Dubai Police have added a Lotus Eletre R to its high-powered fleet of tourist patrol cars.
The vehicle, which generates 905 horsepower, is recognised as the fastest dual-motor electric SUV among versatile sports cars. It has a range of up to 600km.
It was presented to Brig Khalfan Al Jallaf, director of Dubai Tourist Police, complete with the force’s familiar green branding.
He emphasised the force’s readiness to bolster its security presence in key tourist sites including Burj Khalifa, JBR and Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard.
Brig Al Jallaf said officers driving the vehicle will deliver a range of services to the public, including raising awareness of the community role played by Dubai Police.
The addition of the Lotus Eletre R is the latest in a line of impressive vehicles to be added to the fleet.
In December, a McLaren Artura supercar joined the force’s impressive fleet of patrol vehicles, hot on the heels of a Lamborghini Urus Performante.
The Urus Performante has a four-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, boasting 666 horsepower and can accelerate from zero to 100kph in under 3.3 seconds.

Sharrie Williams
The American singer is hugely respected in blues circles due to her passionate vocals and songwriting. Born and raised in Michigan, Williams began recording and touring as a teenage gospel singer. Her career took off with the blues band The Wiseguys. Such was the acclaim of their live shows that they toured throughout Europe and in Africa. As a solo artist, Williams has also collaborated with the likes of the late Dizzy Gillespie, Van Morrison and Mavis Staples.
Lin Rountree
An accomplished smooth jazz artist who blends his chilled approach with R‘n’B. Trained at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington, DC, Rountree formed his own band in 2004. He has also recorded with the likes of Kem, Dwele and Conya Doss. He comes to Dubai on the back of his new single Pass The Groove, from his forthcoming 2018 album Stronger Still, which may follow his five previous solo albums in cracking the top 10 of the US jazz charts.
Anita Williams
Dubai-based singer Anita Williams will open the night with a set of covers and swing, jazz and blues standards that made her an in-demand singer across the emirate. The Irish singer has been performing in Dubai since 2008 at venues such as MusicHall and Voda Bar. Her Jazz Garden appearance is career highlight as she will use the event to perform the original song Big Blue Eyes, the single from her debut solo album, due for release soon.
