In a city of boundless bling, Dubai police are in hot pursuit after adding a £360,000 Lamborghini to their fleet. The sports car, painted in the green and white livery of the Dubai force, will probably not be roaring after law-breakers.

Local media reports said the Italian-made Lamborghini Aventador is the crown jewel of a wider upgrade in Dubai police wheels. The force is adding some American Camaros.

Dubai is seeking to show that it has rebounded from its debt crisis with brash plans that include the world’s largest Ferris wheel and a satellite city named after the city-state’s ruler.
