The World’s Fastest Police Cars

Most highway patrol squads around the world drive standard, mass production cars with go-fast police stickers down the side and flashing lights up top. But not in Dubai…

The Emirati city of Dubai made big waves last year when it started purchasing supercars and turning them into police cars. First there was the Lamborghini Aventador police car. Then, the Ferrari FF. Before we knew what was happening, Dubai then added an Aston Martin One-77, and the pièce de résistance, a Bugatti Veyron.

Since then, Dubai’s exotic police fleet has only expanded, and this new video goes into detail as to why the city has the world’s fastest police cars. Many were quick to criticize the Dubai police force when news broke about the city’s exotic police fleet for what was perceived as just a massive showing of wealth, but the Bugatti and Lamborghini police cars actually serve a very important purpose in the city — the supercars break down the barrier between the police and the country’s citizens.

As one of the police officers points out in the video, the supercars bring the people to the police, making them altogether more approachable. It seems that behind the wheel of a Veyron, a police officer is no longer intimidating.”

While the Dubai police force has a fleet of regular police cruisers including the Dodge Charger, Nissan Pathfinder, and Toyota Land Cruiser Prado for patrolling the majority of the city, the supercars spend all their time patrolling Dubai’s tourist districts.

The fleet, which is estimated to have cost the city $6.5 million, includes over 12 different types of sports cars and exotics. The fleet includes a Bugatti Veyron, Brabus-tuned Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG, McLaren 12C, Ferrari FF, Lamborghini Aventador, Audi R8, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, Aston Martin One-77, Bentley Continental GT, Nissan GT-R, Chevrolet Camaro SS, tuned Ford Mustang GT, and a custom Harley-Davidson Softtail.

The New Audi S3 is a Contender

This car looks good from every angle, and with it’s rally warpaint, it really looks the part.

Rotek Racing officially unveiled its striking Oakley Motorsports-liveried Audi S3 saloon during the 2014 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship’s official Media Day at the historic Donington Park circuit on Tuesday (18 March).

Oakley Motorsports and Rotek Racing gave power to the people by inviting the BTCC’s army of fans to select its 2014 livery from 12 artist’s impressions.

Thousands of enthusiasts flocked to the Rotek Racing and BTCC Facebook pages to choose their favourite colour scheme and the winning Oakley Motorsports design has gone from the drawing board to reality, officially unveiled to the assembled media, VIPs and fans in the Donington Park pit lane on Tuesday (18 March).

The BTCC – Britain’s premier motor racing championship – is experiencing something of a renaissance. For more than half a century it has inspired great motor sporting feats and captivated millions of fans and it continues to soar in popularity, providing spectators with bumper-to-bumper on-track action and unparalleled access to its star drivers and cars.

Each year the championship embarks on a tour of the UK’s greatest motorsport venues, including Brands Hatch, Donington Park and Silverstone, and attracts large trackside crowds of around 40,000 spectators, with a TV audience of approximately 20million tuning in to ITV Sport’s comprehensive live coverage.

Rotek Racing, an Audi Customer Racing team, is led by tin-top star Robb Holland – the first American to contest rounds of the FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) whose one-off outings in the Dunlop-backed BTCC have heralded a full campaign in 2014.

Holland is now the first American to enter the BTCC full-time and is determined to reach the front in the ultra-competitive championship.

Fusing his larger than life character and approach to racing with prestigious backing from the motorsport division of American brand, Oakley, and a fine and meticulous attention to detail, Holland also aims to make Rotek Racing the most visual, interactive and fan-friendly team on the grid.

“The hard work has been put in by my guys at Rotek Racing and it has been tough watching them work through until the early hours of the morning to ready the car for Media Day,” said Holland. “Nobody was willing to cut any corners and we wanted to make sure that absolutely everything was done right. To see the Audi S3 out here at Donington Park is pretty spectacular.

“You’re always going to be proud of what your guys produce, but to have received so much positive feedback on the car is just fantastic and a testament to all the hard work and the hours put in by the team. I also have to give credit to the fans because they chose spectacularly well and I really do believe that Rotek Racing will have one of the most striking liveries on the grid this year!”

Holland continued: “The 2014 season will definitely be a learning year, as trying to build a new car and develop it with very little testing is a tall order for even the most experienced of teams and there are still quite a few circuits for me to acclimatise to.

“However, I think the Audi S3 saloon will be a good fit, as it’s the first of the new generation S3s to race anywhere in the world. I’m also really glad to have the support of Oakley Motorsports. The BTCC is the perfect high visibility platform to launch its line of motorsports gear here in the UK and across Europe.”

AUDI AG: Global Sales Up

Audi’s figures are looking good

In February, AUDI AG delivered around 117,500 cars to customers around the world, 6.8 percent more than one year ago. Since the beginning of the year, the company’s unit sales have thus increased by 9.3 percent year-on-year to around 242,400 deliveries. Audi sales figures once again climbed in all regions around the world last month. Around one third of the volume growth was achieved in Europe. With significant increases in Germany, the UK and Italy, there was a 5.3 percent increase for the region. In China, Audi completed the sales month – shortened considerably by the New Year holiday – with a 6.9 percent increase over the February 2013 level.

“Audi continued the positive start of the year in February despite noticeable non-recurring effects in important overseas markets,” says Luca de Meo, Member of the Board of Management for Sales at AUDI AG. “In Europe, several markets are gaining stability at what remains a low level. In this region we are already scoring with the new A3 Sedan*, which will also be launched in China and the United States, its two most important sales markets, in the upcoming weeks.”

Take a perfectly good Audi, and make it sing.

The second day of the Geneva Motor Show brings about a slower pace free of press conferences and reveals from the four rings brand, and so we’re able to head to more far-flung areas of the Geneva PalExpo and discover displays featuring other Audi and Lamborghini product. Most notably, this includes offerings from Audi’s rich aftermarket.

Larger tuning houses like Abt Sportsline and MTM are actually located on the show floor and not far from Audi directly. We’ve already posted all of the press materials from Abt and the MTM materials will be coming shortly. What we can tell you now is that they had their high-speed Nardo S8, an RS Q3 and a Volkswagen Amorok pickup swapped with a 4.2 TDI V8.

Right now we’re focusing on capturing as much as we can while we’re here, and this includes several other modded Audis down in a lower aftermarket hall on the other side of the facility.

So what was in the OE/Aftermarket hall? We found a modified RS 3 sporting a mix of modifications, a matte black S5 featuring two different wheel designs on either side and also a nice-looking RS 5 from Vossen wheels.

Also in the OE/Aftermarket hall are several vendors selling car-themed goods like books, clothes and of course model cars. Here we found an equally rich mix, like 1:18 scale S2 Coupe and a 1:43 model of Audi’s mid-engine Gruppe S prototype.

Check out more photos from this set in our Geneva Motor Show photo gallery linked in the usual spot below and to the right of this story.
