If wile driving on an Italian highway, you get spotted speeding by the police, lately your chances of managing to be away got a lot slimmer.
Not because you lack in driving skills, but because the Italian state police have just added the Lamborghini Gallardo to their fleet.
The Lamborghini Gallardo is powered by a 5 liters V10 engine, with top speed of 204 Mph, it cover the ¼ of a mile in less than 12 seconds, and thanks to the 500 Hp that it has under the hood, goes from 0 to 60 Mph in less than four seconds.

The Gallardo police interceptor is only used on highway, and mostly in situations when time is essential, in the Gallardo trunk, is located a kit for rescue equipment complete of a organ transplant box.
Another technological feature that other Lamborghini Gallardo's does not have is a state of the art video system that transmits video images to the police headquarters.

Lamborghini donated the Lamborghini Gallardo police interceptor for the Italian state police 152nd anniversary, and the official cost of this car is $ 218.000.
That is why you will not be seeing too many of these around, but if you do, you're better slow down.
During its inauguration tour of the city of Rome, it was literally surrounded by a storm of kids on vespas, begging the officer on the wheel to be arrested, and maybe I would have done the same thing if I were there, unfortunately, this Gallardo do not have a back seat.

A police car carrying an organ transplant box is not one I would care to encounter. :) This concept would make a great horror movie spoof.
