Carbon Motors is making a new pursuit car made of aluminum and powered by BMW's X5 3 liter turbo diesel I-6. Giving the E7 a COMBINED fuel economy of 28+ mpg, 150+ mph top speed, and 0-60 in 6.5 sec. performance.

Unless law enforcement practices have changed, helf of the engine's running time will be at idle, how is that going to fit into the fuel economy? Or are they going to start and stop the engines like the UPS man?
Either way.
HOT!
Maybe 10 years from now you could start picking these up for cheap. I would make it my chubby car.

The would make a very nice DD

Am I the only one who thinks that police departments should be mandated to use the same car throughout the entire country (like it was in the olden years)? It would cut costs significantly (and make them easier to spot, I admit, haha).

That thing is cool looking.
