$800,000 Lamborghini the world's fastest police car

Dubai police have taken delivery of a Lamborghini Aventador that will give them a better chance at running down exotic cars in the Middle East.

The 350km/h Aventador Coupe is capable of accelerating from 0-100km/h in 2.9 seconds, and should be able to catch anything short of a Bugatti Veyron.

Lamborghini’s super-coupe only has two seats, so officers might have to wait for backup before apprehending crims. It’s not the most practical choice, and we’re willing to bet that Dubai’s sunny climate would have made the new Aventador Roadster an equally appealing option for the force.

Dubai’s finest won’t be the first to patrol the streets in a Lamborghini, as Italian highway patrol has run a V10-powered Gallardo supercar for several years.


The 325km/h Gallardo is not used for pursuits, and is instead fitted with a cool box to move human transplant organs between hospitals in record time.

A Nissan GT-R driven by Abu Dhabi police had been the fastest patrol car in the Gulf, but the new Lamborghini should have its measure.

The Aventador is a much more impressive device than the special 400kW FPV GT and Porsche Panamera used by Police in Sydney.
