US police to get Robocop's car

Police in the USA will soon be tackling criminals with the same car used in the Hollywood film Robocop.

The Ford Taurus Interceptor will replace the US police's aging Crown Victoria cop cars, which is the first time the Taurus has been used other than in the Hollywood blockbuster.

Ford will build the new US cop car specifically for the police with a choice of 263- or 365bhp 3.5-litre V6 engines. Four-wheel drive will also be an option to help the new crime-buster on slippery roads.

I wasn't aware that this was anything new. Before I moved here to Michigan, the town i lived in used a few of these interceptors.

They sure are awesome looking. However, how much money is needed to give law enforcement an edge over speeders? I would've figured that previous cop cars would be fast enough to catch any normal speeder.

In Canada there was some trouble for the police when they sold their old vehicles to the public, and some of these cars caught fire when they were hit from the rear.

Hopefully these cars won't be sold to the unsuspecting public.
