At the end of 2023, the Lamborghini Dubai dealership continued its collaboration with UAE law enforcement by delivering a Urus Performante SUV to the Dubai Police fleet.
This follows the delivery of a ‘standard’ Urus SUV to the Dubai Police in 2022.
Automobili Lamborghini Middle East and Africa regional head Paolo Sartori presented the keys of the Urus Performante SUV to Dubai Police acting commander-in-chief General Ahmed Mohammed bin Thani in a special ceremony at the 2023 Dubai Air show.
The Urus Performante entered service with the Dubai Police after a period of preparation and modifications of the car to adapt it to the work requirements of the police force.
The passenger compartment was customised with various essentials for the Dubai Police, including an armoured gun box, a fold-down message display, a special compartment in the boot for storing service equipment and a defibrillator for first aid response.
The livery combines green with white, with details on the bonnet and side doors featuring the police logo. The rear spoiler is fitted with a blue 360° LED light bar combined with an electric siren.
“We are delighted to continue our collaboration with Dubai Police, supporting them in their public safety mission,” Sartori says.
“This Urus Performante will be used to carry out a range of public duties and will help enhance the city’s security and safety, with this initiative further demonstrating our brand’s longstanding presence here in the UAE,” he says
Equipped with a twin-turbo V8 engine delivering 666 CV of power and 850 Nm of torque at engine speeds from 2,300 to 4,500 rpm, the Urus Performante guarantees 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 306 km/h.
General Ahmed Mohammed bin Thani says the high-performance SUV was added to the fleet as part of the Police’s efforts to increase the number of patrol officers across Dubai.
He says the Urus Performante will support Dubai police in their commitment to better serve residents, maintain social safety and security, and provide services in popular tourist destinations.
In December 2023, Lamborghini also delivered an Urus Performante to the Italian State Police (Polizia di Stato) where it will be used alongside a Lamborghini Huracan LP610-4 supercar for special duties such as the urgent transport of organs and plasma.
The collaboration between Automobili Lamborghini and the Italian State Police started in 2004, and the Urus Performante is the sixth model to enter the Highway Police fleet (Polizia Stradale).
