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.
