High Tech, Diesel Police Cars Coming Soon

Purpose built for the job. [Link]

We can understand the interest. Each E7 will boast an impressive lise of features like 360-degree built-in police-duty LED lights, suicide rear doors with hose-out rear passenger compartment and a separate front compartment with high-tech touches like radar, LoJack, an automatic license plate recognition system, radiation and biological threat detectors and Carbon's exclusive On-board Rapid Command Architecture (ORCA), which features a large touch-screen display plus keyboard.

Perhaps the best bit of all is the aluminum-intensive space frame construction with composite body panels, which keeps weight down low enough that the 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine with 300 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque can propel the E7 to 60 in just 6.5 seconds and up to a top speed of 155 miles per hour. Fuel economy is pegged at 28-30 miles per gallon, which is well above what any current police vehicles are likely to achieve.
