The 2008 Crown Victoria Police
Interceptor FFV offers a 250-hp. V8 powerplant designed to run on
E85 (blend of up to 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline), regular
gasoline, or a blend of both. Onboard sensors and computers monitor
the fuel mixture to optimize performance. Ethanol boasts one of the
highest octane ratings of any transportation fuel; cleaner fuel
lines and injectors than gasoline; reduced fuel-line freeze-up due
to moisture-absorbing capability; safety in storage, transport, and
refueling because it is less flammable than gasoline; and reduction
in pollution and use of foreign oil. Standard features include:
hydroformed steel body-on-frame construction; side-intrusion door
beams; tire-pressure monitoring system; dual-stage front airbags
and outboard-front safety belts; 200-amp. alternator;
speed-sensitive steering; rear-wheel drive; anti-lock brakes;
full-size spare tire and wheel; coolers for engine, power steering,
and transmission oil; and 5-yr., 60,000-mi. powertrain warranty.
Options include factory-installed ballistic door panels; chemical
fire suppression system; all-speed traction control, front-seat
side airbags; and remote keyless entry. Awarded the 5-Star crash
test safety rating from NHTSA. Also met 75-m.p.h. rear-end crash
tests without fuel-tank puncture. Earns EPAct credits for fleet
purchases. Ford Motor Co.,
