If recent reports are to be believed we may be seeing a police cruiser based on the late and great Pontiac G8 get unveiled at some point on Monday, October 5th. Make note that back in April we told you that GM would be killing off the Pontiac brand by 2011 but perhaps one of its models will live on.

The reason we point to Monday as its assumed release is because that is when the International Association of Chiefs of Police convention will go down in Denver, CO.

Of course, GM hasn’t actually said that this new cop car would be based on the G8 so until they do we will stamp this as a rumor.

You remember that diesel-powered cop car we told you about back in February? The one that looks ridiculously mean and is built by Carbon Motors?

Well, word has recently gotten out that to date Carbon Motors has received a none-too-modest 10,000 for its diesel-powered E7 police car. The car will go into production in 2012 so there is no telling on exactly when we will be seeing it on the streets.

Just a quick breakdown of those car for those who weren’t paying attention, it will feature a 3.0L turbocharged diesel engine capable of 300 HP and 420 pounds of torque. All of this will make for a 0-60 of 6.5 seconds while recieved an MPG of 28-30 MPG. Look out bad guys, the E7 ain’t your grandmother’s police car.
