The Ford Crown Victoria was a beloved model, one of the last full-size, body-on-frame, V8-powered American sedans in existence. That fascination continues today, years after the Crown Victoria was ultimately discontinued, and we still see quite a few cool, modified examples out there on a regular basis. These particular NASCAR-inspired Crown Vic renderings don’t depict a real car, but they’ve got us convinced that it needs to be.
This sweet bunch of artwork comes to us from Abimelec Design, who we’ve featured several times in the past, mostly because he comes up with some of the coolest ideas around. This Crown Vic certainly fits in that category, with its cut-up fenders making room for a set of steelie wheels and massive Goodyear Eagle slicks.
There’s also a full cage inside the car, as we’d expect from a track-inspired rig. Otherwise, a rear trunk spoiler is basically the only external modification. Unless you can call the spotlight, a fixture on the Police Interceptor version of these cars, a mod. However, what lies under the removable hood is anything but stock.
Lurking in the big sedan’s engine bay lies a Ford 5.0L Coyote V8, which is not stock, but rather fitted with a Procharger. As far as output goes, well, we can certainly use our imaginations here. Regardless, the underhood area looks incredibly tidy, as is usually the case with these renderings, and we’re digging the simple but effective looking build.
It’s almost enough to make us want to go out and secure a cheap, used Crown Vic PI and recreate this ourselves. Outside of the drivetrain, it certainly wouldn’t cost much to replicate. And when we’re done, we’d have one of the cooler-looking race cars in town, for sure.
We’ll have more cool renderings like this to share soon, so be sure and subscribe to Ford Authority for more Crown Victoria news and ongoing Ford news coverage.

I love steel rims. Would probably go black on them though, and a little smaller rim/taller tire to match the real thing better. And I think shaved door handles and taking off the side molding would help streamline the side of the car. Always kinda liked these cars, classic huge sedan with bench seats, column shifter, rwd, and a V8
Y’all are a little late to the party. Cleetus McFarland & his team have already built just such a beast. He calls it ‘Neighbor’. It boasts 4 racing seats with complete racing sea harnesses and a complete roll cage. A transplanted, blown Coyote engine, manual transmission and driveline make this beast one of the baddest drift cars y’all are likely to encounter. They have to replace the Nitto tires after about every 3rd run. The beast sounds incredible! Hearing protection highly recommended.
That car was running a last-gen GT500 5.4L V8
How is a rendering packing an engine? Also why does it matter what imaginary motor swap an imaginary drawing has?
Well, as you can see, there is an engine in there. And believe it or not, there are people who appreciate “imaginary” drawings like this.
