What is it?
Ford Interceptor
What's special about it?
Ford owns roughly 80 percent of the police cruiser market here in the States, but isn't resting on its laurels. This concept cop car showed off what goodies Ford has in store for our nation's law officers.
An imposing push bar dominates the Crown Vic's nose and is supported by a reinforced beam that allows stranded vehicles to be pushed to a safe location. This big bumper can also be used to push the corner of a fleeing vehicle to force it into a spin and avoid a high-speed chase. High-intensity-discharge headlights along with search lights mounted on the side mirrors afford maximum nighttime visibility and the new location for the spotlights makes for a more aerodynamic cruiser.
To allow police officers more of an advantage when chasing scofflaws, the 4.6-liter V8 is fitted with four-valve heads, providing a stout 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque.
Why should you care?
It's always a good to know what the latest police cruiser looks like, so you can tell whether or not that sedan rushing up behind you is a "bear in a plain brown wrapper" or not. -- John DiPietro
