10,000 orders for the Carbon Motors E7
The Carbon Motors E7 is said to be the world’s first purpose-built law enforcement car and they’ve claims to have already received 10,000 reservations. And this is even before they’re announced how much it will be priced nad where they will build it! The first E7 is expected to roll off the production line in 2012.
Many car manufacturers prepare special police editions of their cars, such as the recently published Jaguar XF Diesel S pursuit vehicle, but the fact is all the police equipment have to be retrofitted. The E7 has all of it built-in. It has an impressive spec list – night vision, backseat monitoring, voice control, automatic license plate recognition, and a 15 inch touch screen monitor for various controls.
The powertrain is a 3.0 liter turbodiesel putting out 300 horsepower, driven through a 6-speed automatic transmission. 0 to 100km/h can be hit in 6.5 seconds.

Wow! Such a nice car… When PDRM will have it?

Don Cha???

oopss… its a turbo diesel… which probably not supported by msia’s diesel… sori to msia patrol car… use back waja… :p
June 15, 2009 @ 4:13 am
but i do get a sense of Robocop with the seats and dashboard design…

Thats impressive rear seat room. Since when they considered rear pass. comfort..LOL. Even the old hugh Ford Crown Victoria cruisers have almost 0 leg room.
I spent an hour inside one escaping the dead of winter after having a crash.
Looks very chrysler though. Like the Dodge Magnums used by the K9 units.
I could see how this would make sense. Police forces routinely spend more than the value of the car itself retrofitting police gear. Having the lightbar integrated improves aerodynamics and fuel consumption.

The guy who designed this car could have been one of those Decepticons in disguise…

It is sad that our police office ride in stock Proton Waja with no enhancement at all… only a police radio has been installed.. and, that’s it..

June 15, 2009 @ 7:38 pm
Malaysian Police Patrol car cannot have video camera installed like the american police car. if got camera, the police cannot take duit kopi as they will be recorded….
June 15, 2009 @ 8:24 pm

June 15, 2009 @ 8:49 pm

the no.5 side profile have that small windows at the rear back, same like waja, but the no.4 car doesnt have that..rear lamp from side profile pun lain..
June 17, 2009 @ 10:35 pm
That’s why i said they dengki at Waja’s design…
