This is no everyday police-package Ford Crown Victoria or Chevrolet Impala. The 2012 Carbon E7 is new from the ground up, engineered and equipped to enhance comfort, effectiveness and personal safety for America's 800,000 law-enforcement officers. And though it's a way-cool machine with undoubted consumer appeal, the E7 will never be sold to the public, new or used.
This police car with a turbo diesel engine producing 300 horsepower with a top speed of155mph (249kph). Faster, more economical and longer lasting than current cop cars, but it's what inside that really counts; the E7 has been designed around the police officers specific needs.
But the current cruisers, modified versions of civilian cars, are far from ideal for police use. The necessary additions such as - radios, computers, camera and other gadgets are often get added with little to no thought or testing to how they'll perform in a crash, often becoming lethal projectiles in an impact. Seats aren't built for 8-hour-long shift, controls aren't created with control in mind, communications and computer equipment gets spec's for cost, not capability. But the E7 integrates all its features neatly into a cohesive package, check out the feature below for more.
