Max Rockatanskys powerful 'black-painted muscle car is a modified Pursuit Special, a Ford Falcon XB GT coupe with a V8 engine that the police forces customized for use as a police Pursuit Special in the first Mad Max film. The car is depicted with a supercharger protruding through the hood which can be toggled on and off, and its black body is scarred and scratched from Max's journeys in the wasteland. The precious contents of the Pursuit Special's petrol tanks are protected from thieves with an explosive "booby trap" and a sheathed knife is hidden on the underbody of the vehicle. The Pursuit Special is the fictional model of car driven by Max Rockatansky, the main character of the films Mad Max and Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. It is a 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT coupe customized to become a police interceptor of the Main Force Patrol. The same car was used in both films. The vehicle is also known erroneously as The Interceptor due to The Mechanic describing it as "the last of the V-8 interceptors" in Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.
