The Tx7 Multi Mission Keeps Cops Safe from Criminals and Bomb Blasts

— December 18, 2012 — Autos
The TX7 Multi Mission Vehicle is easily the most fearsome police car ever created. Designed by Carbon Motors, the TX7 packs enough space for ten officers and enough armor to ensure safety in the event of a nuclear attack. Seriously.

The TX7 Multi Mission Vehicle is equipped with both thermal and infrared scanners and can be used in a variety of ways. Prisoner transport, SWAT team deployment and surveillance are just a few of the ways that Carbon Motors imagines its monster being used. The TX7 sports a V8 turbodiesel engine and comes equipped with all-wheel drive. A compressed natural gas version is also said to be in the works. Carbon Motors plans to put it into production this time year, and pricing is expected to be in the $150,000 range.
