No, it is considered feloniously assaulting an officer (or whatever the local statutory wording is), and in some situations using deadly force to stop the assault might be authorized. But the vehicle itself is not considered a deadly weapon per se, and aiming it at the officer is not considered using deadly force in and of itself. Several other factors need to come into play. And of course using a vehicle to commit an assault is quite different than attempting to elude the police in a vehicle.
