In 2004, a Lamborghini permanent four-wheel drive Gallardo was donated to the Italian State Police (Polizia di Stato) by Automobili Lamborghini SpA.
The performance car has been liveried in the colours of the state police and includes a siren and flashing lights on the roof.
This was the first time that a Lamborghini will be used by Italian police.
It was to be used by the traffic police (Polizia Stradale) during emergency situations.
It was equipped with apparatus to transmit and receive information and images in critical situations such as road traffic accidents, fires and other disaster situations.
In 2009, a new Gallardo replaced the previous in use by the Italian police force since 2004.
