2012 Ford Police Interceptor is officially official
This is 2012 Ford Police Interceptor based on the Taurus and is Blue Oval’s replacement for current Crown Victoria, which was officers’ choice since mid 90s. Previewed in Las Vegas, the vehicle is now officially official.
This new police Interceptor sedan will be offered in two V6 engine versions: a basic version and a high performance model for the highway patrol. The first version will be a standard 3.5-liter V6 Duratec engine with more than 263hp and E85 capability, which is more than the Crown Vic’s current anemic V8 and more than the standard Taurus V6.
The second powertrain will probably be an all wheel drive with a twin turbo Eco-boost 3.5-liter V6 that generates 365hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. And the vehicle has 90% of its interior redesigned to meet the needs of our special police customers.

World’s largest yacht matches the grandeur of kings
It’s the majestic size that matches the grandeur of kings and this is the reason why the world’s largest yacht belongs to Dubai. The 531-foot mega yacht is the largest private yacht in the world that belongs to the ruler of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Originally named Platinum 525, when the project was commissioned by Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei in 1996 but got stuck due to lack of funds. It was only after $300 million funding that the project was carried out again in 2001 and named Gold Star by the ruler of the Emirate of Dubai, and the Prime Minister of the UAE to jointly own the mega yacht. Equipped with three elevators serving all the decks, a large formal dining area, a variety of pools, hot tubs, sunbathing areas and a big swimming platform, the Gold Star also offers a variety of water sports activities along with air conditioning facility to combat the hot Dubai weather. But wait, there’s more! The yacht also has a squash room, spa, and is fitted with the obligatory mega yacht helicopter pad.
