Dubai Police has added the Lamborghini Temerario, a new 920hp plug-in hybrid supercar, to its tourist patrol fleet. The car will be used in prominent visitor areas and public events, where Dubai Police’s distinctive luxury patrol vehicles serve both operational and public-engagement roles.
ARN News reported that the Temerario joins the force in Dubai Police livery, continuing a long-running approach of deploying high-profile cars in destinations popular with residents, visitors and motoring enthusiasts.
Dubai Police unveils the Lamborghini Temerario as its newest patrol supercar
The Temerario is Lamborghini’s replacement for the Huracán and one of the first examples of the model to appear in an official police fleet. It combines a newly developed twin-turbocharged V8 engine with electric assistance, rather than using the naturally aspirated V10 associated with the Huracán.

Gulf News reported that the patrol car produces 920hp, placing it among the most powerful vehicles in Dubai Police’s already extraordinary collection.
What makes the Temerario's hybrid powertrain so powerful?
The Temerario uses a plug-in hybrid setup that combines combustion and electric power. Its powertrain is built around a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, supported by three electric motors and a lithium-ion battery.
- Combined output: 920hp
- Engine: 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8
- Hybrid system: Three electric motors and a rechargeable battery
- Layout: Electrified all-wheel-drive performance system
- Role in Lamborghini range: Successor to the Huracán
Electric motors can provide immediate torque from low speeds, while the V8 supplies sustained performance as revs rise. For a patrol car used primarily in controlled public-facing settings, the system is as much a technology showcase as it is a performance package.
The hybrid layout also reflects Lamborghini’s wider move towards electrification. The Temerario follows the V12 Revuelto in bringing electric assistance to a core Lamborghini supercar, although the two models use very different engines and roles within the range.
How the Temerario joins Dubai Police's existing luxury and supercar fleet
Dubai Police’s luxury patrol fleet includes supercars, grand tourers and high-end SUVs from several manufacturers. Over the years, vehicles such as Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bugatti, McLaren, Aston Martin and Bentley models have appeared in its white-and-green patrol specification.
The Temerario is particularly notable because it represents a current-generation hybrid supercar, rather than an older collector model. It gives the fleet a link to the latest direction of high-performance car development.
For background on how this fleet developed from a novel idea into a recognisable part of the city’s image, see how Dubai Police turned supercars into patrol cars.
Why Dubai Police uses high-performance cars for tourist areas
These vehicles are not intended to replace regular patrol cars across the city. Conventional police vehicles remain the practical choice for routine response, transport duties and neighbourhood policing.
Supercars are generally used in high-visibility locations, tourism zones, major events and public-awareness initiatives. Their appearance encourages visitors to approach officers, take photographs and engage with road-safety messaging in a relaxed setting.
- They create a visible police presence in busy visitor locations.
- They support public engagement at events and attractions.
- They promote safe-driving campaigns to an audience interested in performance cars.
- They reinforce Dubai’s global reputation for automotive culture and luxury tourism.
That positioning fits naturally in a city with a strong enthusiast scene, high-end dealer network and year-round calendar of motoring activity. Dubai’s wider appeal to collectors and performance-car owners is explored in how Dubai became one of the world’s supercar capitals.

Role of Lamborghini Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the handover
The vehicle was handed over with the involvement of Lamborghini Abu Dhabi and Dubai, reflecting the close public profile that premium automotive brands maintain in the UAE. The handover also gives the Temerario a highly visible local debut before the model becomes a more familiar sight on regional roads.
Emirates 24|7 described the addition as a boost to the tourist patrol fleet, underlining that the car’s primary purpose is public visibility rather than routine high-speed enforcement.
As with other specialist vehicles in the collection, the Temerario will require manufacturer-approved care and trained personnel. Its hybrid system, high-voltage components and low ground clearance make it very different from a standard fleet saloon or SUV.
What this addition signals about Dubai's policing and tourism image
The Temerario continues Dubai Police’s use of memorable vehicles as part of a broader visitor-facing identity. A marked Lamborghini has instant international recognition, particularly on social media and around landmarks where tourists expect to see unusual cars.
The choice of a hybrid model is also meaningful. Rather than adding only a traditional high-displacement supercar, Dubai Police has selected a vehicle that represents the industry’s transition towards electrified performance.
Motor1 noted that the Temerario has been added specifically for tourist patrol duties. That distinction matters, as the car is designed to be seen, photographed and used for outreach as much as it is to perform official patrol work.
