As if Dubai is not crawling with enough over the top luxury facilities as it were, the city-state finally sealed its reputation as the number 1 luxury destination in the world when its Police department tweeted about its latest addition to the force's fleet...a $500,000 Lamborghini! The car also has a maximum speed of 217 mph (349kph) and can accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-97 kph) in 2.9 seconds...a very handy fact seeing as 15% of traffic fines issued in Dubai are for driving at speeds in excess of 130 mph (209 kph.)

Dubai joins countries like Qatar and Italy which already have Lamborghinis in their police fleet.
So, if you're in Dubai you might want to think twice about committing a traffic offence...or you take a not-so-jolly ride to the station in a Lamborghini!
