Ford Interceptor Concept

Oh yeah …I can see myself pushin’ this “Miracle Whip” down the Ave!  Ford has a long standing legacy of bold muscle cars, and is now introducing a modern, all-American sedan concept that combines ''Built Ford Tough'' attitude with the sporty elegance of its iconic 1960s sedans. The Ford Interceptor concept comes equipped with a manual six-speed gearbox mated to a Ford Racing 5.0-liter V-8 Cammer engine, which is a is a descendant of the SVT Mustang Cobra 4.6-liter engine family and it delivers 400 horsepower and runs on E-85 ethanol.

The Ford Interceptor concept’s exterior design features the sexiest curves and sections to give the concept its modern, powerful look. The Mustang-based concept features a traditional rear-wheel drive proportion that includes a short front overhang, long rear overhang and extended dash-to-axle ratio. The Ford Interceptor also has a low cabin and higher beltline, adding to the vehicle’s attitude and sense of mystery.

And for all of you "real drivers" who need raw Horse Power everytime you throw that stick, the ultimate muscle lies under the powered clamshell ''shaker'' hood, which caps a thoroughly detailed engine compartment that houses the 5.0-liter V-8 Cammer engine. This is an upgraded variant of the 4.6-liter engine under the hood of the current production Mustang GT. The Cammer modular engine powered Ford Racing’s FR500C race car to the top of the Grand Am Cup’s GS class, achieving five victories on its way to the Drivers, Manufacturers and Team Championships in its first season of competition. The car, equipped with 22-inch wheels, also features a solid rear axle for more hard-core performance feel.
