The long-serving <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford/">Ford</a> Crown Victoria Police Interceptor will take its final bow this year, leaving behind a legacy of protecting and serving that outstrips even the legendary Chevrolet Caprice. To fill the void left by the stout-but-dated Crown Vic, Ford is releasing a fleet of new Police Interceptors, and they've got a legacy to uphold.<br />
<br />
Ahead of their launch, Dearborn pitted the new Interceptors against their competition from Dodge and Chevrolet, the Dodge Charger and the Chevrolet Tahoe. Ford is releasing 2011 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/explorer">Explorer</a> and 2011 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/taurus">Taurus</a> versions of the Interceptor, with the Explorer getting a 3.7-liter Ti-VCT V6 making 300 horsepower and the Taurus available with either a 3.5-liter 280-hp V6, or the 365 hp 3.5-liter EcoBoost mill from the SHO.<br />
<br />
Ford is offering the Interceptors in front or all-wheel drive guise, eschewing the Crown Vic's rear-drive-only platform. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/03/07/videos-ford-pits-police-interceptor-pair-against-the-competitio/#continued">Click past the jump</a> to see how Ford's efforts stack up to the competition.<br />
