Iconic police cars
Carbon E7
This is the car that was "designed by cops for cops", and with a 0-60 of 6.5 seconds and the ability to withstand a 75mph impact, we're guessing it wasn't the technical advisors of 'Midsomer Murders' who came up with the concept.
In fact, this 34,000 turbo diesel built by the Carbon Motors Corp will only be swerving and protecting on US highways for the time being. It is the first purpose built police car ever made, so naturally it comes with two cup holders in the front.
Jumping back across the pond, let's investigate the publicly available wheels that British police adopted in their pursuit of crime, from cramped Mini Coopers to criminally cool MG convertibles.
