Dubai Police have added a Lamborghini Temerario to their luxury tourist patrol fleet. Unveiled on 14 October 2026 in partnership with Lamborghini Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the hybrid supercar will be used in busy public locations and visitor destinations. Its principal purpose is to make officers more visible and encourage interaction with residents and tourists.
The announcement does not describe a specialised high-speed pursuit vehicle. Police officials instead emphasise public engagement, safety awareness and the opportunity for visitors to speak directly with officers. The striking machinery helps draw attention, but that attention serves a defined community-facing role.
Twin-turbo V8 with electric assistance
The Temerario combines a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 with three electric motors. Lamborghini quotes 920 metric horsepower for the combined system, a 0-100 km/h time of 2.7 seconds and a maximum speed of 343 km/h. These are the manufacturer's specifications for the production car, not independently measured results for Dubai's police vehicle.
The powertrain also marks a change from the naturally aspirated V10 engines associated with earlier Lamborghini supercars. For the public-facing patrol fleet, the new arrival brings one of the company's latest electrified performance models into official service. The announcement provides no indication that it was modified to produce additional power.
A patrol vehicle intended to be seen
Brigadier Saeed Al Hajri, head of Dubai Police's General Department of Criminal Investigation, stressed how luxury patrols can combine a visible security presence with community interaction. Colonel Mohammad Abdulrahman Abdulwahid, director of the Tourist Police Department, linked the fleet's development to partnerships with private companies.
Martino Picotti, general manager of Lamborghini Abu Dhabi and Dubai, said the Temerario continued the dealer's collaboration with the force. Vehicles in this programme typically appear at popular attractions and other busy areas, where residents and visitors can ask questions about policing and safety.
Dubai's new Temerario should not be confused with the example delivered to Italy's Polizia di Stato in September 2026. The Italian car has a mission that includes transporting organs for transplantation. Dubai's stated emphasis is tourist policing and public contact.
The acquisition cost, any modifications for police duty and detailed operational arrangements have not been disclosed. The confirmed development is the addition of the hybrid V8 Lamborghini to the tourist patrol fleet.
