Chevrolet has revealed the new Silverado 1500 Crew Cab police car.

On the outside it looks the same as the standard car, except for the obligatory police badging.

It has, however, been modified with an auxiliary transmission oil cooler, high output alternator and a 110 volt outlet.

Some options are available, including spotlights, a rearview camera and a master key, which allows access to every Silverado in the police’s fleet.

The Silverado police car is powered by a 5,3-litre V8 engine with 264kW and 518Nm on tap.

This power is sent to the rear wheels, which means police chase videos are set to become more entertaining in the coming months.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
