Well, that’s just ridiculous. Dubai’s Police Department bought a Bugatti Veyron

With cars ranging from a Lamborghini Aventador to an Aston Martin One-77 and Brabus-tuned Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG, the Dubai Police has assembled the most impressive fleet of police vehicles in the world.

So how can it top itself?

Why not get a Bugatti Veyron, the fastest production car in the world? Surely that is out of reach, even for the Dubai Police.

No, it isn’t. According to Motor Authoritythere is now a Veyron in the Dubai Police motor pool.

Actually, the car decked out in green and white with flashing lights on it roof isn’t the record-holding Veyron Super Sport. It’s the standard Veyron, a quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter producing W16 1,001 horsepower and 922 pound-feet of torque, and a top speed of “only” 253 mph.

Still, at over $1 million, this Veyron is one of the most-expensive police vehicles ever. Another is Dubai’s Aston One-77, which also tops $1 million.

While Ferrari 458 Italia and McLaren MP4-12C owners will cower in their garages at the site of the mighty Veyron, it won’t be used for actual police work. Like the other exotic cars owned by the Dubai Police, it will be used for promotional purposes only.

Officials think keeping these cars around is a good way to attract tourists, perhaps by demonstrating how quickly the police could shut down an illegal street race.

To top the Veyron, the Dubai Police will probably need a jet fighter, or maybe some kind of spacecraft.

See the Dubai Police Veyron in action in the video below, and let us know what car you think should join the fleet next in the comments.

Audi tackles Ferrari Luce fever with the hybrid Nuvolari, it’s fastest and beefiest car ever
Meet the Audi that makes Formula 1 technology street legal.
Audi Nuvolari

Audi has just pulled the wraps off the Nuvolari, its first hybrid supercar, and the numbers are genuinely hard to comprehend. Named after Tazio Nuvolari, one of motorsport's most iconic figures, the car produces 1,001 PS and can reach a top speed of over 350 km/h. Only 499 people will ever get to own one, with deliveries kicking off in the first half of 2027.

The Nuvolari can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.6 seconds and can hit the 200 km/h mark in just 6.8 seconds. Under the hood is a 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine producing 800 hp, paired with three electric motors for a combined system output of 1,001 PS. The electric motors at the front axle alone deliver 2,150 Nm of torque, which is a number that feels almost fictional.

Electric cars are getting more pocket-friendly globally, except for US buyers
The US EV market's 2025 decline wasn't about consumer disinterest. It was the predictable result of eliminating financial incentives.

In 2025, one in four cars sold anywhere in the world was electric. However, in the US, that figure is closer to one in ten, and it is not moving in the right direction. 

The falling EV prices globally have pushed sales to record levels. American buyers, on the other hand, are marching through 2026 with fewer incentives, higher prices, and a shrinking selection of affordable options.
