I was angry and surprise yesterday when I saw on front page about bentley been used as a police car in dubai I went to research in no time and was shocked at the result it seems that. Gone are the days of police in standard, reliable and affordable
Ford Crown Victorias. The Crown Vic is certainly the most
iconic police vehicle in North America, but in 2011 Ford Motor
Company stopped production on the Crown Vic police
interceptor. Instead, it was replaced with the Ford Taurus. The
Taurus hasn’t quite captured the interest of coppers like the old
faithful Crown Vic, and instead police cars from other
manufacturers like the Dodge Charger are becoming
increasingly popular. With changes afoot in the world of police
vehicles, law enforcement forces around the world are getting
seriously upgraded rides, and a handful of countries are so rich
that they can even afford to add supercars to their police fleets.
It wasn’t until 1950 that auto manufacturers began offering
specialised police vehicles to be sold to police fleets in the
United States; before 1950, police departments bought retail
vehicles and modified them themselves. More recently,
Lamborghini began modifying Gallardos with police
equipment, selling to Italian police forces. Before this, police
forces had been known to modify these supercars themselves,
after they were seized in drug raids. At first the Lambos were
just snazzy public relations tools, but more and more they’re
being used as patrol cars.
Sports vehicles being used as patrol cars isn’t exactly a new
phenomenon: Camaros have been used as California highway
patrol cars for years. But with a recent, new crop of super-
expensive and elite police cars, few criminals will be likely to
outrun these powerful roadsters in a high-speed chase. Most of
the vehicles on this list certainly wouldn’t be affordable
options for everyday citizens – certainly, being pulled over by
the cops would be that much more intimidating if you saw one
of these exotic autos chasing you in the rear view mirror. Here,
we’ve taken a look at the twelve most expensive, even enviable
police cars in the world, along with the nations in which
they’re in use. These cars have the potential to make any
regular cop a Supercop – and the pricetag to match.

12. Nissan GT-R in United Arab Emirates:
$100,000
There are multiple examples of this Japanese supercar being
used among police fleets in the United Arab Emirates. In
Dubai, this is one of the most affordable cars on the fleet. Abu
Dhabi added this powerful machine to it’s police fleet in 2009,
beating Dubai to the punch. However, these 485 hp beasts are
used for promotional events and not in everyday pursuits.

11. Porsche Panamera in Qatar:
$175,000 USD
During the 2011 National Day parade in Qatar, police unveiled
an entire fleet of these German luxury sedans. Given that Qatar
is the country with the highest per capita GDP in the world, it’s
no surprise there’s money to burn on not just one but many of
these high-end cruisers. While other countries have no problem
adding one or two expensive and luxurious autos to their
police fleets as a show piece, it’s rare for an entire fleet of the
same model to be used. Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund actually
owns Volkswagen AG shares, too, so perhaps they’re indirectly
offering up some free publicity to help the bottom line.

10. Bentley Continental GT in United
Arab Emirates: $200,000 USD
Get used to it, because you’re going to being seeing Dubai on
this list a lot. Dubai Police seem to throw money around like
it’s going out of style and Dubai Police add new luxury cars
and supercars to its fleet all the time. The $200,000 Bentley
Continental GT is not even close to being the most ostentatious
vehicle boasted by the Dubai Police…

9. Mercedes Benz SLS AMG in United
Arab Emirates: $200,000 USD
Dropping upwards of $200,000 on a police car that will likely
be used as nothing more than a mechanical show pony isn’t a
problem for Dubai Police. But when you’re as oil rich as Dubai
why not spend the cash on a German luxury tourer such as this
to showcase your force?

8. McLaren MP4-12C in United Arab
Emirates: $240,000 USD
With a plate number of 2020, this British supercar owned by
the UAE police force might be bragging about the United Arab
Emirates’ winning the hosting of Expo 2020. This mighty
Dubai patrol car boasts a 3.8-liter twin turbo V8 engine that
puts out an extremely impressive 616 hp.

7. Lamborghini Gallardo in Italy:
$250,000 USD
In a brilliant bit of marketing and a show of national pride, two
Gallardos were donated to the Italian police in commemoration
of the force’s 152 anniversary in 2004. These supercars were
used by traffic police in emergency situations. In 2009, one of
the police’s Lambos was involved in a collision with a SEAT
car, which totaled the Gallardo. But to make up for it,
Lamborghini donated a Huracan (Gallardo’s successor) to the
Polizia this year.

6. Ferrari FF in United Arab Emirates:
$300,000 USD
Here we go with Dubai again. If there’s a supercar that’s
creating a buzz at the motor shows then Dubai has to add it to
its police fleet. A four seat, four wheel drive FF would be an
ideal supercar for hauling baddies to the pen. But alas, this
Italian supercar won’t be used in any hot pursuits. Rather, it
will patrol tourist spots around the city.

5. Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 in
United Kingdom: $380,000 USD
At the MPH ’06 car show in Birmingham, England, London Met
Police showed off this modified Lamborghini, which assuredly
was just for show and not paid for with taxpayer funds. The
6.5-liter V12 supercar was pulled over by other cops curious of
the new wheels.

4. Lamborghini Aventador in United
Arab Emirates: $450,000 USD
This 700 hp supercar has a top speed of 350 km/h, but it never
reaches its top speed in Dubai. Instead, it’s being paraded
around as a marketing device like most of the high-speed
patrol cars in Dubai’s fleet.

.

3. Mercedes Benz Brabus Rocket CLS in
Germany: $475,000 USD
You won’t see this on the autobahn. Instead, this Police
supercar, which has a V12 offering up 730 twin-turbocharged
horses, was created for Germany’s Tune it Safe! program,
which aimed to educate German tuners about safe tuning
practices.

Wow

2. The Bugatti Veyron in United Arab
Emirates: $1.6 million USD
When Dubai Police started buying up one supercar after
another, many joked a Veyron would be next. There were even
hoaxes and fake reports circulating. But sure enough, one of
these extraordinary, $1.6 million supercars was officially
unveiled as part of Dubai’s police fleet this year.

1. Aston Martin One-77 in United Arab
Emirates: $2 million USD
If it’s rare and expensive then Dubai Police have to have it in
their fleet. It took a bit of work to put the Dubai Police logos in
place on this, as the One-77 (yes there really are only 77 of
them in the world) came off the production line in silver. That
meant it had to be customised in white before the green piping
could be added, to match the color scheme of the rest of the
fleet.

Mehn this guys have class its not small....

Naija police was formally cursed with Peugeot 504 and 505 series......signature cars "you'd agree"....with tune ups that doesn't start until you push, and every now and then they borrow battery .....the ba3 terminal sef is so rusty that....o boy....
