Outfitted with the 365-hp2 EcoBoost® V63 and standard AWD, it bests pursuit-rated police vehicles (including the V8-equipped competition).1 This Police Interceptor turned in the quickest 0-60-mph and 0-100-mph acceleration times, the fastest quarter-mile time, the best top speed in the quarter mile, and the fastest average lap time versus every other vehicle in the latest official testing by the Michigan State Police and Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department.1 That’s pure domination.
Comfort is first-rate and accommodations are first-class. Finely upholstered in heavy-duty cloth, the power driver’s seat accommodates 6 ways and includes manual lumbar support. Slim seat bolsters make getting in and out of the vehicle a quick affair, and they supply ample room for a holstered pistol. The rear bench maximizes space and is wrapped in heavy-duty vinyl. Access is made easy with wide-opening rear-door hinges (a Sedan exclusive). Within the super-capacity trunk, 16.6 cu. ft. of low-liftover room stows equipment out of sight. Pull up the flat load floor for the standard full-size spare stationed inside. It’s identical to the other 4 wheels and comes ready-to-roll with a TPMS sensor. A slide-out, custom-fit electronics tray3 and an auto-running circulation fan3 are designed to keep conditions temperate for sensitive devices.
It’s made in America4 specifically for police duty, and it’s built on the same platform as the Police Interceptor Utility. That makes for proficient fleet management due to shared parts and maintenance routines, such as when it comes to servicing the standard 3.7L V6 and available 3.5L EcoBoost V6. This applies to the brake pads, rotors, calipers and much more. Crucially, exact-spec components can also help keep downtime to a minimum.
