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.

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport in Startling White.

GT Spirit calls this the Photo Of The Day!  No arguments about that at all

The Bugatti Veyron possibly the defining car of the decade. It pushed boundaries and explored technological advancements like no other car manufacturer has ever done before and produced a car the shatters the limits of what everyone believed was possible.

The Grand Sport allowed the speed, power and brutal acceleration to be experienced with the wind rushing through the driver and lucky passenger hair with the sun on their skin

Powering the 2010 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport is the now familiar, 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine pumping out 1,001 hp and helping to launch the car to 100 km/h in around 2.5 seconds and onto a top speed of 407 km/h. This flawless white example was photographed by GTspirit photographer Willem de Zeeuw

The Bugatti Veyron: Defining the Art

Simon Cowell’s Black Bugatti Veyron

Who knew that there’d be so much money in finding the best Karaoke singers?  Simon Cowell has made a fortune out of it.

“ The unique black Bugatti Veyron once owned by Simon Cowell officially sold at the ongoing Barrett-Jackson auctions in Scottsdale. Going into the auction  with an unknown reserve price, it was anyone’s guess as to whether the car would actually sell and for how much.

Unsurprisingly, the car did sell, with this stunning all-black Veyron selling for an impressive $1.375

For those that didn’t know, Cowell purchased his black Veyron new from Bugatti Beverly Hills in 2008 and in that time it has covered just 1,300 miles. The full black exterior and black interior also make this one of only a handful of black on black Veyrons in the United States and the entire world.

Making this Bugatti Veyron even more unique and worthy of the $1.375 million is that it is the first ever certified used Veyron sold. What this basically means is that the car was fully inspected by Bugatti engineers before hitting the auction block. Additionally, it came with four brand new tyres and a full one-year, extended factory warranty.

As for the powerplant, it is the same as all ‘regular’ 16.4 Veyrons. That means it is an 8.0-liter W16 engine combining four turbochargers. This powertrain can crank out an incredible 987 hp which in the Super Sport and Vitesse models, is increased to 1200 hp. The engine is then mated to one of the world’s best 7-speed automated dual-clutch transmissions driving all four wheels and helping to rocket the car to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 253 mph!
