BRASELTON — Carbon Motors, an Atlanta-based corporation, announced Wednesday it has received more than 10,000 reservations for its high-tech law enforcement vehicle.

The company plans to announce this summer where it will base its company and manufacture the Carbon E7, whose expected release date is sometime in 2012.

Braselton remains a top contender, along with sites in Indiana, Michigan, North Carolina and South Carolina.

During a showcase earlier this year at Chateau Elan, Carbon Motors CEO William Santana Li said several factors led to Braselton being named a possible candidate. Easy access to key automotive suppliers, the town’s proximity to Atlanta and support from the community and local political leaders all played a part, he said.

Wherever the corporation decides to relocate, co-founder Stacy Dean Stephens said it will bring jobs to that area.

The futuristic cruiser, described by the corporation as "the world’s first purpose-built law enforcement patrol vehicle," includes a plethora of impressive gadgets.

Among the cruisers features are voice control, night vision cameras, radiation-detecting air ducts, an automatic license plate recognition system and the capability to reach a top speed of 155 miles per hour.

With a 250,000-mile life expectancy, the car also includes a 15-inch touch screen that allows the driver to control everything in the vehicle and the backseat has video and audio surveillance. "It’s the world’s first purpose-built law enforcement vehicle from the ground-up, bumper to bumper," Li said.

It took Carbon Motors six years to develop the multimillion-dollar prototype.

While the E7 won’t cost several million dollars, co-founder Stephens said final pricing for the E7 will not be announced until the corporation moves into its new location.
