Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, handed over the car to the head of the Italian State Police, Prefect Alessandro Pansa, in a ceremony in Rome at the ‘‘Museo delle Auto Storiche della Polizia di Stato’’. The new Huracán LP 610-4,which replaces the Gallardos used by the Italian police force since 2004 and 2008, features a 5.21 liter V10 engine with 610hp, and reaches a top speed of over 202mph. The new Lamborghini Huracán 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.

The Lamborghini wears its uniform with pride, painted in accordance with requirements in ‘‘blu Polizia’’ and with the white stripes and lettering following the Huracán’s dynamic design language.

The cabin of the super sports car is fitted with the latest advancements in police technology to immediately document evidence of any transgression. The video system is positioned in the center of the cabin with a camera fitted next to the rear view mirror, and a computer and recording equipment behind the seats. As soon as police officers are alerted to a suspicious driver, they activate the ‘‘Proof Video Data System’’. With the help of GPS data, the device can calculate the location, direction of movement and speed of the Lamborghini. This, combined with the distance and time before intercept, accurately determines the speed of the vehicle being pursued.

In addition to its high tech equipment, the Huracán is also fitted with the 'classic' array of police equipment, such as a gun holster, police radio equipment and the "Paletta": the traditional hand-held stop sign used to advice motorists and traffic offenders to pull over. Officers can then use a removable screen to show offenders their misdeeds immediately, complete with an overlay of all the associated data.

The Lamborghini is used regularly for urgent medical transportation, too. The luggage compartment in the front of the vehicle is equipped with a specialized refrigeration system for safe transportation of donor organs. For extreme emergencies, there is also a life-saving defibrillator.
