Italy's Fastest Ambulance: The Urus Performante Joins the Highway Police

Lamborghini's Super SUV enters active duty for organ transport, extending a twenty-year partnership no rival can match.

Lamborghini Chairman and CEO Stephan Winkelmann handed the keys of a specially equipped Urus Performante to Italy's Minister of the Interior Matteo Piantedosi at a ceremony in Rome's Piazza del Viminale on December 12, 2023.

The sixth Lamborghini model to wear Polizia livery

The Urus Performante is the sixth distinct Lamborghini model to join the Italian Highway Police fleet since the collaboration began in 2004, a two-decade commitment no other supercar manufacturer can match.

Cockpit built for armed officers and medical cargo

Lamborghini technicians at Sant'Agata Bolognese integrated an armored weapon box, a defibrillator compartment, and a temperature-controlled organ transport fridge into a cabin that still needs to function at sustained high speeds on the autostrada.

306 km/h capability in Polizia di Stato dress

The Urus Performante's twin-turbo V8 produces 850 Nm of torque and reaches approximately 306 km/h, figures that translate directly into shorter transit times when organs must cross hundreds of kilometers of Italian motorway.

A driver's workplace designed for the mission

Lamborghini selected the Performante variant rather than the comfort-oriented S or the hybrid SE because the role demands maximum mechanical responsiveness across variable weather and road conditions.

The vehicle's primary mission is urgent medical transport of organs and plasma, a role where speed, stability, and reliability are literal matters of life and death.

The Huracán LP610-4 remains in active service, and the Urus Performante will operate alongside it, expanding the fleet's capability with a vehicle better suited to carrying bulkier medical equipment and navigating a wider range of road conditions.

The portable organ fridge includes a display and data logger for continuous temperature monitoring, providing a verifiable chain of custody that ensures cold-chain integrity from donor hospital to recipient.

The Urus Performante also holds the 2022 Pikes Peak Hillclimb record for a production SUV at 10:32.064, a measure of the stability and composure that define sustained high-speed organ transport runs.

Performance inseparable from purpose

The Urus Performante in Polizia livery is the most compelling argument Lamborghini can make for what the brand stands for: twenty years, six models, and a piece of brand equity that no competitor currently matches.
