Lamborghini Gallardo Italian State Police Car

[McLareN]

(from Lamborghini Press Release) A Lamborghini Gallardo has been donated to the Italian State Police (Polizia di Stato) by Automobili Lamborghini SpA. The V10, 500 bhp 190 mph performance car has been liveried in the colours of the state police and includes a siren and flashing lights on the roof. This is the first time that a Lamborghini will be used by Italian police.

The Gallardo police car will be used by the traffic police (Polizia Stradale) during emergency situations on the Salerno-Reggio Calabria highway in southern Italy. It is equipped with apparatus to transmit and receive information and images in critical situations such as road traffic accidents, fires and other disaster situations. It will also be fitted with the Italian police’s Provida system which records traffic violations and sends images in real-time, and has a direct connection to the police database as well as the Elsag ‘Autodetector’ system for number plate recognition.

In addition, the Gallardo is equipped with first aid equipment including defibrillator apparatus with the capability to perform electrocardiograms, and automatic diagnosis of arterial pressure and the presence of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood. The car will also be used for the transportation of plasma and human organs for transplant.

The police’s use of their Lamborghini Gallardo won’t be limited to fair-weather driving: as well as the benefits of the Gallardo’s permanent four-wheel drive, during winter months it will also sport special ‘Sottozero’ snow tyres developed by Pirelli for Lamborghini.

wow, this is old. A great police car but this is very old

[nopassn]

in MclareN's defense, even though it is old, the two detail shots are pics I have not seen before...

[pimento]

I've heard about this. They park it at an entrance to the highway to deter speeding, though if they use it to pull someone over and arrest them, they have to wait for the police Fiats (I think they're Pandas) to catch up, because of the lack of a back seat in the Lambo.

I would like to see the day when an enzo came flying past the entrance, i think the lambo would definitly get owned. And as for the panda's... well....

[F1_Master]

Typhoon? Didn't TVR make a Typhoon?
I don't know alot about TVRs cars, but I'm guessing that's the one.

the enzo driver would be crazy to drive so fast that he owned the gallardo... and i dont think any enzo owners would risk going so fast.


oh...he will have to go over 192 mph to actually owned the gallardo... which is quite unlikely to happen on normal roads.

So if you get caught speeding you don't even get to ride to jail in the Lambo?! Rip-off.

has the typhoon ever been tested to reached 215mph or is it just an estimated top speed? cuz if it hasnt actually made 215 then I call BS on it.. 580hp and 215mph seems a little far fetched to me.. another thing is.. all these names are getting thown out there as uber fast and this and that.. but stuff like the ccr and the murcielago I wouldent be expecting to hit top marks.. the Gallardo is quicker and nimbler on the track than the murcie!! the ccr has never been "officially" tested.. and the cc8s had a 0-60 or in something like 8 secs or some crap like that so i dunno..
