sad lamborgini

[EHM-1001 Robert]

The Italian highway police gave a special gift. It is nothing else than a Lamborghini Gallardo, 5000 ccm, 500 BHP monster at a topspeed around 310 kph

The Lamborghini that costs 165.000 dolls, was given by the Bolognese factory to the Italian police. They will use it mainly not against crime but for moving human transplantations really really fast, because there is a frigerator box installed in the front of the car.

I guess Italian policemen and police women can try out the beast in intercepting missions too.

It is not the first case when Italy uses a sportscar at the police. In the 60s they used a black Ferrari for intercepting. There was a "famous" chase when the black Ferrari ran down the well-known "Spanish stairs" in Rome. The officers who tried out the car, said they do not need such manouvers to be prominent. The car itself is enough. Also it is very unique when a tall, blonde beauty gets off the car in police uniform.


:s :s :s

In England it is rubbish. The fastest car we got is a Ford Cosworth. That Lambo god d**n rules. In germany or Holland, my Dad says that they have 911's. Is this true.

[EHM-0744 Alex]

Is the car on the pic real? It looks like one of those scale model plastic one if you as me... where did you hear this?

[EHM-1343 Jonathan]

Yeah it is real. I heard about on the British car show. Top Gear

[EHM-1001 Robert]

The car is real ! I seen it in the night news some days ago. Just check it out here for example: www.italiaspeed.com/2004/cars/lamborghini/05/police_gallardo.html

As I know some years ago, BMW produced special M3 interceptors for the german highway police "Cobra 11"

I read about the Lamborghini here too.

And yes, they have 911's in Germany. I have seen them myself.

Back in the 70s, when the dutch economy was sky rocketing, the dutch highway police used Porsche 911s to persuit speeding violators. Unfortunatly, times have changed and the police could no longer afford the maintanance of the Porsches. As a result, we now mainly use Volvo S80s and Mercedes C-series to persuit violators.

Why Volvo? Because we have a Volvo factory in Holland As far as I know, except for Sweden, Holland is the olny country in the world which has a Volvo factory. If I'm not mistaken many of the Volvo cars inside Europe are manufactured here.

Nedcar is not a Volvo factory, it produces the Volvo S40 and V40 but they also manufacture the Smart forfour and the  Mitsubishi Colt and Space Star.

I don't think the police will use a Smart or Colt for persuits though.

[EHM-0813 Guillermo]

:]

is that the factory near Den Bosch? (or Eindhoven I can't remember, but I do see it every time on the way to Eindhoven)

[EHM-0588 Paul]

Nedcar is in Born (limburg), DAF is in Eindhoven (Trucks). Is there also a car factory near Den Bosch?

[EHM-0813 Guillermo]

I can't really remember where... I'm going to Eindhoven again next week so I'll keep my eyes open for it.

the car is the best

[EHM-VC67 Abishay]

[EHM-1343 Jonathan]

WOW! That Limo looks nice in shape but a horrible colour:]

[EHM-1617 Iain]

I'm an avid top gear fan too Razza.

[EHM-1657 Jay]

Last time I was in Holland they still used 911 Carrerra's if I am not mistaken, very cool
