The police in Italy will use the Lamborghini Urus Performante

If you ever get caught, you’d rather be helped in something like this Lamborghini Urus Performante. Italians – sort of – agree. That’s why the Urus Performante is being added to the police lineup in Italy. The Urus will be used next year for ‘vehicle transport and special services’ by the highway police.

Officers will therefore not patrol with it, but they will save lives with it. And doesn’t that Italian police uniform look good on him? An LED bar at the top with a blue light and a siren should let people know it’s coming. We think the bright blue Urus that’s fast will hold up well, but you definitely want to err on the side of caution.

The interior retains a surprising amount of the classic Urus. The driver’s display, the nice start button and the rest of the center console are as good as original. In the back, the trunk is full of, er, lots of stuff. In any case, we see a defibrillator and a folding display that can show a message to someone in the back of the Urus.

Mechanically, nothing changes with the Urusthe police. The 3.0-liter twin-turbo V8 still sends 666 hp and 850 Nm of torque to all wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. Thanks to additional equipment, the weight of 2,150 kg will increase somewhat, but the performance of the Urus will still be very impressive.

This Lamborghini Urus is not the first Lambo used by the police in Italy. Originally there were several ‘Police Huracans’ that were also used to transport fast food in Italy. There was also a Gallardo LP560 with a police helmet once driving. Unfortunately, this Lamborghini was destroyed.

Lamborghini boss Stephan Winkelmann talks about the twenty-year collaboration between Lambo and the Italian police: ‘Knowing that our cars are used for public activities and especially for important activities to save human life makes me and the whole company proud. These very satisfying plans show our close relationship with Italy.”
