowatts) it has almost twice as much grunt as a standard Ford Falcon GT.




FAST FACTS: Ford Falcon GT-F: most powerful police car ever
* Supercharged 5.0-litre V8 engine
* Power: 600 kilowatts in modern measurements or 800 horsepower in old-school numbers (up from 351kW or 470hp)
* In modern terms, the Falcon GT-F’s power has increased from the standard output of 351kW to 600kW, hence the ‘600’ plaque next to Dick Johnson’s name under the bonnet.
* Racing grade Brembo brakes front and rear
* Dunlop high-performance tyres (wider at the rear than at the front to improve grip)
Technology: how fast are you going now?
* On-board tablet computer to check licence status, outstanding warrants, photo ID the driver (mobile fingerprint technology being rolled out)
* Front and rear cameras record non-stop footage to a fireproof and tamperproof safe in the boot
* These two cameras can beam live images to the police operations room to monitor critical incidents (other cars will eventually be upgraded)
* Three automatic numberplate recognition cameras can detect unregistered cars — and cars likely to be driven by wanted or banned drivers — day or night
* Drug testing equipment joins the latest breath test units with GPS so police can track where the high alcohol readings are, and target those areas
* Digital encrypted radio; earlier police radio systems could be heard by scanners bought cheaply at electronics stores, today’s radio network is more secure
* Long range radar can detect speeding vehicles up to 1 kilometre away on the open road
* Handheld laser units can pinpoint individual cars in traffic, zooming in on an area the size of a numberplate. The latest laser unit also records vision for evidence in court to prove the police stopped the right car
* New LED blue and red emergency lights are brighter than before and have complete 360 degree coverage to be easier to spot in intersections; more powerful ‘take-down’ lights beam directly into the back windows of cars stopped by police
