  • Ford Interceptor Sedan powered by a 3.7 Ti-VCT

    \
    Ford Interceptor Sedan is based on Taurus model, but comes with a mighty 3.7 liter twin-independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT). This engine offers increased power and fuel efficiency as well as good weight distribution.

    The engine delivers 305HP (227 kW) and 378Nm (279 lb-ft) of torque. The fuel consumption is 18 mpg in the city, 25 mpg on the highway and 21 mpg in the combined cycle.

    Both Ford Police Interceptors, sedan and utility vehicle, recently earned top safety ratings in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s New Car Assessment Program testing, which combines vehicle performance in frontal and side-impact crash tests and resistance to rollover.

    The Police Interceptor second row also has been optimized to address police-specific needs. The vinyl seats are specially sculpted and set back to improve second-row space and maximize legroom. The back door hinges are modified to open up another 10 degrees versus traditional rear doors.

    The Ford Police Interceptor also is equipped with a column shift specifically designed so the console area is free for the ever-increasing amounts of aftermarket police equipment necessary for officers to do their jobs.

  • Ford Mad Max Interceptor

    Ford Australia has developed two Mad Max Interceptor Concepts. The project is finished with the co-operation of Top Gear Australia, who will feature the two vehicles in the April issue of the magazine.

    Ford Australia’s Melbourne-based Asia, Pacific and Australia Design Director, Chris Svensson, jumped at the chance to design a new Interceptor and has since thrown the full weight of Ford Australia’s Research Centre behind the project, with stunning results.

    “Our entire team was very excited to be involved in this after-hours project and they approached it with a great deal of enthusiasm – even those that were too young to remember the first Mad Max movie,” commented Ford Australia’s Melbourne-based Asia, Pacific and Australia Design Director, Chris Svensson.

    “We had a special screening of the original movie so they could understand it.”, he added.

    Ford Mad Max Interceptor will include upgraded weaponry including a new taser to zap cars or bikers who get in the way of the car. The original movie had a Ford XB coupe-based Interceptor from 1970s.

    Another good news is planning a fourth series called Mad Max 4: Fury Road.
