Conceived as a hot-rod version of a grandpa car, the 2003 Marauder looks the part but could use another 50 horsepower. Or maybe more.
Lest there be any confusion, the 2003 Mercury Marauder only smokes the tires if the driver is demonstrating brakestand prowess.
Those Alcoa wheels aren't chrome. They're just shiny.
The dark trim extends to the cop-issue taillights borrowed from the Crown Vic.
A console shifter shows the Marauder means business, but it would've been fun to offer a front bench seat.
The DOHC 4.6-liter V-8 makes 302 horsepower. Which is... okay.
With the name molded into the bumper, you don't have to worry about letters falling off and onlookers asking about your Ruder.

This 1964 Mercury Park Lane Marauder sports a 7.0-liter V-8 rated at a possibly optimistic 425 horsepower.
