| Dubai police get Lamborghini Quote:
DUBAI - The city that boasts the world’s tallest building is equipping its police with $400,000 Lamborghini sports cars that Dubai’s deputy police chief says are in keeping with the Gulf capital’s image.
They also go fast, since according to the website of Lamborghini, an affiliate of the Volkswagen Group, all the Italian company’s cars reach 100 kph (60 mph) in well under six seconds.
Major General Khamis Mattar Al Mazeina said that a fleet of Lamborghinis, each estimated to cost around $400,000, had been obtained by the Dubai police for use at main tourist sites.
“The aim is to reflect the reputation of the emirate and the high stature it achieved,” Mazeina said.
“It will also help promote tourism and showcase the security role the Dubai police plays in safeguarding the city,” he added.
The vehicles will be deployed at the downtown area near the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa tower, the Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard as well as the cafe- and restaurant-lined walk of the Jumeirah Beach Residence, one of the most popular waterfront developments in Dubai.
Photos of the vehicles published in local media in the United Arab Emirates showed a green-and-white vehicle decorated with the Dubai police insignia on the front hood.
Dubai, one of seven emirates in the UAE federation, is staging a recovery from the financial crisis it suffered during the global financial crisis in 2009. The emirate recently has announced several major projects, including a huge tourism and retail development with the largest shopping mall in the world.
| I thought they ran out of money? Oh well, looks like they have an image to maintain.

Props to the Dupai police. They have the Aventadors they need to catch those speeders in their exotics.
Those drivers in their gold plated Veyrons in Dubai are gonna see a cop's Aventador chasing them.

i was just in dubai last month... aventador police cars isnt surprising, their regular police cars bmw 5 series.
if anyone ever gets the chance to check it out, i definitely recommend going, its one thing to read about it or see pictures on the net, but dubai is on another level, its an amazing place.

or is it for the cops who will be driving it, showing off in it and not really protecting the city |

but getting aventador police cruisers isn't going to make people think that Dubai is financially sound now
