Dubai Tourist Police Turn Heads With 920 HP Lamborghini

For the visitors who wander through Dubai’s busiest tourist districts, the sight of a police car is about to change. Instead of a standard patrol vehicle, they may now find themselves face to face with a 920 HP Lamborghini Temerario, the latest supercar to join the emirate’s Tourist Police fleet. The idea, according to the officers who run the program, is simple: make police feel approachable rather than distant, and let a striking car do the icebreaking.

The Temerario, whose name translates to “reckless” in English, was commissioned in partnership with Lamborghini Abu Dhabi and Dubai and carries a baseline value of AUD$613,885. It will operate across popular tourist destinations and heavy-footfall areas, where its presence is meant to increase law enforcement visibility and foster positive relations with the public.

For the officers who will drive it, the car is also a workplace. Those inside the cabin get more headroom and legroom than in previous-generation models, along with a triple-screen digital dashboard that includes a dedicated 9.1-inch display for the passenger. The performance, meanwhile, sits in hypercar territory. A new in-house 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 with a flat-plane crankshaft and titanium conrods revs to a 10,000 rpm redline, and it is backed by three independent electric motors and a 3.8 kWh battery. The combined output is 920 HP (686 kW), enough to launch the car from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.7 seconds on the way to a 343 km/h top speed. Those figures outpace the track-focused Huracán STO.

Brigadier Saeed Al Hajri, Director of the General Department of Criminal Investigation at Dubai Police, confirmed the vehicle is designed to make officers more approachable. “Our luxury patrol fleet represents an innovative approach to policing, combining an effective security presence with community and tourist engagement,” he said. “These vehicles help people feel safe, showcase Dubai’s positive image to visitors from around the world, and raise awareness of police services and public safety. Above all, they reinforce our commitment to being a police force that is close to the community.”

Colonel Mohammad Abdulrahman Abdulwahid, Director of the Tourist Police Department, echoed that message. “At Dubai Police, we are committed to keeping pace with global developments and adopting initiatives that reflect Dubai’s leadership and unique character,” he said. “The addition of the Lamborghini Temerario demonstrates our continued efforts to develop our luxury patrol fleet and strengthen strategic partnerships with the private sector, contributing to a better quality of life, community happiness and an exceptional experience for Dubai’s visitors.”

The Temerario is not arriving alone. It joins a fleet that most recently added the Lamborghini Urus Performante, a twin-turbo V8 Super SUV producing 666 CV and fitted with an armoured gun box, a fold-down message display, and a rear spoiler with blue 360-degree LED lights. Both vehicles are currently active and patrolling major tourist zones across the city.

The force has form here. Dubai Police holds the Guinness World Record for operating the world’s fastest police car in service, a Bugatti Veyron capable of 407 km/h, and has been adding supercars since a Lamborghini Aventador joined the fleet in 2013. The department has long used these vehicles to market the city and break down barriers between police and the public. As part of a push to highlight its gender equality credentials, female officers are assigned to pilot the fleet’s most expensive machines, which also include bespoke models such as the Aston Martin One-77 and Bentley Continental GT.

Martino Picotti, General Manager of Lamborghini Abu Dhabi and Dubai, framed the handover as a milestone in a long relationship. “Our ongoing partnership with Dubai Police reflects the strong relationship between Lamborghini and the United Arab Emirates,” he said, calling the Temerario’s arrival an exciting new chapter that pairs the automaker’s passion for innovation with the force’s commitment to serving the community. For visitors to Dubai, that commitment now arrives at 920 HP.
