Ford Interceptor
Ford Interceptor Ford Motor Co. today unveiled its new Police Interceptor -- the replacement for the venerable Crown Victoria.
The new police car will be built at Ford's Chicago Assembly Plant.
Ken Czubay, Ford's U.S. sales and marketing chief, said it also will deliver up to 25 percent better fuel economy than the Crown Vic, thanks to two new engine offerings:
• A 3.5-liter V-6 engine delivering at least 263 horsepower and E85 compatibility.
• Ford Interceptor A 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 twin-turbocharged, direct-injection engine will deliver at least 365 horsepower and 350 ft.-lb. of torque.
The new Police Interceptor will feature a six-speed automatic transmission. Both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions will be available.
"We have an extremely powerful standard engine, and to top that off, we also offer our exclusive EcoBoost technology," said Scott Tobin, Ford vehicle line director for cars and crossovers. "Both are designed for the severe-duty cycle that police engage in on a daily basis."
Ford engineers worked closely with Ford's Police Advisory Board of law enforcement professionals to design and tune the vehicle.
