Italian Police Get New Lamborghini

I've seen the occasional Mustang or Camaro police car before and thought that the cop driving it must feel pretty special, but that's nothing compared to how awesome the Italian police must feel: they just got a brand new Lamborghini Gallardo.

The Gallardo LP560-4 is all decked out with the usual police decals and lights, plus they managed to squeeze in all the high tech police equipment like radio and video equipment, gun racks, and even a cooler (for body parts?!).

It's not Italy's first law enforcement Lamborghini (Rome has had one for awhile) but still! Pretty awesome.

The Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4

The latest Lamborghini, the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, sure is a beauty. It's an updated version of the 5 year old Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, and among other things is a little lighter, has a new engine (the same one the Audi RS6 Avant has), and of course some updated styling to the exterior. New headlights, a completely redone rear end, and some new intakes top the list of body tweaks.

The engine upgrade combined with the lost weight (it weighs 44lbs less than the Superleggera) would make for some seriously fast and fun springtime driving, which for me (here in the Midwest) would be perfectly timed with the roads clearing of all the icy spots!

Shaq Supersizes His Lambo

At 7'1", Shaquille O'Neal is probably the tallest customer Lamborghini has ever had -- to the point that his test drive probably wasn't the most productive thing. Enter Gaffoglio Family Metalcrafters, who do fun stuff like help automakers with their concept cars, engineer and produce aerospace-quality glass, and do custom coachwork, stretching cars like the HUMMER limos we like to make fun of. Or, in this case, Shaq's Lamborghini Gallardo.

Gaffoglio stated that it was important to the company to keep the design consistent with stock Gallardos, so in extending the roof, doors and side windows, the original design of the vehicle played an important role. Extending the windows proved to be the trickiest bit, necessitating imput from the aerospace division in addition to coachworks expertise in order to get it right.

So, did they succeed? As we look at the photo above and try to figure out whether it's stock or stretched, we certainly think so.

Lamborghini Gallardo Nera

Forget the yellow Lambo when you can have this beauty, the Gallardo Nera. There are just 185 versions of the special Gallardo which comes in two colors "Nero Serapis" and "Nero Noctis", and has special paintwork in matte black on the side mirrors, rear spoiler, rear body panels, roof, selected front panels and other areas for a very unique look. The interior comes in two colors "Nero Perseus" and "Bianco Polar" and the ad personam package lets the owner customize other details. The interior is a study in black and white with rhomboidal stitching on the seats and the roof lining. There is also decorative stitching on the steering wheel and white piping on the seats and mats. Other features include a rearview camera, on-board computer and optional items such as an engine hood with transparent glass panels, a Bluetooth-compatible radio and carbon-ceramic brakes. It's a little less attention-grabbing than the familiar yellow car but so much sleeker.

Over 600 horses out of a twin turbo V10. You can probably stop reading here and click the read link to look at the pretty pictures. If you simply must read on, you'd be happy to know that our cohorts over at Autoblog have some thrilling news about the successor to the already popular Gallardo. The newest iteration is in the form of a split pea soup green sportscar on 'roids with a bit too much carbon fiber. No word yet on if the Lambo seen here is a prototype or the production model, but we'll see soon.

The unique Lamborghini shown here is being auctioned off for a good cause. Kruse International is auctioning of this Gallardo as part of the annual Auburn Fall Kruse Collector Car Auction. The auction will raise money for the Child Safety Network which distributes child safety information for families in the United States. The Gallardo has celebrity signatures across the hood. The car has traveled from Beverly Hills through Las Vegas to New York and finally to Kruse Auction Park in Auburn, Michigan. Samuel L. Jackson, Jewel, Randy Travis and Jon Voight are among those who signed the car on its journey. Luckily the car's CSN wrap can be removed. The preview for the auction started August 30 and the car goes on sale on Monday.

How Much Is That Gallardo In The Window?

I'm a little obsessed with luxury rental car agencies lately just because they give those of us without a few hundred thousand to spend on a car, the chance to drive for one for the day. DFW Elite Auto Rental in Texas recently added the 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder convertible to their impressive luxury car stable. It is in fact the only Gallardo Spyder in rental inventory in the United States (ooops, turns out there is more than one, see the comment below). The car was named the "Best Sports Car" of 2006 by Robb Report and can hit a maximum speed of 195 mph (just a bit speedier than your average rental). At $3,150 for a 24-hour period on the weekend it's a lot pricer than your average rental but what an experience.

The Lamborghini package includes a double room on the hotel's butler service floor with complimentary champagne 24 hours a day and access to a private library.
