Mercedes E43 AMG Police Car – Video

 

Australia’s Victoria Police have just received the keys to a Mercedes-AMG E43 that will be used as a highway patrol car throughout the state.

Powered by a bi-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine, the E43 pushes out 396 hp and 384 lb-ft of torque and is fast enough to keep pace with most vehicles on the roads.

 

 

The AMG E43 sedan will replace the Mercedes-AMG GLE63 Coupe the police force had and is on loan from Mercedes-Benz for the next 12 months.

Beyond being quite a performer, the E43 has been selected by Victoria Police as the perfect car to highlight the importance of advanced safety systems in vehicles. Thanks to a suite of hardware, the current E-Class is capable of similar semi-autonomous driving to Tesla’a Autopilot system.
