Dubai Police take delivery of high powered SUV

The Dubai Police have taken delivery of yet another over the top patrol vehicle, a 700hp off-roader.

The Dubai Police have taken delivery of yet another over the top patrol vehicle. Unveiled at the 2013 Dubai Motor Show, the Brabus B63-S 700 Widestar is a 700hp version of the already quite potent Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG off-roader.

Wearing a wide body kit and rolling on 23-inch alloys, the tuned G-Wagen is said to hit 100km/h in 4.9 seconds and tops out at 250km/h - perfect for high-speed pursuits through the desert.

The Brabus SUV will be used to promote the "Tune It! Safe!" campaign, which started in Germany as a way to encourage drivers to modify their cars in a safe and legal manner. The program is being exported to the United Arab Emirates where locals have a penchant for modifying their already high performance cars.

While Gardaí are likely drooling over their Middle East counterpart's latest acquisition the Widestar looks positively mundane compared to some of the other cars in the Dubai Police motor pool, which includes a Lamborghini Aventador, Aston Martin One-77 and even a Bugatti Veyron.
