Dubai Police expanded its fleet with Lamborghini Urus Performante

The Lamborghini Urus Performante is a lighter and more powerful version of the most famous Lamborghini SUV, which arrived on the market in mid-2022, with a price of 218,487 euros. Soon, he became part of the Italian police force, and now he has joined the Dubai Police as well.

Dubai is known for a large number of super powerful and fast cars, and the police force of this emirate tries to respond to the task to ensure better traffic safety and prevent those who like to press the gas pedal more than necessary. Urus Performante is definitely a car that can answer all tasks, and it was delivered during the Dubai Airshow.

Major General Ahmed Mohammed bin Thani said the Urus Performante will support the Dubai Police in better serving the public, maintaining security and providing services at popular tourist destinations.

Compared to the standard Urus, the Performante is equipped with wide wheel arches, a new front and rear bumper that lengthen the Performante by an additional 25 mm, a roof spoiler with carbon wings, an Akrapovič exhaust system, a new diffuser, a differential that distributes torque more efficiently and a recalibrated front wheel steering system increases the downforce of the car by an additional 8 percent and improves its performance. There is also a green and white livery with a police logo.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Lamborghini Urus Performante is powered by a 4.0L biturbo V8 engine with 657 hp (490 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 190 mph (306 km/h). Power is sent to all wheels via an eight-speed automatic gearbox with limited slip central differential.

In 1998, Lamborghini started building a special car, the Diablo SV Roadster. It was a combination of the Diablo SV in the configuration of the Diablo VT Roadster, and the manufacturer planned to produce only 20 examples.

This Diablo SV Roadster is powered by a 5.7L V12 engine with 530 hp (395 kW) and 445 lb-ft (605 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission.

The car is finished in the striking combination of Roadster Giallo over Nero “Torpedo” Alcantara.
