Police Cars From Around The World

Nothing gets your heart beating faster than when you see red and blue lights coming from a Dodge Charger in your rearview mirror. At least, that’s the case in the United States, where vehicles like the Dodge Charger and various Ford SUVs are the primary choice for our men and women in blue.

Police cars need to be pretty muscular to handle the needs of the job. From high-speed pursuits to shootouts to simply creating a presence on the road, police vehicles need a lot of personality. That’s why choosing something like Dodge Charger makes sense.

Have you ever wondered what kinds of vehicles are used by the police in other countries? Here are some of the most exotic and interesting examples:

Dubai

When you think of Dubai, you often think of high-rise buildings, beautiful surroundings, and tons of wealth at every corner. This country’s choice of police car definitely keeps on theme. You’ll see a couple of options. The first is a BMW i8. This hybrid sports car is sure to catch up to anyone hoping to get away from the law.

The second is a Lamborghini Aventador. Dubai’s police are the only one in the country that uses Aventador supercars on the force. It might be because it’s fast, or it might be due to its unique style and ability; maybe a little of both. You might also see an Aston Martin with an officer behind the wheel.

Italy

Other countries may use fancy sportscars in their police departments, but Italy is where these vehicles are born. Whether criminals are trying to pull a capper in the big city or out in the Tuscan countryside, they have to compete with the Lamborghini Gallardo. With 560 horsepower, this beast is known for hitting zero to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds.

The United Kingdom

The UK may not be a physically large country, but it has a huge personality that easily makes its way to its police force. The UK has an impressive collection of Lotus Evora S vehicles to make sure every Bobby can keep up with speeders. Just the sight of one of these supercars is enough to make drivers check that their seatbelt is on correctly.

No UK police force would be complete without Britain’s own Jaguar XF. This beast isn’t just a favorite of the police, but it is also used as the official car for the Prime Minister.

The United States

While we’re already used to seeing Ford SUVs and Dodge Chargers dressed up with police insignias, American officers have also been using the Nissan GT-R. This recent addition to fleets in certain parts of the country is often used almost like a spy car. Undercover cops have a hard time blending in when they are driving something as gorgeous as the GT-R.
