How many police cruisers can go 200 mph while toting a vital organ in its specially made refrigerated storage? While Lambo and the Italian State Police thought of all kinds of neat amenities to make the LP560-4 the perfect cruiser, they neglected to install an idiot detection device and now they&#8217;re paying the ultimate price.<\/p>\n<p>One of two Gallardo LP560-4 Polizias is ready for the scrap heap after a careless Seat Ibiza driver pulled out of a gas station without first looking for $200,000 police car. The undoubtedly surprised driver of the Gallardo swerved to avoid the oblivious one and smashed into a row of parked cars. The wedge-like Gallardo hit the cars so hard that one vehicle actually ended up on top (see above) of the ultimate Pig-mobile, crushing the front end. Luckily, the police officer and his passenger were unhurt in the incident. Ironically, the police issue Gallardo was on its way home from a safe driving seminar when the accident occurred.<\/p>\n<p>What a bummer. The cop driving the car was one of 20 officers specially trained to handle the Gallardo&#8217;s awesome V10 power. Now that the world&#8217;s neatest police cruiser is scrap-worthy, he&#8217;ll likely have to go back to driving a Fiat. <em>Thanks for the tips, everyone!!<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/gallardo-lp560-4-polizia\/low\/\">Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/gallardo-lp560-4-polizia\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2008\/10\/3-4_alto_large-1280_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/gallardo-lp560-4-polizia\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2008\/10\/3-4_ant_large-1280_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/gallardo-lp560-4-polizia\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2008\/10\/3-4_post_large-1280_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/gallardo-lp560-4-polizia\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2008\/10\/profilo_large-1280_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/gallardo-lp560-4-polizia\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2008\/10\/ruota_led_faro_large-1280_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/world\/2009\/nov\/30\/italian-police-lamborghini\">Guardian<\/a> | Image: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youreporter.it\/video_La_Lamborghini_della_Polizia_distrutta_a_Cremona_1\">YouReporter.IT]<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/12\/01\/report-lamborghini-gallardo-cop-car-crashes-in-italy-thanks-to\/\">REPORT: Lamborghini Gallardo cop car crashes in Italy thanks to careless driver<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Tue, 01 Dec 2009 08:30:00 EST.
