Italian State Police receive new Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 - Autoblog

I want to join

I love Italy. I love the cars, the women, the food, the culture.

Hope to work for Lamborghini one day doing vehicle aerodynamics or chassis development. Alternatively, many yacht design companies are based in Italy and France, and yachts are one of my big passions in life.

Why don't we have that kinda stuff here in the states! Best thing I've seen as a police cruiser here was some lame camaro.

I did see a lambo diablo police car when I went to LV few years back...

I usually hate the new gallado look, but that police car trim is seriously sexy.

Vancouver Police have a few "ghost cars" that are pretty fast - Dodge Charger R/T, Magnum R/T and a few Honda Civic SiR's (the older EP3 version).

^ quite a few audi TTs for RCMP actually.

Pretty cool idea to have something on the road that can keep up with anything else on the road. Good luck outrunning that squad car!

Plus, in a place like Italy (not that there is any other place like it) there is tremendous nationalistic pride, so I'm not actually that surprised to learn of something like this. Maybe they can get a Ferrari 612 as well. What do you think, Red? Maybe a couple of Ducati monsters as well?

Hmmm. So that's where all the really high customs fees and "lost" packages go towards...

Italy is a crazy world,there was a story of a guy in a Mercedes 300SL Gullwing booking it down the Autostrada at some 120mph and all of a sudden a police Ducati pulls up next to him. The guy starts freaking out because the policeman is waving around his hands and he thinks that he's in quite a bit of trouble but then the Ducati gets in front of him,turns on his lights and siren and parts the way for him so the fellow in the Mercedes can speed up!

I love Italians.

If I recall correctly the UK police have a few very nice Evos in their fleet, and its not the first time Italian police have received a lamborghini. The Pre-LP560 Gallardo was also decked out in police gear.

Imagine an LP640 pursuit vehicle.

Says something about the car park and driving culture in Italy, since they need a car capable of 300kmh++ to keep up with the bad guys.

From my stay in Italy, I learnt that traffic lights are only advisory, and that pedestrian paths are merely an extra lane for scooters to overtake cars with.

I do see California Highway Patrol often in supercharged '97 Camaros' patrolling the I-15 often. Never seen an exotic cruiser, though.

One of each, please! Throw in a Multistrada 1100S as well. (Normally, I don't quote pics, but these bikes are just awesome.)
