Dubai Police has expanded its already remarkable collection of high-performance vehicles with a specially prepared Ferrari 812 Superfast. Officials revealed the car on September 14 at the Arabian Travel Market inside the Dubai World Trade Centre. Brigadier Omar Ali Al Shehhi, Assistant Director-General of the General Department of Criminal Investigation for Criminal Security Affairs, handled the unveiling alongside Colonel Mohammed Abdul Rahman of the Tourist Police Department and Mansory founder Kourosh Mansory.
This is the fifth project that Dubai Police and its German partner have completed together. They’ve already worked on a number of high-performance automobiles, including a Mercedes-AMG G 63, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, a Ferrari Purosangue, and a Lamborghini Revuelto, which they completed earlier this year. The 812 Superfast has now joined that group, however it serves a specific purpose in the tourist regions surrounding the Burj Khalifa, along Sheik Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard, and at Jumeirah Beach Residence.

The 812 Superfast was released in 2017, and production ended in 2024. It features a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine, which is essentially an old-school beast that was phased out when Ferrari began making hybrid engines more readily available. According to the spec sheet, the 812 produces approximately 789 mechanical horsepower, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, and peaks out at 340 km/h. The Dubai Police car, on the other hand, has 800 horsepower, accelerates to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds, and has a top speed of 345 km/h. When considering the data Ferrari presented, taking into account the standard unit conversions and minor variances that arise in real-world testing, everything is rather consistent. Mansory performed a Stallone program on some private 812s, claiming even greater power, but it appears that this one is more about looking good than making a power play.
Mansory added a full complement of carbon fiber bodywork. It can be seen in the front bumper and deeper splitter with yellow accents, as well as the redesigned grille. There are carbon air vents on the hood and behind the front wheels. The automobile is powered by Mansory’s black Yavin wheels, which have excellent yellow brake calipers. The new side skirts make it look more menacing. Out back, there’s a fixed wing, a unique diffuser with yellow detailing, and a third brake light that looks like it came directly from F1. Dubai plates with the ‘812’ logo complete the outfit. The entire operation is wrapped in the Dubai police force’s regular white and green livery, but with some black and yellow added for visibility against the cityscape.
The lights and insignia make this grand tourer look more like a show car than a tool for tracking down criminals. The 812 is still a two-seater with a front-mid engine and rear drive; it has no room for gear or prisoners, and it’s mostly intended to be a noticeable presence in tourist locations where people have their cameras ready at all times. To be honest, Dubai police have been employing these kind of cars for years since they believe they are a terrific way to get their image out there and make the department appear cool.
