Italian Cops Add Lamborghini to Fleet

ROME (AP) - Italian drivers who like to use highways as their personal speed-tracks are about to lose the race.

Italy's state police presented a sleek new addition Friday: a Lamborghini Gallardo, with a top speed of 192 mph. The car is ready for service, bedecked with a siren, painted blue-and-white, and the word ``POLIZIA'' - ``police'' - stenciled on the side.

Police showed it off at an anniversary celebration in Rome on Friday. They said the Lamborghini will be used on the Salerno-Reggio Calabria highway in southern Italy, for emergencies and to transport organs for transplant.

Lamborghini, which is owned by Volkswagen and based near Bologna in northern Italy, donated the car. The six-speed, two-door luxury vehicle promises the ability to go from zero to 60 mph in four seconds, and has a list price of $165,00

Everything in my wonderful Italian homeland is done with style and panache; how can you NOT admire a country that gives luxury sports cars to it's cops with no real expectation that they'll use them for anything but impressing pretty girls. What a fantastic society, I love Italy; and people wonder why I'm planning to retire there, dopodomani!

frankly Mr Shankly, this position I've held, it pays my way but it corrodes my soul....
