This page refers to one of three police cars in GTA V known as the 'Police Cruiser'. Two other police cars exist and share the in-game name of "Police Cruiser": the Police Buffalo and Police Cruiser. The Vapid Police Cruiser, commonly referred to by the community as the Interceptor, is a law enforcement sedan appearing in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. It is one of the 3 types of police cruisers used by the LSPD (though easily the most frequently used) and as a result it can be found at police stations as well as being seen pursuing the player or NPCs. It also can be found patrolling some areas in Los Santos. The car's design is clearly inspired by American styling featured on the Taurus-based Ford Police Interceptor sedan, although the LED light strips featured on the bumper more accurately resemble those found on the 2013-2015 Kia Optima in angle and length, while the rear tail lights resemble those of the Australian market's Ford FG Falcon (which is also used as a police cruiser).

The "Interceptor" also appears alongside Stanier and Buffalo-based police cars. The front end of the car is dominated by the presence of a large push bar, with four lights in the top horizontal beam of the unit. The base of the front bumper is trimmed with a polymer. The lower central area of the bumper features a trapezium-shaped air duct and at either side, level with the top of the duct, there are LED strip lights.

Semi Truck Tire DiameterNear to the grille there are headlamp units made up of two circular lamps and an amber turn indicator area on the outside. Honda Fit Tire LifeThere are hideaway strobe lights mounted in the headlight assembly.

The post mount spotlight comes on when you switch to its high beams. The sides of the car feature the black and white color scheme, with the white area having police markings. The sides of the car are fairly simple with the body only featuring flared wheel arches. The doors feature black wing mirrors at the base of the A-pillar, with a spotlamp mounted above the left one. The roof mounted light bar is split into eight sections, with the outer three on each side having either red or blue colored lamps. The central two are clear colored. The C pillar of the car is fairly smooth and at the top corners of the rear windscreen there are small colored alternate flashing lights. The roof also features unit numbers. The car uses black wheels with chrome center caps, wrapped in high profile tires. On the inside of the car there is a protective mesh separating the front occupants from the rear. Near the top of the car's rear face in the central third of the cars width there is an impressed area where the license plate is mounted.

Various badges are mounted near almost all of the vertices of the area (excluding the lower left). Similar in height, at the edges of the car body are the rear light units with inner edges parallel to the outer edges of the license plate area. The rear lights are split into four regions, the central strips are where the turn indicator and reverse lamps are found. The rear lights also have the ability to flash alternately in a wig-wag pattern. At the base of the rear bumper, covering three-quarters of the car's width is a trapezium-shaped polymer insert. Near the top of the insert, on either side there are red horizontal reflectors. In the lower corners of the rear insert there are twin-circle exhaust tips. The rear of the car, especially the rear light units, appears to resemble the Australian Ford FG Falcon. This is somewhat ironic, because the Falcon is more popular as a taxi than a police car in Australia. It also resembles a first generation Nissan Tiida. This car appears to be the HD Universe succesor to GTA IV's Merit based Police Patrol, as the GTA IV Stanier Mk1 cruiser is replaced by its Mk2 counterpart.

The word "Police" emblazoned on the sides of the car resembles the livery used on Ford Taurus Police Interceptor concept vehicles. The color scheme is the same as used on the Los Angeles Police Department Interceptors. It also looks like Carbon Motors' E7. The rear-wheel drive high powered Interceptor employs wishbone suspension for its front axle. The car also features 4-wheel disc brakes. It has good acceleration compared to most sedans, far better than the older platform that it replaced in the LSPD. It also has good braking and above average handling, and it takes a lot of effort to make it lose grip thanks to its stiff suspension. If it has any flaw, it is its durability. The introduction of crumple points on this car seems to be overused, especially around the front wheels, causing wheel cambering after only several crashes. Compared to the Stanier, it takes less effort to bend the axle to the point that the wheel locks, and the new turbocharged engine is less durable than the old engine found in the standard Police Cruiser.

Some have even found it difficult to control the car while in midair, though the cause of this is unknown. Despite its downsides, the car is powerful and controllable. If the car is not abused, it can be an excellent choice for any officer.

(unobtainable without save editor or mods) Searches for WS2811 find references to both "5v" and "12v". This is explained in the spec sheet for the WS2811. In the 5v usage, the WS2811 is driving a single LED on each output pin. (This is the configuration in the strips.)

In the 12v usage, the WS2811 is driving three LEDs on each output pin. The interesting point is that this is not a 5v supply in the 12v configuration; instead a dropping resistor is used between the 12v supply and the WS2811.
