If you get hurt in Dubai, you might see a very fast car arrive on the scene before any real ambulance.

Most governments are pretty strapped for cash and don’t have so much money that they can spend millions on outfitting their services with expensive supercars. Not Dubai. Dubai is the only place in the world where the government literally has more money than they know what to do with. So they spend it on ridiculous things, such as extremely fast cars.

For the Dubai police service, this makes at least a tiny bit of sense: if everyone else in Dubai are driving extremely fast cars, then the cops will need to drive similar cars in order to catch them. But medical services? How exactly are you supposed to transport a patient to the hospital in the back of a Chevy Corvette?

As it turns out, you’re not. These two new cars for the Dubai Ambulance Services are mostly going to serve as showpieces and to patrol tourist areas with some first responder’s equipment. Think of a glorified first-aid kit, but also some CPR equipment, some oxygen tanks, and some head and neck stabilizers for car accident victims.

Both the Nissan GT-R and Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport have quite a bit more room than the average supercar, so they can fit all that equipment and still have two first-responders inside. The Dubai Ambulance Services Instagram even said that these fast cars would allow them to arrive at the scene of an accident in as little as 4 minutes, which is pretty impressive.

That said, you’d think that maybe a fleet of helicopters would be a better use of their money? Maybe Dubai already has a fleet of helicopters. They seem to have everything else.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, the Dubai Police Department already has a fleet of supercars that includes an Audi R8, Bugatti Veyron, Lamborghini Aventador, McLaren MP4-12C, and an Aston Martin One-77. They've got more, but the Ferrari 458 is currently in the shop.
