Lamborghini Donates New Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia to Italian Police: 20 High-Res Photos

The Gallardo LP560-4's predecessor, a first generation Gallardo was in service in Rome and according to Lamborghini the sports car clocked nearly 87,000 miles or 140,000 km of patrol duty on the motorways of central and southern Italy, as well as on emergency medical transport detail.

The Italian police also has a second Gallardo, painted in blue and white police colors, that is currently in service around Bologna, Italy since 2005. Its odometer already shows more than 62,000 miles.

Like its predecessor, the new Gallardo LP560-4 comes equipped with all sorts of high-tech gadgets like the aerodynamically optimized (sic) police beacon and LED signals on the front, sides and rear of the light's aluminum shell as well as the video / photo system which works in conjunction with GPS data to determine the speed of the vehicle being pursued. The vehicle also features a specialized refrigeration system for safe transportation of donor organs in case of a medical emergency.

All in all, 30 extremely lucky police officers are permitted to drive the Gallardo Polizia after they receive special training in the use of the Gallardo's medical equipment. Lambo claims that each person on the special operations team – which includes three women – has undertaken several days of driver training with Lamborghini, under the leadership of the Italian sport carmaker's test drivers.
