Taller, now faster - Dubai gives police Lamborghinis
DUBAI (Reuters) - 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 (VOWG.DE), 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.
