In a city of boundless bling, police have to be able to keep up with the bad guys ufffd and when it comes to chasing supercars, your average squad car just might not be up to scratch.
The Dubai Police Department have tackled the problem head on — by adding a $550,000 (Rs 3 crore) Lamborghini Aventador to their fleet.
The two-door, two-seater sports car, which can reach speeds of up to 217mph, has been painted in the green-and-white colours of the Dubai police force. It can go from 0 to 62mph in 2.9 seconds.

The Aventador was described by Lamborghini on its website as ‘a one-of-a-kind piece of art’. The Dubai car may not end up roaring after lawbreakers in very high-speed car chases, however.
Instead, it will be mostly dispatched to tourist areas to show — in the words of deputy police director, Gen Khamis Matter al-Muzaina — “how classy Dubai is”. The Italian-made Lamborghini Aventador is the crown jewel of a wider upgrade in Dubai police wheels.
The force also is adding some American muscle to its fleet with a considerably less expensive Chevy Camaros. Dubai seeks to show it has rebounded from its debt crisis with brash plans that include the world’s largest Ferris wheel and a satellite city named after the city-state’s ruler.
