Police forces around the world will certainly be envious of the Italian Highway Patrol, especially after Lamborghini CEO Stefano Domenicali delivered a new Huracan Polizia to the police force. This is the second Huracan to be operated by the highway patrol in Rome since 2015.
Primarily used in highway patrol service in Bologna, Italy, where Lamborghini is headquartered, the police vehicle features the traditional array of police equipment – 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.
It also comes equipped with an on-board system consisting of a tablet accompanied by a computer, recording equipment and a video camera. Of more importance is the 5.2 litre naturally-aspirated V10 engine, which produces 610 hp and 560 Nm, more than enough to pursue most traffic offenders on the road.
However, when the Huracan Polizia is not patrolling the highways, it can also serve as a first aid and emergency medical transport vehicle. Aside from an on-board defibrillator, the Huracan also gets a special refrigeration system in the luggage compartment for the urgent transport of organs and blood to hospitals. We reckon the special police vehicle is more than capable of doing “urgent.”
The Italian carmaker points out that in 2016, a number of transport operations were performed with the Lamborghini cars operated by the Italian Police (April and July), meaning this isn’t just for wayang.
The Huracan Polizia wears the official colours of the Italian Police (Police Medium Blue), with shades of white and lettering to match. The livery is enhanced by a series of stripes that feature the colours of the Italian flag, which runs along both sides of the vehicle. Further details are seen on the P Zero Pirelli tyres, where their sidewalls are tinted in Police Medium Blue and were specially created for the emergency response vehicle.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Any vacancy for TP down there? I want to interviews! :-)
Ppl drive Lambo, our police drive Proton. Both are national car but Malaysian police need some imagination to survive the Proton quality.
Proton… the power of day dreaming.
Safety is better that some Japs car & P2.
Better handling too, hate to admit it ?
Mirage vs Iriz , Iriz got better safety & handling.
Persona vs Almera, same as above even better interior quality & insulation.
In Malaysia, PDRM wajib to use Proton. This is because there is a ruling, all gomen and gomen agencies must support Proton fully and give them the backing.
Now 72,000 sales. If got no gomen orders or government department orders, sales will be 5000 cars only per annum
Pizza polis dah kena deadak ni, kan?
Pizza bashers later will complain how to justify their “humongous” tax money contribution to replace carbon ceramic brakes later, kan?
What happen to their previous fleet of Felali and Lembukinis, kan?
Kesian our PDRM……stuck and cursed foerver driving the inferior P1 as squad cars.
On unlucky days, the police might be trapped inside their police car due to broken door handles…
They are lucky bcos most Malaysian B40 who received BRiM take cover under the bridge to avoid getting wet. At least they are stuck inside the P1 car. Hehehe.
