Italian police receive donated Huracan from Lamborghini

Lamborghini has donated the police version of its newest super sports car, the Huracan LP 610-4 Polizia.

The new Huracan LP 610-4, which replaces the Gallardos used by the Italian police force since 2004 and 2008, features a 5.2-litre V10 engine with 610bhp, and reaches a top speed over 325km/h.

The new Lamborghini Huracan police car will begin service within the end of this year in order to sustain security on Italian roads by continuing accident and crime prevention.

Trouble-free everyday operation and the exceptional safety of the Huracan LP 610-4 comes from its permanent all-wheel drive and refined new hybrid chassis made from aluminium and carbon fibre, which maintains stability even at the highest speeds.

Its predecessor is proof of Lamborghini's outstanding product quality. Since 2004, Rome's police force has operated the first generation Gallardo in regular police service, with a further Gallardo run by Bologna's police since 2005. Both were replaced in 2008 by second generation Gallardo models.

In addition to the clearly effective deterrent offered by the presence and visibility of a Lamborghini on the highway, the equipment on board these vehicles makes them highly effective in the control of hazardous driving behaviour and technologies include automatic number plate recognition and tracking, and real-time transmission of images to the control rooms.
