A Gift From The Bull : Lamborghini donates the new “Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia” to the Italian police

The Italians are such nice people . They have high taste and only care about looks . However , they also like to give gifts . As like today for example . A private ceremony was held today at the Viminale Palace where Lamborghini donated a police version of the company’s newest supercar, the Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia, to the head of the Italian State Police .
The new Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia, which replaces the previous Gallardo in use by the Italian police force since 2004 has a 560 horsepower engine that can reach speeds of up to 203 mph. The car will begin service with the Lazio Highway Police Department in order to continue accident and crime prevention to sustain security on the Italian roads .
In addition to its high tech equipment, the Gallardo 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.
30 police officers permitted to drive the Gallardo Polizia receive special training in the use of the Gallardo’s medical equipment. 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 Lamborghini test drivers. In the end I have to say , I wish I was a policemen in Italy .
