Italian police have been forced to scrap a $475,000 Lamborghini patrol car after it smashed into other vehicles.
The Gallardo coupe, donated to the Italian State Police by the automaker, clipped a car coming out of a service station before ploughing into several parked cars near Cremona in northern Italy, The Sun newspaper reports
The supercar — decked out with the latest high-tech equipment including a refrigerated cooler to transport donor organs — was returning from student job fair where it was showing off the police force's crime fighting arsenal.

The two officers in the vehicle received minor injuries and no-one else was hurt in the accident.
Since 2004, Lamborghini has donated several of the 412kW V10 machines to help transport organs and act as a highly-visible highway patrol car.
Thirty police officers were specially trained to drive the cars, which are capable of reaching speeds of 320km/h and going from a standing start to 100km/h in just over three seconds.
Supercar ping.
I don’t suppose the cop who happened to be driving had a swedish model wifey he was on the outs with?
No. The two cops were returning from a student fair after showcasing the police Lambo.
Showboatin’ for the ladies. Happens every time...
It boggles the mind to think what that translates to in lire.
Hahaha
$475,00? They paid too much for it..
Now and for the remainder of his life on Earth, no matter what else he does or what he may achieve, the poor, hapless driver will be known as ‘The Guy Who Totalled The Lamborghini.’
or the many francs Henri Paul pocketed for his Boston Brakes Show :(
“$475,00? They paid too much for it..”
Donated by automaker. In the article.
Bad cop! No donut!
Nice post.
BradlyLS,
When I was kid I was on the Santa Monica pier.
Some guy on a new KZ900 Kawasaki motorcycle was coming off the pier.
There is a steep ramp from the top of the bluff to the pier and this guy smiled at some sweeties in bikini’s and poped the clutch and pulled a wheelie and ran in to a telephone pole.
I fell down I was laughing so hard.
He made an impression with the honies don’’t ya know?
Take care.
Awesome story! That’s what’s so great about a funny story. You can’t plan it. You sure as hell can’t buy it. It just happens. And then you have a bit of gold that’ll last a lifetime!
