Now, we all know Dubai’s lifestyle is something out of this world. As far as the vehicles they drive for emergencies are concerned, United Arab Emirates’ biggest city easily qualifies as the world’s best out there. The Dubai Police fleet includes beauties such as Bugatti Veyron, Mercedes G63 AMG, Aston Martin One-77, Ferrari 458, Lamborghini Aventador and plenty of others. And this are not even all the vehicles they use, since the city’s Police has been constantly updating its supercar fleet.

As to the Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Service, things are quite similar. They’ve recently added a Lotus Evora, introducing it as a First Responder. Even though people argued this decision considering it’s a two-seater, Dubai authorities claim the sportscar has the aim to help emergency responders halve the time in which they reach an emergency.

Yes, luxurious sports cars used as average cabs. We’re talking Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini and even an AMG G-Class Limo. According to Emirates247, the herd of expensive cars will be driven into the spotlight as part of the Dubai Motor Festival, which runs from November 19th until December 6th.

Free rides, everybody!

They won’t be able to leave town and will only roll in well-heeled areas such as mall parking lots and tourist landmarks across the city. But what is really amazing is that they will even offer free one-way rides. Well, amazing for normal people that are not used to Dubai’s opulent lifestyle, that is.

The service will operate on the weekends of November 21-22, 28-29 and December 5-6. “The Supercar Taxi will offer tourists and residents a dream experience like no other. The idea behind this was to celebrate people’s passion for motoring,” director of Dubai Motor Festival Jin Chwen Ong explained. According to him, if the results prove it’s worth it, they will extend the project beyond the weekends.

In case you’re wondering how the selecting process functions, it turns out that passengers will be chosen randomly, as the process is still being ironed out. Now, the only thing you need to do is to go to Dubai...
