Ford in the US has released its long awaited replacement for the Crown Victoria Police Interceptor.
The car, which is based on the current Taurus platform, promises to be more powerful and efficient than the outgoing V8 Crown Victoria.
There will be two V6 motors available — a 196kw standard version and a 272kw twin-turbo version for highway patrol cars.
The car will have heavy-duty curtain airbags and a body reinforced to withstand a 120km/h rear-end hit and keep going.

Nice to see the use of kilowatt instead of horsepower.

“The car will have heavy-duty curtain airbags and a body reinforced to withstand a 120km/h rear-end hit and keep going.”
Yet when we civies get clobbered from behind at 120kmph, we die, accordionized (new word).

It’s not a foreign car, it’s a foreign article (Australia).

The problem with the old Crown Vics was the bursting into flames thing when struck from behind.
