PULL ME OVER, QUICK!
What would it be like to be pulled over for speeding – by a ruggedly handsome cop driving a racing red Lamborghini Huracan?
Automobili Lamborghini has delivered a new Huracan Polizia, the police version of its Huracan super sports car, to the Italian Highway Patrol in Rome.
The keys were handed over to Interior Minister, Senator Marco Minniti, at the Viminale building by Stefano Domenicali, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. Also attending the ceremony was Chief of Police and General Director of Public Safety Franco Gabrielli.
The Huracan of the Italian Police is to be assigned to the Highway Patrol in Bologna. It will be used both in normal police operations and for the urgent transport of blood and organs. Another Huracan has been operated by the Highway Patrol in Rome since 2015.
The Huracan Polizia is used in highway patrol service, and for first aid and emergency medical transport. It sports the official colors of the Italian Police (Police Medium Blue), with the white areas and lettering specially executed to match the Huracan’s dynamic look.
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 Lamborghini cars, the Huracan Polizia is equipped with P Zero Pirelli tires, but their sidewalls are tinted in Police Medium Blue and were specially created for the occasion.
As is true for the standard model, the Huracan Polizia is equipped with an aspirated V10 that produces 610 hp, as well as all-wheel drive and a hybrid chassis made of aluminum and carbon fibre.
The passenger compartment of the Huracan Polizia has been given the latest advancements in high technology. The vehicle is equipped with an on-board system consisting of a tablet supplemented with a computer, recording equipment and a video camera.
In addition to its high tech equipment, the Huracan Polizia is of course fitted with the traditional array of police equipment, such as a gun holster, portable extinguisher, standard VHF police radio and hooks for retaining the classic red-and-white, hand-held stop sign used to stop vehicles safely.
