Lotus Emeya S, welcome to the Dubai Police fleet

Considering it has a Bugatti Veyron in its fleet, Dubai’s police department can confidently claim the title of coolest lineup of crim-busting cars in the world, and now it's taking a strong interest in the British stuff too. And no, we aren’t talking about a 56-reg Astra diesel. 

Y’see, the Middle East’s most boujee blues and twos team has now taken delivery of its second all-electric Lotus; an Emeya S which follows in the footsteps of an Eletre R that was purchased last year. Must remember that Lotus has now removed the S and R monikers for new Emeyas and Eletres, though. Anyway, the saloon will join the Tourist Police Department, so its job will be to silently prowl around popular attractions like the Burj Khalifa. 

The Dubai Police also says this addition highlights the importance it places on employing sustainable vehicles, and the forward-thinking approach it shows. It might also be because the Emeya is… really rather quick. The dual-motor powertrain sends 603bhp and 524lb ft of torque to all four wheels, allowing for a 4.2s sprint to 62mph. Not quite as quick as a 56-reg Astra diesel, obviously, but we can let that slide.

The cool livery more than makes up for that. It combines a glossy white body with dark green vinyls and black trim elements, including black alloys. Reckon this is a good hire for Dubai's police force?
