Lamborghini Donates Gallardo LP560-4 to Italian Police
High-visibility patrol car
by Christopher Jackson
On the one hand, it’s a good way to ensure that drivers toe the line
on Italian roads. On the other, some people might just intentionally
flaunt the law in central and Southern Italy just to get a closer look
at the new Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia. The police-prepped Gallardo was
recently donated to the Italian State Police at the Viminale Palace.
Replacing the 2004 Gallardo that’s seen 87,000 miles of patrol duty and
emergency medial transport in and around Rome, the LP560-4 Polizia goes
into service immediately with the Lazio Highway Police Department.
The distinctive, “blu Polizia” paint job is accented by white stripes
that follow the contours of the Gallardo’s body, and the roof lights
are specially designed to take the car’s speed capability into account.
The 560-horsepower, 203-mph supercar serves as more than just a visible
tool for deterring speeders. It’s a fully functional squad car, with
radio, holster, cardiac defibrillator and other safety equipment. The
police Gallardo is equipped with a state-of-the-art onboard video unit
called the “Proof Video Data System.” An in-car camera is linked with a
GPS receiver that can transmit images and information on the Gallardo
LP560-4 Polizia’s location to the nearest police station, as well as
accurately calculating the speed of the vehicle that’s being pursued.
Stolen-car and other criminal information can be transmitted quickly
and efficiently. Want to argue that you’re innocent? The “Proof Video
Data System” features a portable screen on which an officer can show
you exactly why you’re being cited.
In addition to running down speeders, the Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia can
be used for emergency medical transport. The car’s front luggage
compartment has been fitted with a refrigeration unit, allowing it to
carry donor organs from hospital to hospital with extreme urgency.
The Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia is the third Gallardo police car. The
first two have clocked 87,000 and 65,000 miles respectively to date,
and have been remarkably reliable with no reported service visits other
than routine maintenance.
