Italian police to use 200mph Lamborghini

Italian police unveiled the latest weapon in their war on speeding motorists yesterday – a muscular, blue and white Lamborghini capable of travelling at 200 miles per hour

The new Gallardo, which boasts a 560-horsepower engine, will prowl Italy's autostradas in search of the country's notoriously lead-footed drivers.

The custom made sports car is equipped with a specially designed mini fridge, which will be used to transport organs and plasma to help save the lives of traffic accident victims. It also comes with a defibrillator for use in emergencies.

It will be based in the Lazio region around Rome but will be deployed all over Italy. Its formidable speed will ensure nervous glances in rear view mirrors from drivers across the country.

An elite team of 30 police officers will be trained in how to handle it by Lamborghini. "Our best test drivers will give the selected policemen a special course," said a company spokeswoman.

The Gallardo, which costs £140,000, will replace an older Lamborghini which the police have been using since 2004.

The car, named after a famous breed of fighting bull, made its debut at this year's Geneva Auto Show. The 4 at the end of its model number, P560-4, refers to its permanent four wheel drive system.

Lamborghini continues to make cars in Italy but the firm is now owned by Audi of Germany.

They use Mitsubishi Evo's and Scoobies here, I remember when they used to use Morris Minors and Wolsely 6/110's ? They were no match for my Sunbeam Tiger. I'm grown up and sensible now? well most of the time anyway.

There is a vectra 3.2 that lurks up in Glasgow. Its dark blue, and has no markings but strobe lights on its roof rack mounted thingee. At night it will be nigh on possible to spot.

A rule of thumb is to buy a car thats not as fast as a cop car, at least then if your busted you won't try and out run them.
