Pursuit Rated: An Up-Close Look at the New Ford Police Interceptor
information about car
Don't look now--though it might be wise to check you rearview mirror--but cop cars are suddenly quite cool. The latest evidence of this is found at Ford, where a new Police Interceptor based on the Taurus is set to go on patrol in 2011.
And it's not just the Blue Oval that's in hot pursuit of the police market. Chevrolet recently revealed the V8-powered, rear-wheel-drive sedan we've all been waiting for. No, not an Impala SS. This is a cop cruiser called the Caprice. At the moment, you have to be in uniform to drive this Bow Tie beauty, which is a crime. And of course, Chrysler is also hitting the streets with fury--not with the Gran Fury famously used by police forces decades ago, but with its modern muscle car, the Hemi-powered Dodge Charger.
With all of this Detroit muscle on patrol, what chance does a perp have? Not much, if he's being tailed by officers in the new Ford Police Interceptor. It replaces the Crown Vic next year. We got an up-close look at the new cop car on Thursday at Ford's development facilities in Dearborn, Mich. It's an impressive sedan with all of the modern amenities police need on the mean streets of America.
