Dubai is undoubtedly a fast-growing city due to various factors such as tourism, its oil industry, and safety. It is marked as one of the safest cities not only in the Middle East but also in the world thanks to its strict implementation of laws and renowned police force.
The Dubai Police Force has some of the finest police cars the world has ever seen. In fact, tourists are enjoying their time in Dubai by just simply seeing and taking photos of Dubai cop cars. The Dubai cop cars are deployed not only to help make the city safer but also for its tourism.
It would be great to see some of the high-end performance vehicles become a police patrol car in our country as well. But that seems that be a far-fetched idea at the moment. So for now, let’s take a look at the police vehicles the Dubai Police Force showcases.
Audi R8
Starting this list is one of the most popular sports cars in the world, the Audi R8. The Audi R8 was first introduced in 2006 and has helped the German carmaker to further advance its name in the top high-performance vehicle market ever since.

Lamborghini Aventador
The Lamborghini Aventador is a fan favorite among tourists in Dubai simply because of the super car’s exotic look and roaring V12 engine. Violators should not think twice when pulled over by a Dubai Lamborghini Aventador cop car as it can run from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds.
The Lamborghini Aventador is the fastest Lamborghini to date
With that being said, the Lamborghini Aventador is one of the fastest cop cars in the Dubai Police Force fleet. However, the Aventador is not an ideal vehicle to use when arresting a violator considering it only has space for two police personnel and its large engine.
Ferrari FF
Right after the Lamborghini Aventador was introduced by Dubai Police Force, the Ferrari FF came in. The Ferrari FF is the only Ferrari model in the Dubai Police Force fleet. It is a 4-seater grand tourer first introduced in 2011. Powering the Ferrari FF is a 6.3-liter V12 engine that can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds.
