The Lamborghini Urus Performante Polizia: A Super SUV for the Italian State Police

The Italian State Police has a new addition to its fleet of patrol vehicles: the Lamborghini Urus Performante Polizia. This is the sixth Lamborghini model to join the police force since 2004 when the first Gallardo was delivered. The Urus Performante Polizia is a special version of the Urus Performante, the high-performance variant of the Urus, the world’s first Super SUV.

What makes the Urus Performante Polizia special?

The Urus Performante Polizia was customized by Lamborghini technicians at Sant’Agata Bolognese, following the police specifications. The exterior features a distinctive livery designed by Lamborghini Centro Stile, combining the classic blue color of the Italian State Police with white and tricolor bands on the sills and seat belt. The police logos are applied to the doors in reflective film, while a light bar with 360° blue LED lights is installed on the roof, along with a two-tone electric siren.

The interior is equipped with various elements that are essential for the public security service, such as:

an armored weapon box
a flip-down message display
a special compartment in the trunk for stowing service equipment and a defibrillator for first aid response
a portable fridge for the transportation of organs, including a display and data logger for the continuous monitoring of the internal temperature

The Urus Performante Polizia also has a sophisticated communication system that allows exchanging information and images with the police headquarters and other patrol vehicles.

What are the performance and capabilities of the Urus Performante Polizia?

The Lamborghini Urus Performante Polizia is powered by a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine that delivers 666 hp and 850 Nm of torque, enabling it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 306 km/h. The engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and a permanent all-wheel drive system with active torque vectoring. The Urus Performante Polizia also features a carbon ceramic braking system, an adaptive air suspension, and a rear-wheel steering system.

The Urus Performante Polizia can handle any terrain and weather condition, thanks to its ANIMA (Adaptive Network Intelligence Management) selector that allows the driver to choose between six driving modes: STRADA, SPORT, CORSA, NEVE (snow), TERRA (off-road), and SABBIA (sand). The Urus Performante Polizia also has a custom EGO mode that enables the driver to personalize the settings of the engine, transmission, steering, suspension, and traction control.

The Urus Performante Polizia is not only a fast and agile vehicle but also a versatile and reliable one. It can be used for special services such as the urgent medical transport of organs and plasma, as well as for regular patrol and surveillance duties. The Urus Performante Polizia is also a symbol of the close collaboration between Automobili Lamborghini and the Italian State Police, which has been ongoing for almost 20 years.

How does the Urus Performante Polizia compare to other Lamborghini models in the police fleet?

The Lamborghini Urus Performante Polizia is the latest and most advanced Lamborghini model to enter the police fleet, following the Gallardo and the Huracán. The Gallardo was the first Lamborghini to be delivered to the police in 2004 and was later replaced by a newer version in 2008. The Gallardo was used for highway patrol and emergency services until 2017 when it was retired after clocking over 140,000 km. The Huracán was introduced in 2015 and is still in service today. The Huracán is a mid-engine supercar that has a 5.2-liter V10 engine with 610 horsepower and 560 Nm of torque and can reach a top speed of 325 km/h.

The Urus Performante Polizia is different from the Lamborghini Gallardo and the Lamborghini Huracán in several aspects. It is the first SUV to join the police fleet and the first to have a turbocharged engine. It is also the most powerful, the heaviest, and the most spacious Lamborghini in the police fleet. The Urus Performante Polizia has a curb weight of 2,200 kg, a length of 5,112 mm, a width of 2,016 mm, and a height of 1,638 mm. It can accommodate up to five passengers and has a luggage capacity of 616 liters.

The Urus Performante Polizia is a unique and innovative vehicle that combines a Lamborghini's performance and design with an SUV's functionality and practicality. It is a testament to the excellence and innovation of the Italian automotive industry and a proud partner of the Italian State Police.
