The Gallardo Polizia di Stato: Official Press Release.
For the first time, Italian State Police (Polizia di Stato) will use a Lamborghini Gallardo
Police Car.
The supercar, in State Police colours, with a siren and flashing lights on the
roof, has been donated by the House of Sant'Agata Bolognese to the State Police on the
occasion of its 152nd anniversary, held in the customary setting of the Piazza del Popolo
in Rome on the 14th, 15th and 16th May 2004.
The Gallardo Police Car will be used by the traffic police (Polizia Stradale) during emergencies and alarm situations on the
Salerno-Reggio Calabria highway, also under the powers of the special safety operative
which is already being employed along this tract of highway.
The Gallardo will also be used in first aid activities - thanks to its special defibrillator
equipment, which performs electrocardiograms and automatic diagnoses of arterial
pressure and the presence of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood-as well as the
transportation of plasma and human organs for transplants.
Apart from being fitted with medical equipment, the vehicle will also have advanced
technological apparatus' for receiving and transmitting information and images relating to
particularly critical situations, such as road traffic accidents, fires and other disaster
situations.
All this will be made possibile thanks to the use of other sophisticated equipment on
board the 'Lamborghini Polizia', for example, the satellite navigational system with
GSM microtelephone, the Provida system which records violations and sends images in
real time, direct connection to the Police database as well as the Elsag 'Autodetector'
system for number plate recognition and VHF-Polizia equipment.
The use of The Gallardo -which has a 10 cylinder, 5 litre, 500 hp engine and equipped
with a full aluminium body - will also be possible in bad weather and road conditions due
to its high performance with permanent four-wheel drive and special 'Sottozero' snow
tyres developed by Pirelli for Lamborghini vehicles.
Sant'Agata Bolognese/Roma, 13 May 2004.
