A unique model of the raging bull SUV fitted out for organ transport and special services was presented in Rome.

The successful twenty-year collaboration between Automobili Lamborghini and the Italian “Polizia di Stato” continues.

This time, the Sant’Agata Bolognese carmaker has delivered a Urus Performante to the Italian Highway Police, which will enter into service in 2024.

The ceremony took place in Rome today, Tuesday, December 12, in Piazza del Viminale, outside the Ministry of the Interior headquarters.

Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, handed over the keys to the Minister of the Interior, Matteo Piantedosi, in the presence of Head of Police, Vittorio Pisani.

The collaboration between Automobili Lamborghini and the Italian State Police started in 2004, and the Urus Performante is the sixth model to enter the Highway Police fleet. The SUV joins the Huracán LP610-4 and will be used for special services including the urgent medical transport of organs and plasma.

The Urus Performante was fitted out by Lamborghini technicians at Sant’Agata Bolognese, starting from the exterior, following police specifications.

The livery was designed by Lamborghini Centro Stile and combines the classic blue colour of the Italian State Police and white, with tricolour 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° blue LED lights has been installed on the roof, together with a two-tone electric siren.

“It is with great pleasure that we are continuing our twenty-year cooperation with the Italian State Police,” commented Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.

“Knowing that our cars are used for public duties and, above all, for crucial operations to save human lives, can only make me and the whole company proud. These initiatives, which bring us great satisfaction, demonstrate our innate close ties with Italy.”
