Lamborghini And The Italian Police Celebrate 20 Years Of Collaboration
Automobili Lamborghini and the Italian ‘Polizia di Stato’ are proudly commemorating 20 years of partnership, which began in 2004 with the delivery of a Lamborghini Gallardo. This collaboration has enabled the Italian State Police to utilize a selection of high-performance vehicles essential for patrolling and emergency medical services. These vehicles have successfully executed over 200 organ transport missions across Italy, significantly aiding in saving lives. Furthermore, they have engaged in more than 1,500 road safety educational initiatives to foster a culture of safe driving.
‘We take great pride in celebrating two decades of collaboration with the Italian State Police, an organization we highly regard for its continual efforts to ensure the safety of Italian citizens,’ stated Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. ‘It brings us immense satisfaction to know our vehicles have aided the police in their duties and played a role in saving lives. This partnership symbolizes a deep connection between Automobili Lamborghini and Italy, along with its institutions.’
‘The twenty-year synergy with Automobili Lamborghini reinforces the commitment of the Italian State Police to fulfilling a delicate task such as the urgent transport of organs, an activity carried out in close collaboration with the National Transplantation Centre. It helps to make one of the missions of the Polizia di Stato increasingly tangible, which is to serve all citizens,’ said the Chief of Police and Director General of Public Security, Prefect Vittorio Pisani. ‘The Lamborghinis used, from the Gallardo to the latest Urus, allow us to rely on state-of-the-art equipment and technology, ensuring that our specially trained drivers can carry out this vital service quickly and with maximum safety.’
A total of six vehicles have joined the Italian State Police fleet over 20 years, each with specific features and advanced technologies designed to support safe and emergency operations and create a partnership rich in stories and significant events.
The collaboration began in 2004 when Automobili Lamborghini delivered the first Gallardo 510-4 to the Italian State Police, delivering the first organ transport in September of that year.
Automobili Lamborghini is honored to continue this historic partnership, which emphasizes innovation and social commitment through vehicles that not only achieve exceptional performance but also support the Italian State Police in their most critical missions.
