2001 Mercury Grand Marquis

The Mercury Grand Marquis has certainly done away with the flashy, sleek style that is so common among most modern cars today. It has poured into the practical needs of its motorists what it fails to do in its design. Though this is not to say that the Grand Marquis is not physically attractive, on the other hand it exudes an old school aura as it has maintained the classic beauty and style of the sedans we grew up with.

The 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis comes in two trim levels, the GS and the LS. Both are driven by a 4.6-liter V8 matched to a 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission. This engine has been retuned and reengineered to produce a more torquey sedan, the Grand Marquis is now capable of producing 220 horsepower at 4750 rpm, and 265 pound-feet of torque at 4000 rpm with the single exhaust system and 235 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque with the optional dual exhaust. With its awesome engine and comfy interior, the Grand Marquis is a pleasure to ride. It is smooth and handles tough roads well, and is stable even at high speeds. The enhanced suspension allows for a less bumpy ride even at the roughest roads.
