Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4: A new car for Italian police

Lamborghini has donated a new Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 to the Italian highway police. Too bad. Watch some videos below!

The Gallardo had already been used by Italian police since 2004. But the brand new LP560-4 platform now allows speeds of up to 203 mph; this in order "to continue accident and crime prevention to sustain security on the Italian roads," according to the Italian automaker. The new perp pursuer will first see service with the Lazio Highway Police Department.

Lamborghini claim that current Gallardo duty ensures these supercars have enjoyed very unsupercar-like reliability. Rome's first-gen Gallardo service vehicle has accrued almost 87,000 miles of patrol duty on motorways as well as emergency medical transport without a hitch, and a blue and white Gallardo serving B0logna since '05 has also needed nothing more than regular servicing.
