This isn't a desert mirage, but it is the Dubai Police Force’s shimmering new ride.
The emirate is known for its opulent lifestyle and its police force often have cars to match its persona.
Its latest machine is the Mansory-tweaked Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
The luxurious high roller follows in the footsteps of some seriously high-powered machines that have worn the Middle Eastern police force’s green and white livery, such as the Lamborghini Aventador, Mercedes-AMG G63 and Bugatti Veyron.
The bespoke Rolls-Royce Cullinan has been customised by Mansory, known for its outrageous takes on top-flight supercars.
The price? Well, how long is a piece of string?
Masonry Cullinan’s can retail anywhere from $1.5m to $2m according to online reports, which would put it at the extremely pointy end of the police car scale.
This Cullinan has carbon fibre and aluminium components added and has been fitted with high-end displays and technologies, according to the Dubai Police.
It isn’t expected to be used in general duties policing but rather joins the flashy Tourist Police Department.
This Cullinan is powered by a beefy 6.75-litre V12 engine that makes 454kW which has a top speed of 280km/h and can sprint to 100km/h from a standstill in five seconds flat.
Mansory boss, Mr Kourosh Mansory, said: “We are proud to mark our second collaboration with Dubai Police. Our latest creation—the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, a one-of-a-kind edition tailored specifically for Dubai Police—reflects our shared commitment to innovation, excellence, and leadership in the automotive world."
It is the second Mansory custom vehicle handed over to the Dubai Police. A Mercedes-AMG G63 that has about 540kW and a 0-100km/h time of 3.7 has also been enlisted in the past.
