Houston PD had one of those when I attended a National D.A.R.E. Officer's training conference several years ago.

It was decked out with lights and all the other goodies and was painted and marked in the HPD colors.

Definitely an attention getter.

Holy crap....the price of a citation there must be in the thousands!!!

When I was in Europe, I saw the Belgian Highway Cops driving a Porshe but the Lambo must be a 200K car. Wonder what kind of EVOC they get!!

You would be supprised to see what the Police drive in Europe. Most "regular" cops drive the normal stuff (BMW wagons, MB wagons/sedans). Not the big exotic ones, but their "normal" cars. Now: Special Units. Few years ago there was a big accident on the Wurzburg-Frankfurt Autobahn. Seems a logging truck turned over, spilling its load. Along comes an UNMARKED Audi RS8. Nice. You could tell it was a cop car because of the little blue bubble on top. I can remember seeing a Porsche Turbo and 2 BMW motorcycles teamed up on the Salzburg-Munich Autobahn. Nothing could get away. Used to see a lot of Turbo Porsche's and BMW M series on the Basel-Mannheim-Frankfurt Autobahn.
Back during the Bader-Meihnof days (most of y'all are to young to remember), some of the anti-terrorest units drove what looked like plain-jane stuff, like an old Audi junker, etc. with a 5 cyl turbo motor, or other real hot engines and all the firearms and communications goodies you would like in the trunk.

Enough for the day. Have a good done.

Yes, in the video it states that it was in fact donated by Lamborghini for the police department's birthday, so to speak.

Such a sweet car! You'd have to be an idiot to try and run from that!

I'd like to see them race around in circles like in NASCAR!

Careless driver writes off Italian police's prized Lamborghini

When the Italian police unveiled their state-of-the-art Lamborghini patrol cars, they cannot have been short of volunteers itching to take the supercars in pursuit of speeding criminals.

A team of elite drivers was trained to chase down speeding motorists and deliver urgently-needed transplant organs in the futuristic vehicles, capable of reaching more than 200mph.

What they apparently were not prepared for was a distracted motorist who pulled out of a petrol station without looking.

Today, a bandaged and bruised police driver may have had a tough time explaining how he managed to write off one of the force's prized Lamborghinis when he rammed it so hard into a line of parked cars that one of the stationary vehicles ended up on the police car's roof.

According to the police, the crash was caused by the driver of a slow-moving Seat Ibiza who emerged without looking from a service station, clipping the Lamborghini and sending the vehicle swerving into the parked cars.

The front end of the Lamborghini was crushed in the accident, near Cremona, and the driver and a passenger were injured, although not seriously.

The Lamborghini Gallardo, worth £130,000 and capable of reaching 62mph in four seconds, was one of a pair donated by the Italian manufacturer to the police to do battle on Italy's roads, where 1 million motorists are injured annually and 4,731 died last year.

Both cars include transmitters to send images back to HQ, a defibrillator for accidents and a fridge for transporting donor organs. The two officers were returning from a convention in Cremona, where they had been addressed a student audience on road safety.
