Carbon Motors reservations hits 10,000
If you don’t know what Carbon Motors is, its the first car company that designs and manufactures police cars right off the production line. Everything a police officer needs is built right in, including an all digital touchscreen that takes the image from the license plate from the car in front of it and scans it into the system. Its all voice activated to call in codes back to the police station. All the lights are integrated into the build of the car instead of drilling into the top of the car, which can slow down its speed. The engine will be a 300 hp diesel which will be more fuel efficient and a lot faster than the cars they use now. Hit the clicky thingie to read more…
At this years police convention the E7 was introduced – it can go 0-60 in 6.5 seconds! As a whole this car is made for the daily use of the police, with all the stopping and starting that wears heavily on the engine. This car handles it like a champ: It’s meant to be driven 250,000 miles and is sure to change the future of the police department (and hopefully save a lot more lives in the process).

That thing’s pretty bad-ass looking. Very cool vertical bumpers up front there. But I’m surprised that it features suicide doors…something that most concepts lose when they go to production.
But let’s face it: The best thing about this thing is that if it’s really as good as it seems, and enough PDs start buying them, it’ll make it that much easier for those of us who, shall we say, accidentally exert a wee bit too much pressure on the ol’ gas pedal to spot a police car in another city or state.
That may seem like a silly thing to say given that it’s not exactly unmarked, but think about it: Currently, a dead giveaway from a distance is the light rack on top. Without that…
The one thing that’s a bit goofy? Their logo looks an awful lot like Renault’s.

well from the video it looks like the suicide doors are for protection from the front and the rear in a gun fight. It kinda resembles the new Charger or a Galant.
