New Lamborghini Huracan Reports for Duty with Italian Police

[See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com]

Lamborghini CEO Stefano Domenicali paid a visit to the Italian Interior Minister and Chief of Police this week, but not for any nefarious reasons. Instead, he was handing off the keys of a new police-spec Lamborghini Huracan.

While our childish imagination sees such a police vehicle helping to stop seriously expensive heists from the Vatican, the vehicle will instead be assigned to normal police duties and will also assist in urgent deliveries of blood and organs. It’s the second Huracan on the police fleet.

The car is done up in the Italian police livery, sporting the official paint finish of the public servants, Police Medium Blue. The flashy white striping on the car strays a bit from the traditional police vehicles found throughout Rome, and there’s a nice accent stripe that is the same colors as the Italian flag. Helping complete the look, the car is equipped with P Zero Pirelli tires, with blue tinted sidewalls that were specially created for the police.

While the car packs the same 6.2-liter V10 engine that makes 610 horsepower, there are some other unique highlights on this police-spec model. There’s the traditional array of police equipment, including a gun holster, portable extinguisher, standard police radio and hooks for the hand-held stop sign.

Under the front trunk (frunk for short) is an interesting change to the traditional Huracan. In order to accommodate the unique task of urgent organ delivery, there’s a special refrigeration system fitted there, along with a defibrillator to assist with first aid.

In addition to delivering the new car to the police force, Lamborghini also moved its 2009 Gallardo Polizia from the Lamborghini Museum in Sant’Agata to its permanent home in the Highway Patrol Auto Museum in Rome.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
