Police departments are being offered a new engine option when buying a Ford Taurus-based interceptor from Ford. It’s the same 3.7-liter V6 that’s already available with the Explorer-based Police Interceptor SUV.
This is the third engine available to the Taurus, sitting between the the 285 hp 3.5-liter V6 and the 365 EcoBoost turbo V6.
The new V6 engine is a twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT) unit and comes with the promise of 25 mpg highway and 18 mpg city (EPA-rated).
"The horsepower and torque ratings are the highest of any naturally aspirated V6 engine offered for pursuit-rated sedans," Ford says.
“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,” said Bill Gubing, chief engineer for Police Interceptor.
