Police in Italian will be going to work in style in a Lamborghini specially equipped with life-saving features.
"This car replaces the former model that used to operate in the Rome area and will now be used in Bologna," a Lamborghini spokeswoman said.
The police force's updated and custom-made Lamborghini Gallardo supercar has a top speed of 325km/h and the base model sells for €175 000.
The police car has a small fridge to carry donor organs and a heart defibrillator.
"Our best test drivers will give the selected policemen a special course," Lamborghini promised. - Sapa-AFP
