Dubai's Police Fleet Goes Full Throttle with Lamborghini Urus Performante Acquisition
Imagine being pulled over by one of the most impressive engineering marvels known to the automotive industry—a Lamborghini Urus Performante, adorned in Dubai's iconic white and green police colors. The city, notorious for its prestigious collection of high-speed patrol cars, has upped the ante yet again.
The Urus Performante is the latest entrant to this elite squad, and it's been tailored specifically for patrol duty. Its bespoke modifications include a streamlined rear spoiler with a 360-degree LED light bar—ensuring it's visible in every direction—and a built-in siren. While the interior remains a closely guarded secret, reports hint at state-of-the-art equipage including an armored gun box, an emergency message display screen, and a life-saving defibrillator.
The real treat, however, lies under the hood. The Urus Performante houses an explosive 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, delivering a gut-punching 657 horsepower. It catapults from 0 to 62 mph in an eye-watering 3.3 seconds, reaching top speeds of 190 mph—just in case it ever needs to chase down a rogue supercar on Dubai's opulent highways.
For a city that's no stranger to luxury and speed, the Urus Performante is both a functional tool for law enforcement and a statement of grandeur. Dubai's police fleet isn't only about the Lamborghini, either. Over the years, the force has commissioned a fleet of jaw-dropping vehicles, including a Bugatti Veyron, a Brabus-tweaked Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and even a futuristic hoverbike. More conventional, but no less significant, models like the Toyota Land Cruiser and Dodge Charger round out the ranks, proving that Dubai's police force is as varied as it is spectacular.
With this latest addition, Dubai's message is loud and clear: they're equipped to enforce the law at any speed, and they'll be doing it in style. As for neighboring Abu Dhabi’s high-speed task force? Their collection includes the likes of a Bugatti Veyron and a Nissan GT-R, making one wonder: in the UAE, is the competition for the most extravagant police fleet as fierce as the cars themselves?
