Ford Interceptor Concept Holds the Future Designs of Ford

The Ford Interceptor is a new concept car which debuted at the 2007 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan. It is a retro-styled sedan which promises to satisfy any performance lover everywhere. Freeman Thomas, director, North American Strategic Design said “These people might need more space, but they still appreciate the power and attitude that cars like this represent.”

There are two things that make the Interceptor immense; the way it looks and the way it drives.
Under the hood is a 400 horsepower 5.0-liter V-8 Cammer engine, capable of running on E-85 ethanol. Said engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission, operated via a sexy, Ferrari-style gated shifter.

The new Interceptor concept might somehow look familiar, it copies the design language of last year's concept pickup truck, the F-250 Super Chief. Prevailing features consist of Ford's three-bar grille and rectangle headlamps below a flat clamshell hood. A little further back, it includes chrome fender vents, an exaggerated waistline, a narrow, chrome-trimmed greenhouse and huge wheels to accentuate its chopped, mob-boss profile.

Personally, I like the looks of that car! This should be a top seller; the sooner they get it produced, the better. Ford can really make a good product when they try hard enough

What’s disappointing is that the Interceptor will probably stay as a design concept as an inspiration for future production models. Ford may also not come up with the cash to develop the Interceptor into production due to a tough financial crisis.
