“The Ford Interceptor concept has the soul of Mustang but combines ‘Built Ford Tough’ attitude with the sporty elegance of ’60s Ford sedans,” said Peter Horbury, executive director, Design, The Americas.
Exterior design elements, feature substantial, sometimes brutish, surfaces and sections and the traditional rear-wheel drive proportion that includes a short front overhang, extended dash-to-axle ratio, low cabin and higher beltline.
As a nod to performance purists, the ultimate muscle lies under the powered clamshell “shaker” hood, which caps a thoroughly detailed engine compartment.
Making this a Ford are signature design touches, including the horizontal three-bar grille that is structurally integrated into the bumper beam as well as professionally applied “squircles” – or professionally square circles – inside and out.
The concept’s minimalist interior is sleek, focusing the driver’s attention on the speedometer and tachometer, whose needles start at center and move opposite each other.
The audio control panel and climate controls are hidden – but deployable. And the gated six-speed shifter is exposed, just waiting to be thrown into gear.

Back in the sixties your were one top this car would be great as the next crown victoria it would be cool and americans would be happy again it would also be great if you made a version for lincoln and mercury I would really like it if you made this beautiful beast.

Because everyone that see this car will want to own one
IM SICK AND TIRED OF THIS CRAP YOU SHOVE DOWN OUR THROATS THAT COULDNT OUTRUN A SNAIL AND LOOKS ABOUT AS APPATIZING AS A CRAP SANDWICH!
YOU WOULD THINK TOYOTA OVERTAKING YOU WOULD'VE LIT A FIRE UNDER YOUR COLLECTIVE ASSES, BUT NOT WITHASTANDING THE MUSTANG, IT HASNT. IF YOU DONT BUILD THIS, IT WILL JUST REINFORCE MY THINKING THAT FOR IS DEAD! I DRIVE MY VINTAGE FORDS WHICH INCLUDE A '62 GALAXIE 500, '64 FAIRLANE 2DR SEDAN, '64 FAIRLANE 2DR HRDTP; '64 FALCON SPRINT, AND A '66 MUSTANG 289 HRDTP. I WILL NEVER GET RID OF THESE CARS, BUT IT DOES MAKE ME VERY SAD THAT FORD IS NOT AT THE TOP OF THE GAME LIKE THEY USED TO BE. SEE, ALL THE CARS I HAVE LISTED HAVE ANOTHER THING GOIN FOR THEM OTHER THAN HORSEPOWER.....CLASS!
OTHER THAN THE NEW MUSTANG, EVERYTHING ELSE YOU BUILD IS UGLY. ITS NO WONDER YOU ARE NOW #3 IN THE U.S.!!!!!!! #3?? ARE YOU HAPPY WITH #3?? IT SURE SEEMS LIKE IT! THIS INTERCEPTOR IS BEAUTIFUL!! BUT HAVIN SAID THAT, THIS CAR IS LOOSELY BASED ON THE 427 CONCEPT FROM ABOUT WHAT? 5-6 YEARS AGO??? CHRYSLER ALREADY BUILT THEIR VERSION (READ: RIPOFF) OF IT AND IT HAS DONE PRETTY WELL. BUT YET AGAIN, FORD IS LATE TO THE PARTY. SAD.
WHY CANT YOU PEOPLE REDESIGN YOUR CARS TO HAVE CLASS?? I.E.- FOCUS, TAURUS, CROWN VIC, ETC. IN MY OPINION, OUTSIDE OF THE MUSTANG, THE BEST LOOKIN VEHICLE IS THE FLEX! AT LEAST IT STANDS OUT FROM THE REST OF THE MUNDANE JUNK BEING PUMPED OUT OF YOUR FACTORIES! YOU PROBABLY WOULDNT BE POSTING HUGE LOSSES IF THE CARS LOOKED BETTER.
