New Cop Cars

The next time you’re pulled over for speeding, you might be surprised by what you see in the rearview. Ford recently unveiled its replacement for the Crown-Victoria-based Police Interceptor -- and it’s a Taurus.

According to Cars.com, “Police departments across the country won’t be piloting just any Taurus off dealership lots. Ford says approximately 90 percent of the interior has been redesigned for police use.” Unique features include front seats with anti-stab plates to protect officers from violent criminals and vinyl rear seats to make cleaning up after messy ones easier.

That’s not all. USA Today reports: “The Taurus-based model will keep the Police Interceptor name but offer just two 3.5-liter V-6 engines, no big V-8s, as in the Crown Vic. Ford boasts that the standard version will be 25% more fuel efficient than the current standard V-8. And the version with two turbochargers, what Ford calls EcoBoost, will deliver 365 horsepower, 115 more than the standard Crown Vic.” The 365-horsepower V6 is the same found in the performance-tuned Taurus SHO. An optional all-wheel drive system will also be available.

The result is a better-performing police car. “Ford’s new police car can endure a rear-end crash at 75 m.p.h., easily jump curbs and accelerate twice as fast as Ford's outgoing iconic Crown Victoria Police Interceptor,” says the Detroit Free Press.

You do know this isn't a bad thing, right? Where I live it's so hard to point out a cop car. These would be easy to spot.

Well doubt these cars will be available everywhere for quite awhile so it doesn't matter.

Yes i do, and where I live cops are in regular cop cars. The sneakiest I will see are those cops with no sirens on top, but it's obvious IMO. w/e though.

Ya I got the same problem, most of the cop cars around my area are dodge chargers in like silver paint. You cant even tell it's a cop car. At night forget about it....

The only way to differentiate from it being a normal charger is the cop version has no rims. But that's hard to see when the car is behind you.

Yea no doubt. Theres a red impala roaming the streets, that one is tricky.

The police cars around here are dirt brown with big light reflecting stickers on the side, pretty easy to point out.

These will be easy to spot, just look in shops. Common its a ford, they will fall apart quickly.
