Dubai Police has added the 2021 Toyota GR Supra to its high-profile supercar fleet.
The car was provided by Al-Futtaim Automotive, the exclusive distributor of Toyota in the UAE, and a long-term partner of Dubai Police.
The inclusion of the 2021 GR Supra in the awe inspiring fleet, “which is used to promote the Dubai Police both locally and internationally, reinforces its position as one of the most sought after sportscars since its return after a 17-year wait,” said Al-Futtaim Automotive in a statement.
The full power GR Supra is not readily available in some markets, notably in Europe, where it has been restricted due to the Euro 6 emission rules. Dubai Police drivers, however, will be able to tap into the 3.0L longitudinally-mounted, in-line turbocharged six-cylinder engine power to hit the 100km/h mark in just 4.1 seconds.
It’s 8-speed automatic transmission will “easily accelerate” to an electronically limited top speed of 250km/h, said Dubai Police.
At a handover held in the presence of senior officials from both organisations including Yousuf Al Raeesi, director, Gov’t Affairs & HSSE at Al-Futtaim Motors, Brig. Dr. Mohamed Al Razooqi, general director – General Department of Transport & Rescue at Dubai Police said the increase of high powered supercars to the department’s fleet is due to the positive feedback from the citizens and media.
He added: “We are constantly looking for ways to connect with the public. We’re not trying to show off with these cars, even though the Supra is quite the head-turner, rather we want to show both tourists and residents alike how friendly the police are across the city.”
Dubai Police has a long-term partnership with Al-Futtaim Toyota and is currently using the Toyota Fortuner, Prado and FJ Cruiser as part of its standard fleet.
