Ford's new police vehicle doors can stop armour-piercing bullets

Forget technology, Ford has just upped the ante on armoured police vehicles which can now stop armour-piercing bullets.

Coming soon to Ford Interceptor sedans and SUV's, the doors are designed to stop a .30-calibre shot from a high-powered rifle. Crafted from ceramic tile, which breaks up the bullet and with a layer of Kevlar-like weave that can catch the shrapnel.

Previous versions of Ford's ballistic panels, which cost $1,500 per door,  could protect against handgun fire and non-armour piercing rounds, these upgrades level the playing field against tactical weapons and high-powered automatic handguns and rifles. Ford says the doors are strictly for law enforcement and will not be sold to non-police customers.
