2020 Ford Crown Victoria revealed - shown in the top-of-the-line, 7.0-liter GT7 form. Capable of 220 miles per hour as top speed and 0-60 miles per hour in 3.8 seconds. Unlike its rivals, the 591+rwhp sleeper has NO USE of forced induction of any kind.



The S650 (6th Gen) Mustang will ride on a shorter wheelbase version of the upcoming, unibody Panther II platform that the Crown Vic and Town Car successors will use

Ford is switching back from EcoBoost to the high performance, n.a. 5.0L and 7.0L V8 for the Crown Vic, but the Police Interceptor and the Town Car will continue to use the 3.5L EcoBoost V6.

The Ford Crown Victoria will start at $30,000 for the lone 2.7-liter inline-6 model, up to $100,000 for the GT7 Limited.

The luxury trim levels of the Crown Vic include:
*Premium: $6,750 addition to base trim
*Thunderstorm: $5,000 addition to Premium
*Grand Marquis: $10,000 addition to Thunderstorm (must skip to Limited for all V8 models)
*Limited: $25,000 addition to Grand Marquis and $30,000 addition to Thunderstorm

The engine and trim options for 2020 include:
Base, S, SE, and SEL
2.7-liter I6, gas, 252 hp and 193 lb-ft
1.0-liter I3, diesel, 156 hp and 327 lb-ft
Hybrid
3.7-liter I6, hybrid, 383 hp and 268 lb-ft
Sport
2.3-liter I4, gas, 300 hp and 400 lb-ft (turbocharged)
3.0-liter I6, gas, 393 hp and 516 lb-ft (supercharged and turbocharged)
ST
4.0-liter V8, gas, 503 hp and 516 lb-ft (biturbo)
GT5 (low-volume model)
5.0-liter V8, gas, 505 hp and 420 lb-ft
GT7 (low-volume model)
7.0-liter V8, gas, xxx hp and xxx lb-ft

The major differences between the ST and the GT5 are that the ST is a high-volume model and that the GT5 doesn't use a turbocharger. The similarities between these two models are that both produce over 500 horsepower and have V8 engines.

Ford expects that the majority of performance-car enthusiasts will buy the Sport and the ST, rather than the M5-rivaling GT5 and GT7 models which have bigger brakes and better tires.

The GT7 is slated to take on the baddest sedans and top at least 220 miles per hour, or 354 kilometers per hour. That is Lamborghini Aventador and Ferrari 812 territory!

Ford is also planning an even more powerful version than the GT7 for 2021-22.

Ford plans to beat the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat's top speed record with the naturally aspirated luxury muscle car. Compared to the Charger, the Crown Vic has a very sleek aero, producing a drag coefficient rating of 0.29 Cd and a frontal area of 25.0 square feet (whereas the Charger produces 0.304 to 0.335 Cd and 25.8 to 26.2 sq. ft., respectively). The GT7 is the ultimate-performance version of the Ford Crown Victoria, using a smaller, 7.0-liter version of the 7.3-liter Godzilla 7X used in the F-Series Super Duty. It produces more than 590 rear-wheel horsepower and 550 rear-wheel lb-ft of torque. Those numbers are to the WHEELS instead of to the crank!

The GT5 uses the 5.0-liter Coyote found in the Ford Mustang GT and Bullitt, but produces 505 horsepower (versus 460 to 480 for the Mustang) to maintain performance with its porky curb weight. Torque remains at 420 lb-ft.
The ST is similar to the GT5, but uses a twin-turbo, 4.0-liter EcoBoost V8 with 503 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. Those are exactly comparable numbers to the Mercedes-AMG C63 S Sedan.

 

But when the 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 arrives, it will be the first full production vehicle from the Motor Company to feature 3D-printed braking components.
