Dubai Police will use Rolls-Royce Cullinan

Leave a comment

Dubai Police has perhaps the most expensive fleet of any police force in the world, and the new car that will be used on the roads of this Emirate is a modified Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

The car was modified by one of the best tuning companies Mansory and is not the first to be upgraded by this company. The first was the Mercedes-Benz G63 that became part of the Dubai Police force a few years ago.

The car is finished in a combination of white and dark green, like other police vehicles in Dubai. Besides the front bumper with a carbon splitter, wide wheel arches and a set of special rims, it is not known what other modifications Mansory has installed.

What we know for now is that the Rolls-Royce Cullinan is powered by a 6.75-L twin-turbo V12 engine with 619 hp, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all wheels.

The car was presented at the Dubai World Trade Center, and it is currently unknown for what duties it will be used. Dubai Police are looking to increase their presence at the city’s most visited sites such as the Burj Khalifa and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard.

Buying expensive cars in the US has become risky

Buying a new car in the United States has become risky, especially if the car is being shipped long distances. Delivery can take a long time, and car thieves use this to steal expensive models. One such case occurred recently when a Rolls-Royce Dawn convertible worth $ 300,000 was stolen.

The car was purchased in Florida and was supposed to be delivered to a buyer in Detroit. However, the Rolls-Royce Dawn never arrived, despite being purchased on January 18. The buyer, Nader Eldamouni, was left without a car that he wanted to add to his collection of cars that includes Lamborghinis, Rolls-Royce Phantoms and Mercedes-Benz G-Classes.

In 2024, a thief broke into the systems of the delivery company Dealer’s Choice Auto Transport, and saw the delivery schedule and contact information of the drivers. “The criminal hacked the driver’s portal and knew which vehicles were being transported and where they were being transported. He contacted the driver posing as the customer and gave him new information with instructions on where to deliver the car,” Steven Yariv told WSVN.

The thief stole several luxury cars in this way, such as a Mercedes GLS600 Maybach ($200,000) and a Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV ($400,000).

Unfortunately, these are not the only cases, as a similar incident also occurred with a Houston customer who bought a Ferrari in New York, but it was delivered to an unknown person in Miami.
