General Motors has announced order and delivery dates, as

Chevrolet will begin taking orders for the Caprice PPV detective package (option pack "9C3") in
October 2010. Vehicles will hit the streets from April 2011. Ordering for the police package (option
pack "9C1") will begin in January 2011 and the vehicles go on duty from June 2011.
The Chevrolet Caprice police car is based on the Holden's long wheelbase Statesman/Caprice models.
The all-new Caprice PPV features:
- Comfort: Segment-leading interior volume (112 cubic feet/3,172 litres) provides a spacious interior,
providing officers with more comfort for long hours on patrol. In addition, it has specially designed
front seats sculptured to allow for gun belts. The seats are made with high wear material and have a seat
back security panel. There’s also an eight-way power driver’s seat with reclining back and lumbar
control, with manual fore and aft movement.
- Performance: Responsive rear-wheel-drive and a powerful 6.0 litre V8 engine, with 355 horsepower and
384 lb.-ft. torque, including the fuel-saving Active Fuel Management technology and E85 capability. It
delivers expected best-in-class top speed and zero-to-60 mph acceleration in less than six seconds. A V6
engine will be available beginning in the 2012 model year. In addition, the 6-speed transmission has
sport shift calibrations for performance driving. A 2.92 axle ratio with limited slip is standard.
