Ultimate police car?

Murcielago LP640. Looks kinda funky on the bottom pic, I would guess its because of the reflective paint.

MET GRABS ITSELF A LAMBO

Ultimate pursuit car breaks cover

This is the Met Police's new catch-you motor.

The 640bhp Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 will be at MPH'06 on the Met Police stand -- we hear that the 6.5-ltre V12-powered machine had to be hurried covered during the photo-shoot as it was in danger of causing traffic accidents.

However, the Met Police was at pains to say that the 211mph, £180,000 supercar hasn't been paid for with public money. But in the eight miles that the Met Police was allowed to drive it, it was stopped twice by other Met units, having committed no traffic violations. Have they nothing better to do?

The MPH'06 show starts this week.

That is one funky ass paint job on the Lambo. I saw this picture of a R34 GTR ACTUAL cop car once. Nothing compared to a Murcielago though, damn!

honestly police should drive a 300C or something... big roomy / quick

and it looks sorta like a new age modern police intercepter from Batman Returns.

on that...it'll prolly turn sideways on a straight.




Now, is it the purdiest policecar...? Yeah...I think so. So, instead of chasing down the badguys, they can like...park this puppy down the road where the badguys can SEE it...and, and as they are slowing down to whoa and :faithhillwhat: due to the beauty of the Lambo, NAB 'EM.
