The Dubai Police Force Gets Its First Hybrid Car: the BMW i8
It was only a few days ago when we told you about the Abu Dhabi police force recruiting a Rolls-Royce Phantom in their fleet of cars. Now there's news of the Dubai police gaining a new member; they've just taken delivery of a BMW i8.
The BMW i8 joins a generous range of supercars, which includes the Bugatti Veyron, Aston Martin One-77 and the Lamborghini Aventador. Interestingly, this will be the first hybrid car in the fleet which is any petrolheads dream come true.
