On the LX Premium Sport Handling and Performance Package, the free-flowing dual exhaust system increases engine output to 239 horsepower at 4,900 rpm and 287 pound-feet of torque at 4,100 rpm.

All Crown Victoria models use an electronically controlled four-speed automatic overdrive transmission and electronic throttle control.


Crown Victoria 2007 Safety and Security

Since 1996, Crown Victoria has earned the U.S. government's highest, five-star crash-test rating for driver and passenger frontal crashes. Major contributors to Crown Victoria's safety performance are a robust frame design, a large crumple zone and Ford Motor Company's Personal Safety System.

Seat-mounted side air bags for the front outboard seats are an available option.

Other safety features include Beltminder, child safety locks on the rear doors, Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH), SmartLock and a glow-in-the-dark internal trunk release handle.

Laminated front side glass is available to provide extra security against smash-and-grab break-ins and thefts. It also reduces road and wind noise, improves protection from flying glass in a collision and filters out most of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, thus reducing heat buildup and interior fading.
