Ford to Reveal Brand-New Police Interceptor in 2010 to Replace the Crown Victoria

Being the nation's largest provider of police and municipal vehicles with around 45,000 police cars sales every year, Ford wasn't about to let General Motors and its new 2011 Chevy Caprice patrol vehicle to get a piece of the pie without a fight. Today, the Blue Oval company announced that it will introduce an all-new, purpose built Police Interceptor specially designed and engineered to replace the current Ford Crown Victoria law enforcement vehicle lineup from 2011.

We don't have any pictures of the car (the vehicle featured here is a Carscoop photoshop based on Ford's 2006 Interceptor Concept) nor on which model it will be based, but the Detroit automaker said that the new Police Interceptor is being developed in conjunction with Ford's Police Advisory Board, which provided input during the past 14 months on key vehicle attributes, such as safety, performance, durability, driver convenience and comfort.

"We have heard the repeated requests from the law enforcement community to continue uninterrupted support of the law enforcement community," said Mark Fields, Ford's president of The Americas. "Ford is answering the call with the new Police Interceptor – engineered and built in America."

Ford said that it plans to reveal the new Interceptor and provide full vehicle specifications sometime during the first quarter of 2010.
