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.

Who Put That Skip-Bin There?

That’s what the driver of this Ferrari 458 Italia  said when he crashed into it.

A red Ferrari 458 Italia has been left mangled and wrecked after the male driver and owner crashed the Italian exotic into a skip bin in Madrid, Spain.

Interestingly, following the crash, the driver fled possibly because he had been drinking and didn’t want to be fined for drinking and driving. However, the man was found hours later.

According to witnesses on the scene, the Ferrari 458 Italia was speeding through the streets and after trying to avoid another crashed car, the driver lost control and crashed into the skip bin.

Understandably, the damage is quite extensive. The front end has been absolutely destroyed as the car went head on into the skip. The left rear wheel is also severely damaged suggesting that the 458 Italia hit something before the skip with its tail.

Who"s wins? Ferrari 599 GTO vs Nissan Juke R vs BMW X6M

Ferrari Wins Again

The cars are all winners. But did you know the Brand itself is a winner as well?

“Brand Finance awards Ferrari second successive year

Maranello, 18 February – Once again this year, Ferrari is the strongest brand in the world. That is the finding of Brand Finance, the British company, a leader in brand evaluation, which today published the annual Global 500 report.

Calculated on the basis of criteria such as financial revenue, but also elements such as fame, customer loyalty and the quality of human resources, the classification saw the Prancing Horse brand take the prize ahead of international colossi such as Coca-Cola, Goole, Hermes and Disney.

“I am pleased and proud of this recognition, which we have been given for the second consecutive time,” said Luca di Montezemolo, in Modena for the reopening ceremony for the Museo Casa Natale Enzo Ferrari di Modena. “I am particularly pleased the announcement was made today, as we remember the anniversary of the birth of our Founder and just as we are approving at the end of our Board Meeting this afternoon, record financial results for 2013, and great efforts in terms of technological investment.”

Ferrari Wins Again

LaFerrari Inspired

It’s catching on.

“Not long ago I bought you the attention of the Lamborghini inspired powerboat. Now there is an alternative “LaFerrari” inspired yacht which will be available to the public for just 4 million dollars. I know I say that like it’s not allot of money but what do you exactly get for the 4 million dollars?

Well it does have X2 900hp engines powered by Volvo, but as you climb aboard this exclusive yacht the first thing you’ll notice is the care and attention to detail. The deck itself features a carbon fibre “tubular frame structure” deck reinforcement, Corezyn white marine gel-coat which is a military grade vinyl and crack resistance material. Even the engine room is fitted with diamond plate flooring panels.

Nobody knows what the interior of this yacht will look like, but we do know that included in the price you get 5 flat screen TVs, several Blu-Ray players, a touchscreen pad to control all the lighting/onboard entertainment, teak decking throughout the boat with a built in settee and carbon fibre tables and overhead LED lights which gives it a nice ambiance. At the rear of the boat features a hydraulically operated garage door handy for keeping jet skis.

Up on the top deck features an awning with (4) removable carbon fibre poles and sunbrella fabric, forward seating group with one table and storage under sun pad.

As you enter the master stateroom you instantly notice the king size bed in the centre of the room, the panoramic windows with LED lighting throughout, a pop up 42″ TV which can disappear when you wan’t the room to look that much neater, the touch screen wall device to control entertainment/lights etc. And to finish it all of chrome and stitched fabric throughout the room.

 The yacht is based on this, the 2013 Ferrari LaFerrari. The latest technical masterpiece from Ferrari producing 963hp. The top speed is unknown but Ferrari say it will achieve over 350khm and do 0-60mph in under 3 seconds and a retail price of over £1 million pounds (Still a bargain compared to the yacht)

Thanks to Guy H for the tip!
