Dubai has the world’s fastest police car

There is no city in the whole world, where you would just notice Bugatti Veyron, Ferrari FF or Lamborhini Aventador as a police car.

The Guinness Book of World Records has certified that the Dubai police have the world’s fastest car in service, a Bugatti Veyron, which is one of its 14 strong fleet of supercars.

A fleet of the most luxurious and fastest cars in police service may sound outlandish, but it fits perfectly with the ethos of Dubai

In Dubai, to turn heads of others, your Bentley or Rolls Royce needs to be in gold, it is quite normal for the police force to have a suite of supercars at its disposal.

The luxury fleet of cars includes Aston Martin One-77, of which only 77 were over built, a Bentley Continental GT, three hybrid Porsche Panamera and two BMW i8s.

But, the main attention of the fleet is the Veyron, the beast can reach the top speed of 253 mph (407 km/h)

Its 16-cylinder engine produces 1,000 horsepower, sending it from 0 to 60mph in just two and a half seconds.

The previous record for the fastest police car was held by the Italian police force, with the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, which has a top speed of 230 mph (370 km/h).

But the Dubai’s super fleet is not used for high-speed car chases down the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard, or very many police duties at all for that matter.

The cars cruise around the Dubai Mall are and Jumeirah Beach Residence in search of tourists and attention.

Major Sultan Al Marri of Dubai police's General Department of Transport & Rescue said that the role of the super fleet is to break down barriers between the police and the public.

"We're not looking to just show off with the car, we're looking to show tourists how friendly the police is here in Dubai," Sultan said in an interview. "We are looking for ways to connect with people all the time."
