Aston Martin Vantage joins Dubai Police fleet

The famed supercar fleet of Dubai Police has got yet another exotic addition, with the Aston Martin Vantage joining it this week.

The Dubai Police Vantage features a custom ‘77’ number plate, in a nod to the UAE’s seven emirates as well as the British marque’s long-standing association with James Bond.

“It is an honour to have an Aston Martin join Dubai Police’s fleet of supercars and the Vantage is the perfect model to make such a statement; purity at its finest, a hint of aggression and engineering that pushes it to upwards of 300 km/hr. We are grateful to the team at Dubai Police, and especially HE Lieutenant General Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, Commander-in-Chief, for bringing this partnership to life,” said Ramzi Atat, Head of Marketing and Communications MENA, Aston Martin.

The Aston Martin Vantage is powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine that’s good for 503bhp and 505lb-ft of torque. Mated to a rear-mounted eight-speed automatic ZF gearbox, it does 0-100kph in just 3.5 seconds, and hits a top speed of 314kph. The Dubai Police Vantage will be showcased alongside other models in the force’s fleet at the EXPO 2020 next month.
