The police force is an important part of any government, which is why it is not surprising to see modern countries beef up their police with the latest equipment, weapons and the skills and knowledge needed to keep criminals behind bars and peace undisturbed. But when it comes to cars, some countries are willing to spend ridiculous amounts of money to acquire super cars for their fleet.
While it may seem like acts of extravagance, some people are quick to point out that many criminals today drive fast and modified vehicles to evade capture. It is only logical for police forces capable of getting expensive cars to supply their own fleet with speedsters that can cruise the road at blitzing speed. All in the name of justice. Here are the 5 most expensive cop cars today
* Dubai Police – Bugatti Veyron: $4 Million
Abu Dhabi parades a fleet of police supercars and the Bugatti Veyron is one of its fabled roadsters. The car can run at 267 miles per hour, which probably makes it the fastest car in this list. However, Dubai’s super cop cars are not assigned to chase bad guys and run down crooks. They are more of ornaments, a display of Dubai’s wealth more than anything.
* Germany – Mercedes-Benz Brabus Rocket: $580,000
Germany is home to top super car manufacturers, so it is not surprising to see expensive cars doing police work, chasing crooks and patrolling the roads. Among its prized speedsters is the Mercedes Benz Brabus Rocket CLS. An enormous a 6.3L V12 Biturbo 800 engine pushes the car, giving it a top speed of 228 mph.
* South Africa – Lamborghini Gallardo: $248,000
Sleek and fast, nothing can outrun the Lamborghini Gallardo of the South African Police. Built with an outrageous V10 engine that can generate 570 horsepower and has a range of 476 miles, no one can stress how fast the Lamborghini Gallardo is. Aside from South Africa, Italy and the United Kingdom also have this supercar in their fleets.
* Qatar – Porsche Panamera: $175,000
The Qatari Police has perhaps one of the largest fleets of supercars in its backyard. Along with the very popular Porsche Panamera, the Qatari law enforcement also boasts Porsche Cayennes in their ranks. Here’s why – the Qatari government is a shareholder of Porsche, so the stream of super cars for police business is not a problem. To augment the police fleet, the Qataris also have the BMW motorcycles and Toyota Land Cruiser V8s to patrol the roads.
* Abu Dhabi – Nissan GT-R: $100,000
The Nissan GT-R is one of the most prized police cars of the Abu Dhabi police car fleet. However, these powerful beasts on wheels are acquired forpromotional and public relations purposes only. That said, some law enforcement agencies have deployed the Nissan GT-R either as a pursuit vehicle or a car for undercover operations,typical police business. And if the situation calls for it, the Nissan GT-R is more than capable of torching the asphalt with its blinding speed and power.
