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.

How Much Is The Batmobile Worth?

A fascinating end to this chapter of Batman folklore. The Batmobile finds a new home.

“Having showed you the original 1966 Batmobile and reports of how it would be auctioned, its moment arrived at the Barrett-Jackson Auctions where the car made a record of the most expensive car ever at the Barrett-Jackson; it was auctioned for a thundering $4,620,000. The car is a one-off 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car originally built by Ford Motor Company lead stylists Bill Schmidt, Doug Poole Sr. and John Najjar.

Ghia Body works from Turin Italy built it by hand in 1954 at a cost of $250,000. The car went on to be revealed at the 1955 Chicago Auto Show in a pearlescent Frost-Blue white paint finish. The final design project would later go to George Barris who was contracted by 20th Century Fox Television and William Dozier’s Greenway Productions.

First Retail 2015 Ford Mustang Coupe to go at Auction

Usually, an auction gives buyers an opportunity to grab a bargain. But that’s not the case when the item for sale is the very first of the new model Mustang.

“As seems to be the new trend, the rights to the first production example of a hot new car

seem to be up for grabs at auction, with proceeds to benefit a charitable organization. Such was the case with the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the first production model won by Rick Hendrick of Hendrick 

Motorsports, at a Barrett-Jackson auction for $1.05 million. While we don’t know how much the first 2015 Ford Mustang Coupe will go for, we do know the rights to have the first retail model off the line in Flat Rock will be up for grabs at Barrett Jackson’s January 18 auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. “
