Since 2004, Lamborghini and the Polizia di Stato (Italian police force) join forces. This alliance has spanned two decades, giving rise to exceptional vehicles, used not only for patrols but also for emergency missions, including organ transport. In 2024, Lamborghini proudly celebrates 20 years of partnership with the Italian policea partnership that has saved lives and promoted road safety.
A collaboration that began in 2004 with the Gallardo
The story begins in 2004, when Lamborghini delivers a Gallardo 510-4 to the Italian police. This iconic vehicle, Lamborghini's first production model equipped with a V10 engine, is used for patrols on Italian roads, as well as for emergency missions such as organ transport. In 2005, a second Gallardo completes this collaboration, specifically equipped for the transport of emergency organs, with a refrigerated compartment in the trunk.
A technological leap forward with the Gallardo LP 560-4 (2008)
In 2008, the Gallardo gave way to the Gallardo LP 560-4, an improved model with even more impressive performance. Its 560 HP V10 engine enables it to reach a top speed of 325 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds. This model continues to fulfill its missions on the freeways of southern Italy, and takes part in representative events such as the Police Day parade in Rome and the Targa Florio.
The Huracán LP 610-4: a new era (2014-2017)
In 2014, the Huracán LP 610-4 joined the fleet of the Polizia di Stato. This vehicle, with its 610 HP and impressive acceleration capacity from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, is specially designed to meet police requirements. It features cutting-edge technologies such as optimized aerodynamics and high-visibility LED lighting, ensuring safety even at high speeds. In 2023, the Huracán was used to transport a kidney, saving the life of a 57-year-old woman in an emergency.
The pinnacle of performance with the Urus Performante (2023)
In 2023, Lamborghini presents the latest model in this collaboration: the Urus Performante. With its twin-turbo V8 engine developing 666 HP and a top speed of 306 km/h, the Urus is Lamborghini's most powerful and efficient luxury SUV. This vehicle is not only a beast of performance but also an essential tool for public safety, equipped with modern safety features such as a secure weapons drawer, a folding message panel and a refrigerated compartment for transporting organs. In December 2023, it was handed over to the Italian police at a ceremony attended by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
Fruitful cooperation to save lives
Over and above the technical prowess and exceptional performance of these cars, this partnership has saved human lives. Since 2004, more than 200 organ transport missions have been carried out using Lamborghini vehicles.. In fact, each car, from the Gallardo to the Urus Performante, has been fitted with a refrigerated compartment dedicated to the transport of vital organs, guaranteeing rapid delivery in complete safety.
Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Lamborghini, expressed his pride in this collaboration. "We are extremely proud to celebrate 20 years of collaboration with the Polizia di Stato, an institution we deeply respect for its daily work protecting the safety of Italian citizens." This cooperation, a symbol of the bond between Lamborghini and Italian institutions, continues to promote innovation and social commitment, using exceptional vehicles for missions essential to public safety.
