The Dubai police have included another imposing vehicle to its already impressive fleet.

This time it’s something slightly more practical. The police must have looked at their line-up of supercars and decided that they needed something with a load-bin, so they got themselves a new 2015 GMC Sierra.

Not that the Sierra is the most practical bakkie around. The smallest engine you can have is 4,6-litres, but looking at the choices the police force have made so far, we’re betting they went for the full-fat 6,2-litre V8, which produces around 310kW.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
