The Dubai police force"s toybox grows ever larger. Earlier this month, Top Gear brought you news of the hoverbike newly added to the fleet of supercars that purport to fill the ranks of Dubai"s finest. Now, a bespoke mega-4x4 has joined the force. It"s called the Ghiath, and though it"s apparently based on humble Chevrolet Suburban underpinnings, it"s had a thorough reworking inside and out courtesy of W Motors, the Dubai-based supercar maker responsible for the low-volume Lykan Hypersport. Small wonder this Ghiath contraption looks so angry. The angular bodywork may be an attempt to scare crooks into going straight. The suicide doors might be an attempt to fool them they"re in a Rolls-Royce Cullinan. But by far the standout feature of the Ghiath is its facial recognition capabilities. People of an uneasy Orwellian disposition, look away now.
