2013 Ford Police Interceptor
Ford has announced the availability of a third engine option for its Taurus-based Police Interceptor.
Since it was first introduced in 2010, users have had the choice of either a normally-aspirated 3.5 litre V6 motor that develops 263 bhp (196 kW / 266 PS), or an EcoBoost turbocharged version with 365 bhp (272 kW / 370 PS).

Now the powertrain line-up is being augmented with a 3.7 litre Ti-VCT engine that features twin camshafts and variable valve timing.
With 305 bhp (227 kW / 309 PS), 378 Nm (279 lb/ft) of peak torque and all-wheel drive, it’s EPA-rated at 25 mpg US (30.0 mpg UK / 9.4 l/100km) on the highway and 18 mpg US (21.6 mpg UK / 13.1 l/100km) in the city.
Those figures could make the new engine a popular choice, for the reasons that Bill Gubing, chief engineer for Police Interceptor, explained: “This combination of great performance and top-notch fuel economy means law enforcement agencies won’t have to compromise power or fuel efficiency while getting the job done.”
