Last week, the city’s law enforcement welcomed a new addition to the fleet — a Lamborghini Aventador. Dubai’s chief of police Lt. Gen. Dahi Khalfan Tamim told GulfNews the Avendador was so well received, the force decided to add a Ferrari FF to its fleet.
“These sports cars will not be roaring and chasing speeding motorists,” he said. “They will be used for roads security in different areas of Dubai.”
The Aventador and FF are at the forefront of what Mr. Khalfan Tamim calls “updating the police patrol cars to enhance the security on roads in accordance with the highest international standards and technical developments.”
The police force posted a rendering of the FF on its Twitter feed. The actual car expected to hit the streets by the end of this week to confirm Dubai as magnificent and extravagant in all the services it provides, according to Mr. Khalfan Tamim.
The Aventador is powered by a 6.5-litre V12 good for 690 horsepower. The FF, on the other hand, is slightly less powerful, with its 6.3-litre V12 producing 651 ponies. It is, however, more practical thanks to its two extra seats in the back.
Although prevalent in Need For Speed games, adding supercars to police fleets is nothing new in the real world. Various police forces in Britain have Subaru Impreza WRX and Mitsubishi Lancer EVO patrol cars, in addition to Italy’s Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 cruiser.
Man, that looks cool! Can you imagine if you worked for the Dubai police force and you heard you were getting Lamborghinis and Ferraris added to the fleet?!
