I remember when this thing was presented to the Police like it was yesterday

Italian police have crashed their most valuable patrol car, a 165,000-euro (£150,000) Lamborghini.

The accident happened near the northern Italian town of Cremona where it was on display at a student jobs fair.

Reports say the car swerved to avoid another vehicle which crossed into its path, ploughing into two stationary cars. It was damaged beyond repair.

One of the two officers in the vehicle at the time of the incident suffered a broken rib, the other received bruises.

The Lamborghini car, painted in the Italian police force's blue and white colours, was a gift to the force from the carmakers in 2004.

The six-speed luxury vehicle with a 500-horsepower engine is designed to go from zero to 100km/h (60mph) in four seconds.

Looks like a Land Cruiser, up and over.
Oh what a feeling, Toyota.

My money is on it being a Mercedes

Look closely and you can see the three pointed star above the rear number plate

Bahaha. I always wondered where they were going to put someone if they arrested them... passenger seat?

I must say it was also one of my favorite cars.....Bit better than the Aussie version where we have an Evo or Z4 as their promo car.

Drag them along behind the car, that'll teach'em.

Would be a promo car and highway patrol car only!. If they needed the instance where they had to arrest someone they would have the backup there already or call it in for backup (if it's a random stop), and the other vehicle would house the occupant.
