The luxury car fleet of Dubai Police just got bigger and better with the addition of Alfa Romeo's Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio.

In addition to their powerful engines, both models feature carbon fibre roofs, placing them amongst the lightest vehicles in their segments.

The cars also feature an active aero front splitter which optimises downforce support to increase driving agility.

The Giulia Quadrifoglio is considered the fastest mass-produced 5-seater car in the world, while the Stelvio Quadrifoglio currently holds the world record for the fastest SUV lap around the iconic Nürburgring circuit.

Both models, which feature V6 engines deliver 510 hp and acceleration speeds from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 3.9 seconds, setting new standards in their respective segments.

The cars are a unique addition to Dubai Tourist Police’s luxury fleet, bringing its total number of cars to thirty-one.

"By adding premium cars to its luxury car patrol fleet, The Dubai Police General Command aims to elevate the presence of police officers in key touristic destinations and other locations," said Brigadier Jamal Al Jallaf, Director of the General Department of Criminal Investigation (CID).

"The vehicles will be deployed in key tourist locations, assisting officers in providing a number of services, including counselling and information provision, further highlighting Dubai Police’s role in social responsibility," explained Colonel Dr. Mubarak Saeed Salim Bin Nawas Al Ketbi, Director of Dubai Tourist Police.
