Police cars in Dubai: One thousand and one power

Dubai police ride on cars, which he dreamed any hijacker. Why? Because they can. And indeed ugly to ask such questions in paradise.

Urgent Room! Patrol car Bugatti Veyron, who allegedly entered service harshest Arab cops do not actually exist! Apparently, someone pamper photoshop and posted "toad" in the Network. Would know this wit, what a headache he delivered the Dubai police chief, because the people believed and is eager to see the car in the flesh. So, will have to scrape the bottom of the barrel, the benefit of two million euros a very small amount for 1001 horsepower.




And while the car decorate lights flashing and sirens, servicemen Luda is comforted by the fact that there are - for example, one of the Aston Martin One-77 by Q, which in all the world there are only seven pieces. The purchase amount - 1, 4 million, just a trifle! If Aston already took all night upon the work of a colleague, you can take a Lamborghini Aventador. Or Ferrari FF. Or Mercedes SLS. Or Bentley Continental. Against this background, BMW M5 and the Shelby Mustang, bought on delivery, can serve as a punishment for the guilty. In short, no other country in the world you do not get much pleasure from his own arrest.

Of course, the imagination paints a series of chases in which the swarthy brave policemen rush to "Lamborghini" for dangerous recidivists swarthy. But alas - for this there are other cars. Here in Dubai, police hypercar do exactly what they do best in any other country - posing, showing obscenely high standard of living subjects emirate in the hope that the rest of the world will approve. The Emirate of Dubai is considered a research laboratory for the society with virtually limitless financial resources.

Against the background of this madness horsepower our hire car is only slightly better child bicycle - scared to admit it's just a 165-hp Kia Sportage. It seems to be quite enough, but next to greedily followed the road Aventador'om feel the futility of attempts to avoid retribution. Equipped with a blue flashing light Lambo ready to break at the first signal from one of the thousands of stationary radars - one for every kilometer of the road! And there are plenty of mobile controllers. This state of total control, which did not dream the North Korean leaders. After talking with the police, I developed a persecution complex.

Anas al Matroshi, Vice-Director, who oversees the police garage and rescue operations in Dubai, trained as a helicopter pilot in Germany, and is now ready to make the dream of any reporter. All my wishes cause him unambiguous response: "No problem." Close to motorway us? No problem. Helicopter? No problem. Drive the Aston Martin at Souk, strict pedestrian area? Well, you get the idea. During the parking lot I got a ticket, no problem, he just ripped it. A small deviation from the planned route to the Burj Khalifa, the highest in the world, home (830 m): no problem.

What do these cars here and whose idea was it - buy them? 1, 4 million worth One-77, in Europe you can buy forty fully equipped, although absolutely prosaic Passat Variant in a police modification. And they are suitable for the service much more than a low, infinitely wide, nervous Aston.

The idea came from the top - from the Emir Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. He loves horses - both living and railways. His garage would be the envy of other organizers of the Frankfurt motor show, is not the most productive years. Emir believes his plan great: the powers that be to ensure the coolest cars of the planet, for all to see in Dubai progressive country of unlimited opportunities. So here are the cars as mobile storefronts - zavlekalochek for tourists. We were able to see for yourself that it works. They - Landmark RV.

For example, once the angular Lamborghini Aventador with its picturesque beacons stayed, he was surrounded by a crowd of pedestrians. Immediately heard numerous clicks of cameras and mobile phones, imprinted children, spouses and friends in the arms of a policeman miracle. This car attracts people like moths to light, and they take pictures of all the relatives alternately, forming a lively place. Cops can only patiently wait out the wave. And when we stood with Aston Martin in the gold souks, to our know-Mystery-problems came very simply dressed elderly man greeted him with such a great car and thanked for the fact that the police guards at his fastest in the world of iron horses.

Anas al Matroshi says: "Our goal - to be a friend of the common people. They should not be afraid of us. We are always friendly and help everyone if we can ».



Indeed, the relationship between the locals and the police seem to be completely at ease. The crime rate is low, especially when you consider that in Dubai live two hundred different nationalities and that the wealth of the two-million city attracts many unreliable individuals. To control the situation deployed ingenious system of observation. We were allowed to explore the inner sanctum - an underground room police headquarters, which was similar to the scenery of the James Bond movies. On huge monitors the entire city can be seen in three dimensions in real time, and pressing the closed city blocks are switched to red lights and roads are blocked by police cars. Therefore, in Dubai and there is no race harassment - all solved remotely.
In the future, local law enforcement will add exclusive cars: they go Audi R8 V10 (just two copies), Bugatti Veyron, Toyota LFA, Chevrolet Corvette, McLaren MP-4. After that it will be possible to assert that it contains representatives from each manufacturer are more or less serial supercars. Suddenly it turns out that even here, the Arabs do not deny yourself the pleasure to bargain. "Price listed in the price is not taken into account by us, because we are doing a commercial for car companies", - says Anas al Matroshi. Therefore, by the way, Dubai is still not presented any Porsche, although some of the police bosses uses Cayenne as official cars.

Meanwhile, Ferrari, Lambo and Aston quietly patrolling the city on the specified routes, for half an hour somewhere stop posing for photos. Most often they can be seen in the busy tourist locations such as Burj Al Arab and Burj Khalifa. They drive four hours a day, and on weekends (Friday and Saturday), even six hours driving along 80 km. Surely this is the most used in the world of supercars - no sample in private hands has no such daily run!

Impressive police-men and cute female police officers as easily imagine assure that love their job. Still - ride on these wheelbarrows for others! Yet with my lower back and sore subject sorokagradusnuyu heat I would prefer our Kia, even though it seems that he has only 50 forces.
