Lamborghini and Italian Police: 20-year collaboration
By CARSIFU | 20 December 2024ROME: Automobili Lamborghini and the Italian “Polizia di Stato” are celebrating 20 years of a compelling and altruistic collaboration, which began in 2004 with the delivery of a Lamborghini Gallardo.
Since then, this partnership has enabled the Italian State Police to benefit from a succession of high-performance vehicles, used as valuable tools in patrolling and emergency medical response services.
Notably, these vehicles have completed over 200 organ transport missions across Italy, contributing in many cases to saving lives.
Additionally, they have featured in more than 1,500 road safety education events to promote a culture of safe driving.
“We are extremely proud to celebrate 20 years of collaboration with the Italian State Police, an institution we deeply respect for its daily work protecting the safety of Italian citizens,” stated Automobili Lamborghini chairman and CEO Stephan Winkelmann.
“Knowing that our vehicles have supported the police in their road operations and have contributed to saving lives is greatly gratifying. This cooperation represents the strong bond between Automobili Lamborghini and Italy and its institutions, despite our international outlook.”
“The 20-year synergy with Automobili Lamborghini reinforces the Italian State Police’s commitment to fulfilling a delicate task such as urgent organ transport, an activity carried out in close collaboration with the National Transplant Centre. This helps to make one of the missions of the Polizia di Stato increasingly tangible, namely being of service to all citizens,” said the chief of police - director general of public security Vittorio Pisani.
“The Lamborghinis in use, from the Gallardo to the most recent Urus, allow us to rely on cutting-edge equipment and technology, ensuring our specially trained drivers can carry out this vital service quickly and with maximum safety.”
In total, six vehicles have joined the Italian State Police fleet over 20 years, each with specific characteristics and advanced technologies designed to support security and emergency operations and creating a partnership rich in stories and significant events.
