A "high-performance" version of the Grand Marquis sold for the 2003 and 2004 model years. The Marauder produced 302 horsepower, 78 more than the Grand Marquis's 224. The Marauder also sat only five passengers and had bucket-style front seats (the Grand Marquis seats six and has a bench seat in the front). Other than that, the Mercury Marauder and Grand Marquis have very few differences between them. A convertible Mercury Marauder concept was produced, but never marketed.
It's no wonder that the Mercury Marauder was never a big success. They should have gone ahead with the convertible concept.
