2011 Ford Police Interceptors - Click above to view the videos after the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/03/07/videos-ford-pits-police-interceptor-pair-against-the-competitio/#continued)
The long-serving Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford/) Crown Victoria Police Interceptor will take its final bow this year, leaving behind a legacy of protecting and serving that outstrips even the legendary Chevrolet Caprice. To fill the void left by the stout-but-dated Crown Vic, Ford is releasing a fleet of new Police Interceptors, and they've got a legacy to uphold.
Ahead of their launch, Dearborn pitted the new Interceptors against their competition from Dodge and Chevrolet, the Dodge Charger and the Chevrolet Tahoe. Ford is releasing 2011 Explorer (http://www.autoblog.com/model/explorer) and 2011 Taurus (http://www.autoblog.com/model/taurus) versions of the Interceptor, with the Explorer getting a 3.7-liter Ti-VCT V6 making 300 horsepower and the Taurus available with either a 3.5-liter 280-hp V6, or the 365 hp 3.5-liter EcoBoost mill from the SHO.
Ford is offering the Interceptors in front or all-wheel drive guise, eschewing the Crown Vic's rear-drive-only platform. Click past the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/03/07/videos-ford-pits-police-interceptor-pair-against-the-competitio/#continued) to see how Ford's efforts stack up to the competition.
