It looks as if the recent update to the 2013 Ford Taurus (http://www.autoblog.com/model/taurus) will translate to the company's new Police Interceptor (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/police interceptor). Our elite squad of spy photographers have managed to capture a few images of a revamped Interceptor during transport, and while several mules have been spotted with heavy front-end camouflage, this particular car has dropped its gown for the whole world to see. Along with a more aggressive front fascia, the vehicle wears a larger grille than its civilian counterparts to accommodate additional lighting, and perhaps enable better breathing.
Speaking of lighting, Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford) looks to have reworked the vehicle's taillights to accept emergency strobes as well. Take this as an official warning - if you see this guy stalking you through traffic, it's probably already too late. Just go ahead and pull on over.
It's unclear exactly what performance modifications will accompany the aesthetic alterations. Still, given that the 2013 Taurus is now available with 290 horsepower from the base 3.5-liter V6 as well as a fuel-efficient 2.0-liter Ecoboost (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ecoboost) four-cylinder and the mighty Ecoboost V6 with 365 ponies, law enforcement will likely have plenty of options to chose from.2013 Ford Taurus Police Interceptor shows its face (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/05/11/2013-ford-taurus-police-interceptor-shows-its-face/) originally appeared on Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) on Wed, 11 May 2011 09:36:00 EST.
