Carbon Motors Corporation is a new American automaker based in Atlanta, Georgia, dedicated to developing the world’s first purpose-built law enforcement patrol vehicle.
Improvements in an officer’s operational effectiveness and vehicle safety will be achieved through the development of a fully integrated cockpit, coach rear doors for safer insertion/removal of suspects, and improved visibility using 360° video surveillance. The improved safety features of the vehicle will include an aluminum spaceframe, an interior that complies with all federal regulations (with emergency equipment installed), as well as ballistic protection in the front doors and dash panel.
The vehicle will be powered by a 300hp clean diesel engine (capable of running on bio-diesel) and a 6-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels, yielding a 0 - 60 time of 6.5 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph. All of this will be accomplished while still delivering a greater than 30% improvement in fuel economy. And since total cost of ownership is of the utmost importance, Carbon is engineering the entire vehicle with a useful life target of 250,000 miles.
