Carbon Motors E7 Police Car

Άλλη μια αμιγώς αμερικάνικη brand, η Carbon Motors, ανακοίνωσε ότι σε μερικούς μήνες (και εφόσον εγκριθεί το δάνειο των 350.000.000$ από την Ομοσπονδιακή Τράπεζα της Αμερικής) θα προχωρήσει στην παραγωγή του Ε7, που εδώ και καιρό έχει ξεκινήσει να "διαφημίζει" σε όλες τις πολιτείες με επιτυχημένο τρόπο (έχουν παράγει ήδη το πρωτότυπο), με τις τελευταίες να δείχνουν ενδιαφέρον. Η θετική ανταπόκριση έχει προκύψει γιατί η Carbon Motors σχεδίασε και υλοποίησε το εν λόγω όχημα βάσει των αυστηρών προδιαγραφών του σώματος ασφαλείας που ισχύουν στην Αμερική. έτσι δεν πρόκειται για ένα συμβατικό όχημα με αλλαγές, αλλά εν τη γενέση παραγωγή τροποποιημένου οχήματος.
Θα φέρει 6-κύλινδρο diesel κινητήρα της BMW με διπλό τούρμπο.
