Im sure it will make for a beautiful explosion of fragile, but light weight parts. In simple terms it would last about ten minutes doing what a ragged out Crown Vic does.

It would be easy to evade these cops ... just drive down a street with speedbumps.

Speed isn't everything.

In the right environment I bet a good sport bike or dual sport could lose it.

It's all for show. For the tourists specifically.

BTW, the least the OP could have done is titled the thread correctly especially if they're linking to an article that specifically states that Dubai just got the Aventador while Italy has had the Gallardo for some time.

Sorry but the Italians have a force of 30 officers assigned to these vehicles all trained by Lamborghini.

Why do I detect a endless supply of sour grapes on this thread.

I thought we were talking about Dubai? Who cares what they are doing in Italy?

Also find it strange in a countrly where they have "Ferrari World" they have a lambo police car

Yeah the speed limit is a whopping 81 MPH or 130 KPH on a good day.

These cars are nothing more than public relations pieces that would explode like a photo degraded milk carton at the first sign of a Ronin style pursuit.
