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.chevrolet-camaro-ss-dubai-police-car-front-three-quarters-view-21 (2)


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.

Excitable First Impressions of 2015 Mustang.


The Spanish are passionate people.  Even if you don’t understand the language, you’ll get the general drift…he’s excited!. And why not? 

“The 2015 Ford Mustang created quite a stir when it was revealed around the world, especially in those areas that never got the pony car via official channel until now. Basically every continent but North America.


But we still have to keep our shirts on, as there’s plenty of stuff Ford needs to unveil about the Mustang and we still have to wait for the iconic vehicle to reach its target markets. Some of you probably got to see it in person at various events, while very few lucky people got to inspect it up close and personal.Mustang


We’ve yet to touch the car and we’re envious of people who already did that, especially the Spanish-speaking fellow you’re about to see below, who got an 11-minute tete-a-tete with the sixth-generation Mustang.


The good thing is that this video provides us with a thorough walkaround of the car. The bad side is that the whole footage is in Spanish, and we’ve missed one too many Spanish classes lately. One thing is certain though, the 2015 Mustang is mas importantes!”
