Celica Forums General Discussion General Lamborghini cop car?

did you people hear about this that the cops in italy can have one sport car for emerancies. i read it a couple days ago in the newspaper and i saw it on the internet too
tell me what you think about it

i would say don't speed in italy

NOTE TO SELF: Drive only the McLaren while visiting Italy, then let them try to catch me!

^^ i agree, good choice...all i have to do is get one

kinda inaccurrate...i lambo's doors swings up...

they probally took then off so they could make a quick get out of their vehicle in case of an on-foot chase...instead of waiting for they doors to go up

or maybe it's a photo-chop ...lol a lambo as a chase car is ridiculous...the metal is so thin plus a damaged one would cost the station thousands to maintinence. they can get 5-6 quality chase cars for one...

The new Gallardo's DO NOT have the real Lambo doors (to save on costs).

^^EXACTLY.
Gallardo doors do not swing up.

The lettering looks fake...
The colors look PS'd...
Its fake...

^^ no it doesn't, not to me

a lambo was given to the italian police, i dont know if thats the exact one, but they would have no damage maintance on it, unless they crashed it, they could just drop it, no worries, because it didnt cause them anything.

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepost!

^^^ahhh...

if uve ever been to italy
ever one speeds anyway
the average speed is over
100MPH

Looks like a normal pick to me except for the cop on the left side getting out of the car, his right arm looks chopped, something smells fishy!!

yup thats the new lower end model Gallardo runs in the $200,000 to compete with the 360 modena..

that car is sick

Hi guys

I'm italian and unfortunately I have to say that this car is true...Lamoborghini made a present to the street police...
I'm lucky because they will use it only on the Salerno-Reggiocalabria highway that is in the south of italy... I live in Milan that is in the north...

Anyway they won't use it for chasin' but only for emergencies...

Hi all!!!

i told it was real why would it be written in the newspaper if it wasn't real

Off topic: CRBN BLU is that what I think it is.

NiCE...people here don't believe in anything.

I couldn't believe it too...I just say that cops are not so clever in Italy...let's hope they won't crash in the first tree...

It's real according to www.lamborghini.com [lamborghini.com]

For the first time, Italian State Police (Polizia di Stato) will use a Lamborghini Gallardo Police Car. The supercar, in State Police colors, with a siren and flashing lights on the roof, has been donated by the House of Sant'Agata Bolognese to the State Police on the occasion of its 152nd anniversary, held in the customary setting of the Piazza del Popolo in Rome on the 14th, 15th and 16th May 2004. The Gallardo Police Car will be used by the traffic police (Polizia Stradale) during emergencies and alarm situations on the Salerno-Reggio Calabria highway, also under the powers of the special safety operative which is already being employed along this tract of highway.

The Gallardo will also be used in first aid activities - thanks to its special defibrillator equipment, which performs electrocardiograms and automatic diagnoses of arterial pressure and the presence of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood - as well as the transportation of plasma and human organs for transplants. Apart from being fitted with medical equipment, the vehicle will also have advanced technological apparatus' for receiving and transmitting information and images relating to particularly critical situations, such as road traffic accidents, fires and other disaster situations.

All this will be made possible thanks to the use of other sophisticated equipment on board the "Lamborghini Polizia", for example, the satellite navigational system with GSM microtelephone, the Provida system which records violations and sends images in real time, direct connection to the Police database as well as the Elsag "Autodetector" system for number plate recognition and VHF-Polizia equipment.

The use of The Gallardo - which has a 10 cylinder, 5 litre, 500 hp engine and equipped with a full aluminium body - will also be possible in bad weather and road conditions due to its high Performance with permanent four-wheel drive and special "Sottozero" snow tyres developed by Pirelli for Lamborghini vehicles.

If ur in Italy drive a 360 or enzo. It'd blow a gallardo away, drive a muriellago if you like lambo

More pics...

^ NiCe!

Gallardo is faster than a 360 modena,sorry...

Today I've seen a Gallardo (not the police one,fortunately it was black) and I still think that giving it to a cop it's a waste
