Some include the Bugatti Veyron and Lamborghini Aventador.

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.

Now, the Dubai Police Force is capable of putting a show effortlessly with the Audi R8 as it is easily recognizable. Many Hollywood movies have used the Audi R8 including Tony Stark of the Marvel Universe and Logan from The Wolverine.

McLaren MP4-12C

The first-ever production car wholly built by British car brand McLaren Automotive managed to make its way to the fleet of performance cop cars of the Dubai Police Force. More often than not, tourists will turn their heads when they hear the sound of the McLaren 12C’s 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine. The engine is capable of generating 592 hp and 600 Nm of torque.

Who knew police will use hybrid sports cars?

The BMW i8 is one of the most fuel-efficient sports cars in the Dubai Police Force’s fleet of performance vehicles. Powering the BMW i8 is a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-3 engine with two electric motors which overall produce 369 hp and 570 Nm of torque.

Nissan GT-R

The Nissan GT-R was inducted into the Dubai Police Force fleet in 2013 alongside the Audi R8. Since the Nissan GT-R is one of the most loved sports cars in the world, tourists will surely have a good time wandering around the streets of Dubai. The Dubai Nissan GT-R cop car keeps Dubai safe and in order with its 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 engine good for 560 hp.

Chevrolet Camaro

The Chevrolet Camaro is one of the relatively most affordable cop cars of the Dubai Police Force with a starting price of $25,000 (around Php 1.2 million using direct currency conversion) in the U.S. market. The Chevrolet Camaro can fully attend to those who will try to violate traffic rules in Dubai.

Tesla Cybertruck

The Dubai Police Force hasn’t integrated a Tesla Cybertruck into its fleet yet as the production version of the said SUV is expected to arrive late this year. However, the Dubai Police Force posted on its official social media accounts what would the Tesla Cybertruck look like as a Dubai cop car.

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. Police personnel report that some people wish to be arrested to experience riding in a Ferrari.

It was first introduced in 2010 and no one knew that at that time someday the sports car will be used as a high-performance cop car. The city of Dubai will surely be safe as the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG will apprehend road violators with ease thanks to its V8 engine good for 563 hp and 650 Nm of torque.

Bugatti Veyron

One of the Dubai cop cars that made a lot of noise when used by the Dubai Police Force is the Bugatti Veyron. Who knew that one day the fastest car in its time will be used as a cop car? Well, it happened in 2014 and it has helped Dubai with its campaign to promote its secure and dependable police system. The Bugatti Veyron is also one of the most expensive addition to the lineup with a price tag at $1.6 million (about Php 76.8 million in direct conversion).
