    Lamborghini Gallardos

    Telegraph.co.uk

    Picture of the day: 1 December 2009



    Italian police write off one of their own Lamborghini Gallardos. A black van sits on top of a smashed police Lamborghini Gallardo following an accident. Two officers inside the 560-horsepower car suffered minor injuries in the accident. A spokesman said the Lambo was cut up by another motorist who was leaving a petrol station near Cremona and the officer at the wheel swerved to avoid it and hit another car. Italian police began using the Lamborghinis four years ago in a bid to clamp down on speeding motorists. It can reach 204mph

    I'm sure they cost the department little to nothing.

    Lambo gets good press out of the deal and supplies the cops with something fast enough to keep up with the stuff they are already selling to civilians

    Yeah, those are becoming very common. The unmarked versions of the Chargers are next to impossible to spot until you are right on top of them. It's evil, really.

    I hate the Chargers because all the "gangstas" have them and if it's black or at night it's hard to tell if it's a cop or not until they are close.

    Huh, I find that to be more the case with the Chrysler 300 than I do the Charger. May just be the demographic though.
