The Meteor Interceptor

The Meteor Interceptor

The Meteor Project is all about the dream to put a very large engine into a car. The car is a Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor 2006 and the engine is a Rolls Royce Meteor V12 with a displacement of 27 litres (1.649 cui). The Meteor is a very close relative to the Merlin engine that could be found in the Spitfire fighter aircraft.

Here you can follow this project with videos from the actual build. You will also find posts from other similar projects that we visit to find inspiration and knowledge for this project. And please make sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram as well. #themeteorinterceptor

    6:13 I can't even imagine how hard he must've had to fight the car to keep it going in a straight line with that much torque

    The Meteor almost makes 2.000 Nm of torque - no wonder the gearbox has problems managing it ^^

    Tank engine for a tank of a car very cool. Never seen a build like this before. Other then a v12 Miata or something but no tank engine.

    I used to follow this build… I did for many years, but it just got too boring. NEVER any real updates or progress it seems. Never seen the car do anything other than idle.

    For an engine like that, a Lenco LencoDrive automatic would have been a better choice than the TH400.

    I heard Jay Leno mentioned one of his builds did something similar mounted to a box and at like half power it broke the gears I should find the clip and outstanding thanks for reaching out to tell me this was possible!!!

    Thank you guys for that welcome comeback! Awesome what you've done with that artwork since last year. Seems to be nearly complete now ❤ Love that low-rev torque monster so much! What does it rev, 3000rpm? Greets from Germany ❤

    I was trying to figure out what the HUGE naca duct on the roof was for... then I looked at your other videos... ABSOLUTELY HUGE RADIATORS!!! in the rear deck! As a 1st generation american and my Dad was from Goteborg, I salute y'all... I wish I spoke more Swedish!

    Consider getting a replica GCC grille -- it will look so much better on the Meteor Interceptor. It's available on eBay and I have one on my car for the upcoming car show season.
