The Technology

The new Ford Interceptor has many new features which Ford designed specifically for this concept. 

The first feature, also probably the most obvious, is the new push bar.  This push bar was specially designed in order to protect the police interceptor as well as other cars.

On the top of the interceptor, the light bar has some new features.  The light bar now features settings for all types of weather including sunny, snow, and foggy conditions. 

Also on the light bar is the new Nighteye CCD cameras.  These cameras are designed to work in low-light conditions in order to improve visibility in the immediate vicinity of the interceptor.

Probably the most significant feature this concept has is the accident data recorder.  This is similar to the black box found on commercial airliners.  This box will record data from a crash in order to help with investigation.

There is also a better communications system enabling officers to communicate between each other from 500 - 3000 meters away without going through dispatch.

The engine used in this concept has been reworked now with an estimated 300 horsepower and 300 pound feet of torque, a significant increase over the 235 horsepower engines most recently used.

The final feature on this concept are specially tailored seats designed specifically for a police officer.  These seats are more comfortable, providing they compensate for the utility belts the officers wear, and also are more safe for the officer.
