Police in NSW are set to trial new cars to boost their highway fleet
One option, a 5-litre, V8, Mustang Pony,will soon be trialed NSW Police
If successful more of the vehicles could be added to the fleet
This comes as local production of the Falcon and Commodore ends

The V8 Mustang being trialed by NSW Police as a possible edition to the state's highway patrol fleet
The Pony features a 5-litre engine, and as it is a coupe has just two doors - however highway police have been commissioned cars in this style before.


In the 70s and 80s Valiant Chargers and Falcon Coupes were used by NSW, Queensland and Victoria Police, in more recent times, 2000s, the Holden Monaro was commissioned.
The lack of room for prisoners was not seen to be an issue as highway police can simply contact general duties officers if they need someone taken to a station.
The Commodore police currently use is set to go out of production in October while the Falcon will stop being made in Australia in 2017.

2015 marked 50 years since the Mustang Pony was first marketed to the public
According to Carsales the search for a replacement vehicle has not been easy and the Subaru WRX, SRT8 Core and Chrysler 300C are also under consideration.
BMW, Mercedes, and Audi makes were also under consideration according to Carsales however they did not fit the $50,000 - $60,000 price bracket the force was restricted to.
Current police vehicles cost the force $48,000.
The Mustang Pony is located at the NSW Police Traffic and Highway Patrol Command centre in Huntingwood, Sydney.
It is not yet known if more Mustangs will be commissioned by the NSW Police.

The Ford Falcon is also currently used by police but production for that vehicle in Australia will end in 2017

David Cameron will REFUSE to take part in a referendum TV debate - but a top pollster warns if the PM is seen 'looking scared' it will boost the Out campaign

David Cameron will REFUSE to take part in an EU referendum TV debate - but a top pollster warns if the PM is seen 'running scared' it will boost the Out campaign
Reports today say Cameron will resist a head to head TV clash on the EU
He wants to avoid a TV row between top Tories and keep away from Farage
PM took part in pre-election clashes last year but avoided a one on one

David Cameron today appeared ready to refuse to take part in any head to head TV debates ahead of the EU referendum.
In what is set to be a repeat of the long running row ahead of the general election, the Prime Minister has reportedly ruled out a television clash.
But a top pollster today warned failing to appear in a debate could drive voters to the Out campaign.
Mr Cameron eventually agreed to take part in a series of election programmes last year but after protracted negotiations stood firm on his refusal to go one on one with Ed Miliband.
The Sun today said Mr Cameron was keen to avoid clashing directly with other senior Conservative during the heat of the referendum campaign.
The paper added that the Prime Minister's team sees little benefit in a clash with Ukip leader Nigel Farage - who took on ex Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg in European Parliament election TV debates in 2014 and was widely seen as the victor.
TV debates have become an established part of British elections after taking place in various formats since the 2010 poll.
Then, the three main leaders took part in three head to head clashes on live television.
Ahead of last May's elections, Mr Cameron took part in a seven way debate as well two other programmes where he appeared in the same programme as other leaders but not on the same stage.


Together with Ed Miliband, he took part in a Channel 4-Sky News show which involved an interview with Jeremy Paxman and audience questions.
In a final clash a week before polling day, Mr Cameron, Mr Miliband and Mr Clegg all appeared separately before the same BBC Question Time audience.
Ipsos Mori chief executive today told the Daily Telegraph not appearing in debates would now be a risk for Mr Cameron because opponents could suggest he was 'running scared'.
Mr Page said: 'If the Prime Minister doesn't take part in debates, the public will be wondering why. His opponents will be able to say he is running scared.
'It might have an effect, but a lot of people make up their minds a long time before they see any of these debates that confirm their prejudices.

'Ultimately it depends how close it is. If it is very close then anything can make a difference, a bad debate might make all the difference.
'They are important and people will be expecting them.'
Mr Cameron has hinted before he may not agree to debates.
He said last month: 'When we have settled the issue of the renegotiation then it will be a question of looking at how we best make sure that this debate, these arguments, are best put before the British people.
'I am very happy to talk about that at the time.
'I confidently predict that by the end of this referendum campaign, people will be sick of the sight of me on their television screens in whatever formats we decide to choose.'
