Could be, but I know the Dutch police use to have porsches and I think they did have a Lambo like this one

... Now I come to think of it, I'd rather just have the Lamborghini Gallardo.

 

[LANCER-RUNNER]

Ill do something on purpose to be taken away in those cars by cops. LOL.

They don't take you in the Lamborghini

If you got arrested, they'd bring a Paddy Wagon or some kind of sedan to pick you up.

What the hell would the police do with a lambo cop car?

 

[Lamboracer]

If you were a cop what would you do with a lambo.......

The Guardian article talks about 'transporting urgent organs for transplant' as well as the usual nicking people in italian sports cars. Wouldn't a chopper be better for both these tasks?
The Lambo was given to the Italian Police by Lamborghini themselves for some unknown reason. Perhaps it's some sort of pre-production one that they would no be able to sell to anybody?

 

[The359]

It's the Italian police force's anniversary so Lamborghini gave it to them as a present. It can be used as a pursuit vehicle but also to carry emergency medical equipment to the scene of an accident much quicker then an ambulance and whatnot.

Helicopter would still be my bet, but I appreciate they can't land easily everywhere. Still, I can think of better cars than Lamborghinis for the job.

A while back here in Australia the police force had to invest in a few Subaru Impreza WRX STi's because they'd found their big V8 Commodores simply couldn't match the Impreza's everyone was using for getaways

Boy, I don't say this often, but... what a foolish idea. Now, I've played NFS3 and the first Hot Pursuit, both on my PC. You'd might as well ask if GT4 will have spike strips, police barricades, helicopter pursuit, and whatever else the series has to offer. To me, maybe the Miura, the Diablo GT500 race car, the Diablo Supertrophy car (a joy to own in your virtual garage), maybe the Countach, and the Lamborghini Canto. But, what's the point of having a police car in GT4? They serve only one purpose- to protect and serve. And when racing, why defend the peace while racing against a pack of 5? You'd may as well ask if a Dodge Intrepid taxi cab (like here in Houston) will be in the game. Or even better, an E-150 (from Ford) Ice Cream Truck?

A Diablo police car isn't historically significant or even a good idea for a RACE car. It's a creative idea, but I just don't see that happening from a semi-professional point of view.

Unfortunately you may have opened a Pandora's Box with that Ice Cream Truck idea - first person around Seattle gets dibs on the best selling point outside the school gate.

 

[JohnBM01]

Mr. Eagle, sir... I got this idea based off of another thread. I think it was a thread someone started about this guy's mom said the Ferrari Enzo would be in GT4, when the picture was no doubt a Ferrari Enzo, but it was Project Gotham Racing 2. Then, they ripped on the dude and said in retaliation "look (undisclosed member), there's going to be an ice cream truck in GT4!"

So that's where I got the Ice Cream Truck thing from.

Intellectual property theft!

Whilst that's all very well and good, and sad on behalf of the PGR2 n00b, I still don't have ice cream, so I'm still not satisfied. Oh, and I still don't want a Lamborghini cop car, I'm sure I have my NFS3 disc somewhere...
