Italian Police Receive Second Lamborghini Huracan
Executive Summary
The specially equipped car is to be assigned to the Highway Patrol in Bologna for use in both normal police operations and for the urgent transport of blood and organs.
Lamborghini once again is pandering to the Italian police’s love affair with super-fast patrol cars with its latest delivery of a new Huracán Polizia to the Italian Highway Patrol in Rome.
The keys were handed over to the interior minister, Sen. Marco Minniti, by Stefano Domenicali, chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.
The specially equipped car is to be assigned to the Highway Patrol in Bologna for use in both normal police operations and for the urgent transport of blood and organs.
The Highway Patrol has operated another Huracán in Rome since 2015.
Finished in the official colors of the Italian police, the livery is completed by a stripe divided into the three colors of the Italian flag, which runs along both sides of the vehicle. As is true for all Lamborghinis, the Huracán Polizia is equipped with P Zero Pirelli tires except their sidewalls are tinted to match the bodywork.
For any motorists considering their options of not stopping when requested, it’s only fair to point out the car features a naturally aspirated V-10 that produces 610 hp with a 0-62 mph (100 km/h) acceleration time of 3.4 seconds on the way to a top speed of 201 mph (324 km/h). This performance is backed up by all-wheel drive and a hybrid chassis made of aluminum and carbon fiber.
Specialized equipment on the Huracán Polizia includes a tablet and separate computer, recording equipment and a video camera as well as the more traditional gun holster, portable extinguisher, standard VHF police radio and hooks for retaining the classic red-and-white, hand-held stop sign.
