That's a high-speed chase! Dubai police's Bugatti Veyron supercar which can reach 253mph is officially declared the fastest cop car in the world
- The United Arab Emirates officers have added the German vehicle to their group of 14 supercars
- The second fastest police car is the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, which is owned by the Italian force
- As well as collecting a range of superfast vehicles, Dubai police want to have a fleet of electric or hybrid cars
If you were to see a sleek Bugatti Veyron speed through the streets of Dubai, you might not expect the driver to be the one doing the chasing.
But the vehicle is the latest addition to the force's line of supercars and has been declared the fastest police car in the world, reaching speeds of 253mph.
Dubai police own 14 superfast cars, including a limited edition Aston Martin One-77, a Lamborghini Aventador and Ferrari FF.
The line of cars was launched in 2013 to help improve the public image of the police force, according to CNN.
The vehicles are mainly used to drive around tourist areas as a marketing tool.
But officers now want to cement their eco-friendly credentials and plan to have electric and hybrid cars make up a quarter of the government fleet by 2030.
The second fastest police car is the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, which is owned by the Italian force.
