From Michigan to Dubai, here’s a look at the world’s fastest police cars!

Chevrolet Camaro SS (Dubai)

Introduced in Dubai in May 2013, the sleek Chevrolet Camaro SS allows Dubai Police officers to cruise down the streets with great speed and style.

The car is powered by 6.2 liters V8 engine capable of a staggering 426 horsepower and can reach 0 to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds. It has a top speed of about 250 km/h. In 2012, the Chevrolet Camaro SS was also praised as one of the Best Muscle Cars on the market by various car magazines.

Lexus IS-F (England)

The car features a 5.0 Liters engine capable of 416 horsepower and has been modified to add high-tech equipment like a computer platform, four cameras and an advanced radio system. Thanks to its amazing braking and handling capabilities as well as the ease with which it reaches 0 to 100 km/h, the car can go toe-to-toe with the high-powered sports cars favoured by local criminals.

Audi R8 GTR (Germany)

In Germany, some police officers are allowed to pilot custom Audi R8 GTR, beautiful cars that have been tuned by professionals with auto mechanic training to make them lighter and faster. The Audi R8 GTR’s are equipped with carbon fiber parts that reduce their weight. They also have racing seats and an upgraded engine, which can reach up to 620 horsepower.
