Dubai police are not the only force with supercars, with police in Italy and Germany using supercars as faster and more powerful patrol cars. But like so much in the city, Dubai's are the biggest and the best.
The Dubai police supercars are on display at the Dubai Police stand at the Arabian Travel Market, which ends tomorrow the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre. So far the price of the fleet has reached over Dh12m.
Maj Gen Khamis Mattar, deputy head of Dubai Police, explained that the addition of the cars was part of Dubai Police's desire to keep up with the growth of the city as a tourism and business hub.
But while they may be the world's fastest cars - the Aston Martin's V-12, 750 horse-power engine can push it to over 350 kph, faster than most aircrafts taking off - they all must be driven within the speed limits of the Dubai streets.
