Dubai Police first inducted a Bentley into its fleet over a decade ago. It has since inducted supercars such as the Bugatti Veyron, Aston Martin One-77, Lamborghini Aventador, and a Brabus Mercedes-Benz G-class. More recently, Dubai Police has also onboarded electric vehicles such as the Hongqi E-HS9 luxury SUV and Audi e-tron GT.
