Dubai Police Get More Fleet of Supercars (Photos)

Police in Dubai have taken delivery of a fleet of exotic supercars capable of catching up with even the fastest car in the world.

After unveiling a $453,000 Lamborghini Aventador and a Ferrari last month, authorities have now added Bentley, Mercedes and a $2.4m Aston Martin.


All vehicles, in full livery, are capable of doing over 190mph and some motorists are thought to have actually begged to be arrested in the hope they can be taken back to the local nick in one of the mega-buck motors.

The UAE is known for its multi-millionaires who drive around the wealthy state in some of the world’s most exotic cars.

The police recently announced anyone caught exceeding 125mph would face legal action and it is hoped the presence of the 700bhp supercars will make boy racers think twice.


                                                                                             

Deaths on the road are a common occurrence in the UAE, with one person killed in a traffic incident every 26 hours.Most of the deaths are caused by speeding, driving without a seatbelt and driving while using mobile phones.

Officer Khalifa Abdullah Mohammad, 25, has been patrolling Dubai in the Lamborghini police car for the past six weeks.

He said: “I have issued about 30 tickets to drivers blocking the traffic and parking in prohibited places.
“But the most amazing thing about driving such a car is how people look at you with a big smile.”
