New Interceptor Replaces Crown Vic, Remains E85 Compatible

Ford Motor Company recently announced that the new 2011 Police Interceptor, based on the redesigned Taurus, will replace the ubiquitous Crown Victoria. The new Interceptor design meets tough new federal rollover requirements, while the Crown Vic did not.

The power train features a V-6 engine that matches or exceeds V-8 performance in two options: a highly efficient 3.5-liter E8- compatible V-6 engine delivering at least 263 horsepower, and an all-new 3.5-liter EcoBoost™ V-6 twin-turbocharged, direct-injection.

The vehicle is to be built in Ford’s Torrence Ave plant on Chicago’s South side. Read more.
