Apparently Dubai is running out of things to do with all its supercars, because now its turning the darn things into ambulances.It seems like a skit out of Top Gear — we cant help but think of Jeremy Clarkson piloting a Porsche 944 to the aid of some poor schmuck with a severed artery, but the vehicles Dubais adding to its paramedics services fleet are obviously more capable than a 30-year-old four-cylinder Porsche.In fact, the three new vehicles doled out to the forces first responders will be a Chevrolet C7 Corvette, a Nissan GT-R and a Range Rover. No trims are specified for the vehicles, but the Range Rover will be a dedicated female responder, staffed by an all-female EMT team. (Some conservative families in the kingdom dont allow men to treat women patients.)Without thinking too hard about it, this seems like a great plan for first responders who need to get to the scene as quickly as possible. In a life-and-death situation, seconds really do count, and the launch control in the Nissan GT-R should help nicely with cutting back on those seconds. In reality, the vehicles wont be used too often for actual emergencies. Instead, theyll likely be carted around to special events and used as demonstration vehicles. Wed expect theyll be fully staffed by professionals should a problem arise, but theyre not a total solution.The ambulance fleets siblings in the Dubai police force include some even more serious performers, like a Bugatti Veyron, a LaFerrari and an Aston Martin
