Lamborghini Huracan Italian Police Car Has Come Sooner Than Expected
A small country with its own supercar brand sure has its advantages. For one, the state police get presented with the largest weapon on four wheels from the brand.
We are talking about Lamborghini and the Italian police of course. The company recently donated a brand new Huracan LP 610-4 to the Italian Polizia. For patrol duty of course.
Wearing the light blue-white livery of the Italian State Police and light bar on the roof, the Huracan in uniform sure looks neat.

The 610 horsepower supercar was handed over to Prefect Alessandro Pansa, at a ceremony in Rome at the Museo dell Auto Storiche della Polizia di Stato by Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann.
The new Huracan Police car will take the place of the department's Gallardo that was duty from 2004 till 2008. That car was heavily damaged in a crash, but hopefully, the Huracan will be handled with greater care.
Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 is powered by a 5.2-litre V10 engine delivering 610 horsepower. It can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and 0-200 km/h in 9.9 seconds. The supercar has a top speed of 322 km/h.
The Huracan will begin service at the end of the year "in order to sustain security on Italian roads by continuing accident and crime prevention".

The police beacon on the roof of the Huracán had to be aerodynamically optimized as the new police car reaches a considerably higher top speed than regular service vehicles. With the extremely flat construction of the signal lighting, blue LEDs are fitted around the base to ensure the visual signal cannot be missed. The roof-mounted lighting is supported by further white LED signals on the front, sides and rear of the light's aluminium shell. A total of four sirens integrated into the front and rear of the Huracán generate unmistakable audible warning signals.
In addition to its high tech equipment, the Huracán is also fitted with the ‘‘classic'' array of police equipment, such as a gun holster, police radio equipment and the ‘‘Paletta'': the traditional hand-held stop sign used to advise motorists and traffic offenders to pull over. Officers can then use a removable screen to show offenders their misdeeds immediately, complete with an overlay of all the associated data.
The cabin of the super sports car is fitted with the latest advancements in police technology to immediately document evidence of any transgression. The video system is positioned in the center of the cabin with a camera fitted next to the rear view mirror, and a computer and recording equipment behind the seats. As soon as police officers are alerted to a suspicious driver, they activate the ‘‘Proof Video Data System''
The Lamborghini is used regularly for urgent medical transportation, too. The luggage compartment in the front of the vehicle is equipped with a specialized refrigeration system for safe transportation of donor organs. For extreme emergencies, there is also a life-saving defibrillator.
‘‘We have a strong and fitting relationship with the Italian State Police. The new Lamborghini Huracán stands for Italian super sports car excellence and we are proud to provide it to the Italian State Police to carry out the specialist tasks these police cars undertake.'' said Stephan Winkelmann.
