Italian police gets Lamborghini Urus Performante to deliver organs
THE partnership between Lamborghini and the Italian State Police continues with a specially-prepped Urus Performante.
The super SUV is the sixth model to enter into the Highway Police fleet since the two joined forces way back in 2004.
Set to enter into service next year alongside the Huracán LP610-4, the Urus Performante will be used for special services including the urgent medical transport of organs and plasma.
It was fitted out by Lamborghini technicians at Sant’Agata Bolognese, starting from the exterior, following police specifications. The livery is an artwork of Lamborghini Centro Stile, featuring the classic blue colour of the Italian State Police and white, with tricolor bands on the sills and seat belt.
The police logos have been applied to the doors in reflective film, while a light bar with 360 degree blue LED lights has been installed on the roof, together with a two-tone electric siren.
The cabin has been fitted with an armoured weapon box, a flip-down message display, a compartment for stowing service equipment as well as a defibrillator for first aid response.
Most importantly, there is a portable fridge for the transportation of organs, along with a display and data logger for the continuous monitoring of the internal temperature.
The Urus Performante won’t be having problems reaching the hospital in time as it has a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine capable of outputting 666 PS and 850 Nm of torque.
With an eight-speed automatic gearbox driving all four wheels, it will sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds before reaching a top speed of 306 km/h.
