The company reportedly asked for input from nearly 2000 police officers in a bid to make the car “cop friendly”. <img src="http://thechive.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/carbon-e7-cop-police-car-27.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Carbon Motors said there would need to be 20,000 E7s among the current 240,000-strong US police vehicle force for the car to be economically viable. <img src="http://thechive.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/carbon-e7-cop-police-car-261.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> If the prototype gets the greenlight, the car is set to go into production from 2012. <img src="http://thechive.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/carbon-e7-cop-police-car-251.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> “There certainly is opportunity for niche vehicle manufacturers nowadays unlike any time since the beginning of the auto industry,” car expert Brett Smith said to ABC. <img src="http://thechive.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/carbon-e7-cop-police-car-241.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> “You could easily get a big boy in there,” said police officer Matt Garrison after observing the rear door access. <img src="http://thechive.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/carbon-e7-cop-police-car-331.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The front seat was made to resemble a “helicopter-style cockpit”, the company said. <img src="http://thechive.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/carbon-e7-cop-police-car-321.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> “There certainly is opportunity for niche vehicle manufacturers nowadays unlike any time since the beginning of the auto industry,” car expert Brett Smith said to ABC. <img src="http://thechive.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/carbon-e7-cop-police-car-311.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> “I can’t decide if this car makes me dislike cops more or less.” said owner of TheChive.com, Leo Resig. <img src="http://thechive.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/carbon-e7-cop-police-car-231.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The intriguing Carbon Motors E7, is so-called “purpose built” police car that can run on biodiesel and has such features as integrated shotgun mounts, a driver-specific intelligent key and a “hose-able rear passenger compartment.” This vehicle is built specifically for police work only, compared to retrofitted civilian-to-police cars such as the Dodge Charger, Ford Crown Victoria or Chevy Impala. “It should be illegal to impersonate a police car,” says the sales brochure, which also describes the E7 as “a new brand of justice.” The Carbon E7, which is on a nationwide rollout, is powered by a 3.0-liter diesel that churns out 300 horsepower and delivers 420 pound-feet of torque. The engine is linked to a six-speed automatic transmission. The E7 rides on a 122-inch wheelbase and has a curb weight of 4,000 pounds. Its makers say it sprints from zero to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds and has a top speed of 155 mph. It also boasts a 75-mph rear impact crash capability. Carbon Motors said detailed pricing on the E7 will be announced in a few months. </blockquote>
