The Chevrolet Camaro SS has joined the Dubai Police fleet of vehicles, becoming the first Camaro to be used by officers in the Middle East.
"The Camaro is highly regarded around the world. It is the ideal car for Dubai Police as we look to upgrade our vehicles to meet the Emirate's world renowned standards in safety and security," said Dubai Deputy Police Chief Major General Khamis Mattar Al Mazeina according to GM.
The SS is powered by a 6.2L V8 engine, and boasts a power output of 426 horsepower and 567 Nm of torque according to GM.
With a top speed of 250 km/h and acceleration of 0-100 in just 4.7 seconds, GM feels the new Camaro is the perfect addition to the Dubai Police force.
"We are delighted to be the first to respond to the Dubai Police's request for assistance in adding high performance patrol cars to their fleet. We felt that the Camaro would be the right vehicle for their needs," said Buti Saeed Al Ghandi, managing director of Al Ghandi Auto, which is General Motors' dedicated Chevrolet dealer partner in Dubai according to GM.
The Chevrolet Camaro has been a huge success in the Middle East sports car market, and was named the "Best Muscle Car" from 2009 through 2012 by a number of different automotive publications according to GM.
The Camaro ZL1 was named "Muscle Car of the Year 2012" by Evo Middle East magazine this past February.
"We are confident that the Camaro's ability to respond rapidly, by virtue of its high performance V8 engine, coupled with its practical suitability for Dubai's roads and ease of servicing, will make it an ideal patrol car for years to come," said Al Ghandi according to GM.
