The Dubai Police Force has a plethora of supercars and other exotics in its fleet and now ambulance crews have a supercar of their own, namely a special Lykan Hypersport. The unusual emergency vehicle has been unveiled at the ongoing ‘Expo 2020’ event being held in the city and is being referred to as the ‘HyperSport Responder.’ While it obviously doesn’t have the ability to transport patients like a traditional ambulance, they claim it will be used in other emergency situations.
The Lykan has been outfitted with a striking livery of white
and red and also includes various slogans, including one that reads “Dubai, the
world’s best city to live in,” the Khaleej Times reports.
Interestingly, the police department in the neighboring city
of Abu Dhabi picked up the keys to a Lykan Hypersport in mid-2019. Given that
just 7 examples of the Hypersport were ever produced, it’s certainly possible
that the new ‘HyperSport Responder’ to be used by paramedics in Dubai is the same
car that once served police duties in Abu Dhabi.
Powering the car is a 3.7-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six
sourced from Ruf that pumps out 740 hp. This is allegedly enough to send the
HyperSport to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and through to a 395
km/h top speed.
