The Dubai Police’s array of high-performance vehicles has been further bolstered with the addition of the latest Lamborghini Urus Performante, a move that underscores the force’s commitment to utilizing cutting-edge technology in its pursuit of law and order.
The ceremonial handover of this high-octane police vehicle took place at the prestigious Dubai Airshow 2023. Paolo Sartori, the esteemed President of Lamborghini Automobili Middle East and Africa, entrusted the keys of this custom-outfitted supercar to Major General Ahmed Mohammed bin Thani, the esteemed Acting Chief of Dubai Police.
Emblazoned with the distinctive insignia of the Dubai Police, this iteration of the Urus Performante is powered by a formidable twin-turbo V8 engine. Boasting an impressive 666 horsepower and a torque peak of 850 Nm, this automotive marvel is capable of achieving blistering speeds of up to 306 km/h and can sprint from a standstill to 100 km/h in a mere 3.3 seconds.
The year 2023 marks a significant milestone for Lamborghini as it celebrates its 60th anniversary, a year that has also seen the iconic brand expand its global footprint by integrating its vehicles into law enforcement fleets across various nations.
The Urus Performante distinguishes itself not only through its aggressive aesthetics and robust performance but also through its bespoke modifications tailored to meet the specific operational requirements of the Dubai Police. This includes an armored compartment for arms, a retractable display for broadcasting messages, a dedicated trunk space for essential equipment, and a defibrillator, ensuring readiness for emergency medical interventions.
Complementing its operational capabilities, the vehicle boasts an imposing presence, courtesy of a 360-degree circular blue LED light bar and a commanding electric siren, affirming its authority on the roads.
This collaboration between the Dubai Police and Lamborghini’s local dealership epitomizes the enduring and fruitful partnership that the two entities enjoy, a sentiment echoed by Paolo Sartori. He emphasized the brand’s enthusiasm in perpetuating this alliance, which significantly bolsters the police force’s capabilities in fulfilling its myriad public responsibilities and in fortifying the city’s security infrastructure.
In a delightful convergence with the brand’s anniversary celebrations, this acquisition is a testament to Lamborghini’s commitment to maintaining a dynamic and influential presence in the UAE. It represents a significant leap from the brand’s recent ventures into the digital domain, signaling a renewed focus on tangible, high-impact contributions to public service and security.
This symbiotic relationship between Lamborghini and law enforcement isn’t confined to the UAE; it has been a longstanding tradition in Italy as well, where the Polizia di Stato has been in partnership with Lamborghini for over two decades. This includes the bespoke Urus Performante, poised to serve the Italian highway patrol from 2024, following its grand unveiling in Rome.
The induction of the Lamborghini Urus Performante into the Dubai Police fleet not only enhances the operational effectiveness of the force but also symbolizes the nation’s commitment to embracing luxury, cutting-edge technology, and excellence as hallmarks of its public image and governance philosophy. This stride aligns perfectly with Lamborghini’s vision of continual innovation and excellence, further solidifying its influential stature in the UAE.
