According to Vocativ, the news website, the Dubai cops are the proud owners of a “super fleet,” a garage full of high-end sports cars from all over the world. The Veyron is the latest addition and it's capable of doing 267 miles per hour and launching from 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds. It joins Aston Martins, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Mercedes and Mustangs in the fleet.
Despite their high top speeds, the cars aren't used to chase criminals, but serve as tools in a $6 million PR campaign for what is known as the most progressive of the Arab police forces. Dubai cops drive fleet vehicles to various tourist attractions as a way to connect with both tourists and citizens.
