Italian Lamborghini Police Car Damaged

Lamborghini donated the new "Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia" to the Italian State Police. A private ceremony was held in 2008 at the Viminale Palace where Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. donated a police version of the company's newest super sports car, Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia, to the head of the Italian State Police, Prefect Antonio Manganelli.

The new Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia, which replaces the previous Gallardo in use by the Italian police force since 2004 has a 560 horsepower engine that can reach speeds of up to 203 mph. The car will begin service with the Lazio Highway Police Department in order to continue accident and crime prevention to sustain security on the Italian roads.

In December 2009, a bandaged and bruised police driver may have had a tough time explaining how he managed to write off one of the force's prized Lamborghinis when he rammed it so hard into a line of parked cars that one of the stationary vehicles ended up on the police car's roof. According to the police, the crash was caused by the driver of a slow-moving Seat Ibiza who emerged without looking from a service station, clipping the Lamborghini and sending the vehicle swerving into the parked cars.

The front end of the Lamborghini was crushed in the accident, near Cremona, and the driver and a passenger were slightly injured.

The Lamborghini Gallardo, worth $235,000, was one of a pair donated by the manufacturer to the police to do battle on Italy's roads, where 1 million motorists are injured annually and 4731 died last year.

Although the video is a mock news report, the car and the accident are real:
