The BMW i8 joins the Dubai Police's jaw-dropping assortment of exotic and supercars, which already include a Veyron, Aventador, Ferraris, McLaren and more.

Here's the i8 in its Dubai Police livery.

My exact thought.

Yeah? Let's see a road block with all of them when there's a runaway tractor trailer. Cops (Dubai edition) "mam, do you realize your ankles are showing? Please put your hands behind your back."

Nothing more than a marketing gimmick to get people to come visit the temporary oasis they built in the desert.

just need to go faster than 155 and you'll never be caught by it. It'll run out of battery trying to chase you

Enjoy reading the comments, very appropriate.

Seriously?!

zamboni · 03-11-2015, 10:46 AM

They need all the exotic PD cars to pursuit the bad drivers seriously?

psuibmw · 03-11-2015, 11:05 AM

I see all negativity in the comments above when u guys - me included - are just doing the same ... I would love to add more Bimmers to my fleet .. Everyone is doing it at his own level/scale ... Stereotyping politics etc. has no place here

Tommy_hf · 03-11-2015, 11:23 AM

155 mph... still faster than the average cop in his Taurus, dunno what US police is trying to chase then, must be pedestrians then. And then there's the radio, hello collegue, set up a road block please, unless you want to let the Veyron out this time :-)

mshab356 · 03-11-2015, 11:26 AM

Lol

MalibuBimmer · 03-11-2015, 11:29 AM

Shoving the perp into the back seat after an arrest is going to be a challenge.

954Stealth · 03-11-2015, 11:33 AM

This is a good angle

paddyrx8 · 03-11-2015, 11:52 AM

It's me Mario, widda my brother Luigi, I godda nice new car, Ehh!

Might find it hard to keep up with some of the other cars in the fleet.

unless you too are resorting to near slavery conditions to build your "oasis in the desert" than please do not compare my hard earned money to theirs.
I too believe i have too many cars but hey you only live once. But Dubai? Sorry I too believe politics should be left out of these forums but I could not let that comment go by. No offense btw

dclowd9901 · 03-11-2015, 01:50 PM

They buy things like 20 year olds with trust funds. I can almost understand a 200+mph supercar in a police fleet where locals have these cars aplenty, but I just don't understand this.
