Supercar fleet of the Dubai Police: Rolls Royce, Lamborghini & Co.

For more than 20 years, a special unit of the Dubai Police has been on the road with super sports cars, all of which only crack conceivable price and performance records. Instead of hunting criminals or traffic offices, the police are ambassadors of their own country and, in addition to the sights, apply to the most popular photo motifs in the United Arab Emirates. In the meantime, more and more electric cars can be found in the Supercar fleet. Police and tourists like this alike – as long as the engine output is only enthusiastic.

Ali Yousif has duty on the “frame” today, the largest picture framework in the world since 2018 and one of the impressive sights of Dubai. The sun is slowly falling and finally the temperatures drop under the 40-degree mark. Ali, dressed in his magnificent uniform, came together with some colleagues from the police center to the north of the desert city to present the latest automotive toys.

The 39-year-old police officer has been doing his job at Dubai Police for two decades and has now made it into the most coveted special unit of the regulatory authorities. But while the UAE SWAT is fighting secretly against organized crime or smuggler, it looks very different with Ali Yousif. He came to the frame almost silently with his new Lotus EMEYA.

The 918 hp electrolimousine is part of the Supercar fleet that the UAE police have been running for years. “It all started in 2001,” says the policeman, who could get a leading role in his green uniform in any Hollywood strip. “We currently have 18 cars in our Supercar Fuhrpark. With the vehicles we ensure security and order at the tourist hotspots.”

The Supercar fleet has become one of the landmarks of Dubai and the United Arab Emirates over the years. The list of magnificent mobile is long: Ferrari Gran Lusso, Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Panamera, Rolls-Royce Cullinan, Bentley Continental, BMW 8er Coupé or Mercedes AMG GT.

While Ali Yousif moves the electric power lotus in the usual white-green painting, his colleagues are now on the road with other luxury mobile such as Rolls-Royce Cullinan Mansory, Bentley Continental GT, Audi R8 and a Tesla Cybertruck.

Worldwide car manufacturers stand in line to provide the unusual special unit the as expensive and fast emergency vehicles with which the Dubai Police can be seen preferably at events and sights. “We are a tourist police and therefore contact persons and ambassadors in our country,” explains Ali, “However, there are no persecution hunts with the supercars. Our colleagues do that.”

Disputes among themselves, which colleague is traveling with which supercar? No trace, because the floors, which are over one million dirham (approximately 240,000 euros) each, are assigned unspectacularly by a roster for the eight -hour layers – just like the other emergency vehicles of police forces such as BMW 5 Series, Audi A6 or Nissan Patrol. The patrol police officers are mostly traveling with burners; But there are some Tesla models-such as the cyberruck, which has been causing a lot of sensation on patrol trips for several months.

Lamborghini has been making spectacular emergency cars available for many years – just like a 666 hp Urus performant – up to 306 km/h fast. General Ahmed Mohammed bin Thani, commander -in -chief of the Dubai police: “The powerful Super SUV was purchased as part of Dubai’s efforts to increase the number of patrol officials. The Lamborghini Urus Performante will support the Dubai police in better serving the residents, maintaining social security and offering services in popular tourist destinations.“

In addition to the white-green paintwork, the emergency vehicles are equipped with blue LED lights as well as extras such as weapons safe, first aid kit or defibrillator for all incidents. In the event of cases, it could even go with full throttle in one of the numerous hospitals from Dubai.

For quick purposes and the lavish engine services, the police are regularly trained on all possible vehicles, because the service of the Supercar Police is only one of the possible uses in the local police. The officials change the agency and unit regularly. Ali Yousif is all the more pleased that he can currently work at the Supercar – just like his colleagues.
