With the retirement of the Ford Crown Victoria, the market for police vehicles was suddenly wide open for GM and Chrysler to move in. But Ford wasn’t about to just give up a market they had dominated for decades, and it came out swinging with the new Taurus-based Police Interceptor with an available 365 horsepower twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 engine under the hood.

With GM and Chrysler both still vying for a slice of the police car market, Ford has sought to continuously-improve its Police Interceptor, and the latest improvements will have you seeing red-and-blue in your rearview. Ford claims that the 3.5 liter EcoBoost-powered Police Interceptor is the fastest police car in both 0 to 60 and 0 to 100 speed tests.

Despite having two-fewer cylinders, the Ford Police Interceptor posted a best-of 0 to 60 mph time of just 5.56 seconds, 0.3 seconds faster than either of the V8-powered competitors. Ford also beat the Chevy Caprices and Dodge Charger in 0 to 100 mph acceleration, taking just 13.5 seconds to reach triple digits. Comparatively, the Caprice took 14.35 seconds, and the Charger 14.57 seconds, a significant gap if you ask us.

The Taurus-based Interceptor isn’t the only Ford making waves though. The Explorer-based Police Interceptor with the 3.5 liter EcoBoost also out-accelerated the V8-powered Chevy Tahoe, going from 0 to 60 mph in 6.28 seconds compared to the Chevy’s 8.22. It also took the Ford just 15.51 seconds for the Explorer to reach 100 mph, compared to an agonizingly-slow 21.95 seconds for the Chevy.

Who ultimately gets crowned king of the cop cars is still up in the air, all we know is it just got a whole lot harder to run from the police.
