Carbon Motors E7 police car - Click above fore high-res image gallery


In its latest newsletter update, Carbon Motors has revealed that it's received over 14,000 reservations from over 400 police agencies for its new purpose built E7 police car. However, it's best to bear in mind those are just reservations for slots in the production schedule. As of yet, no one has placed a firm order for the E7 because Carbon hasn't even announced pricing. While the concept of a vehicle built specifically to meet the needs of police forces certainly sounds good on paper, the E7 will undoubtedly be expensive.



Besides using plenty of bespoke hardware that won't benefit from economies of scale, it will be powered by a BMW 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine - a phenomenal engine and much more fuel efficient than anything else currently available in the police market, but coming from Munich will certainly elevate the price.



It will be very interesting to see how many reservations get turned into firm orders once pricing is announced. Make the jump for the full details.
