2023 marked the year of Lamborghini's 60th anniversary, and the Italian company was keen to see its products just about everywhere, including the Police forces of various states.
If we remember correctly, a Lamborghini Urus isn't precisely the type of vehicle you would want to mess with. Its imposing figure, wedge-shaped design, and the twin-turbo V8 sitting under the hood are all very good reasons not to engage in a brawl. Of course, some are keen to try and overcome its super-SUV powers by using more powerful vehicles.
However, that won't be a very good idea when the Lamborghini Urus is dressed in police livery. After all, you might outrun the super-SUV if you have enough horsepower and skill behind the steering wheel – but you'll never outrun the radio waves of police stations! Anyway, it seems there's a recent infusion of police-dressed Lambo Urus models.
Late last year, we read about Lamborghini's latest collaboration with Italy's "Polizia di Stato" – they have been partners for no less than two decades, and the Sant'Agata Bolognese automaker has prepared an Urus Performante for the Italian Highway Police that will enter service in 2024 after it was presented in a special event held in Rome. Now, there's yet another Urus Performante going into service with the long arm of the law – halfway around the world.
So, we move to the UAE (United Arab Emirates), where the Lamborghini Dubai dealership also continues its successful collaboration with the Dubai Police and recently delivered its own Urus Performante. That's a welcome change from the recent news about Lamborghini, which was all about the virtual world as of late – the Telemetry X concept presented at CES 2024, Lambo's '60th Digital Parade,' or the launch of the Lanzador all-electric concept for Roblox!
Anyway, during yet another special ceremony – this time held during the Dubai Airshow 2023 at the end of the year - Automobili Lamborghini Middle East and Africa's boss Paolo Sartori gave the keys to the special Lambo Urus Performante super-SUV to Major General Ahmed Mohammed bin Thani, acting commander-in-chief of Dubai Police. Paolo Sartori said: "We are delighted to continue our collaboration with Dubai Police, supporting them in their crucial public safety mission. Following our delivery of an Urus to the force in 2022, this new Urus Performante edition will be used to carry out a range of public duties and, above all, will help enhance the city's security and safety, with this initiative further demonstrating our brand's longstanding presence here in the UAE."
Featuring the same twin-turbo V8 as the regular Urus, the Performante now has 666 ps (657 hp) and 850 Nm (627 lb-ft), allowing the super-SUV to reach a top speed of 306 kph (190 mph) and sprint to 62 mph (100 kph) in just 3.3 seconds. Of course, this particular example doesn't look or act exactly like any other high-performance crossover – it wears the Dubai Police livery, the rear spoiler has a blue 360° LED light bar, plus an electric siren. Meanwhile, the cockpit has many "Dubai Police essentials," like an armored gun box, a fold-down message display, a special compartment in the trunk for storing service equipment, and a defibrillator for first aid response.
