Italian Police TOTAL Lamborghini Gallardo

Exotic police car ruined after traffic accident



Italian police have long been proud of their exotic cars but their collective ego took a hit this week when a crash put their Lamborghini Gallardo out of commission for good. A traffic accident ended with a SUV parked on top of the Lamborghini's roof. The $220,000 vehicle is now about a useful as a high-end paperweight.

Asus 16″ Lamborghini laptop now available for $3,000

Back in March we told you about the ASUS 16″ Lamborghini Laptop. Now its finally available to folks who have some extra dough. By extra dough, I mean a cool $3,000 and by folks, I mean those who shop at Saks Fifth Avenue.

It features bespoke speakers, a sewn leather palm-rest, a webcam with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal lens cover, lamborghini mouse, and a matching laptop case. After laying out all of that money, you’ll be cruisin’ Windows Vista, not Windows 7, with an Intel Core2 Quad Processor.

The laptop weighs about 7.71 pounds and comes in black or white.

When the Italian police unveiled their state-of-the-art Lamborghini patrol cars, they cannot have been short of volunteers itching to take the supercars in pursuit of speeding criminals.

A team of elite drivers was trained to chase down speeding motorists and deliver urgently-needed transplant organs in the futuristic vehicles, capable of reaching more than 200mph.

What they apparently were not prepared for was a distracted motorist who pulled out of a petrol station without looking.

Today, a bandaged and bruised police driver may have had a tough time explaining how he managed to write off one of the force's prized Lamborghinis when he rammed it so hard into a line of parked cars that one of the stationary vehicles ended up on the police car's roof.

According to the police, the crash was caused by the driver of a slow-moving Seat Ibiza who emerged without looking from a service station, clipping the Lamborghini and sending the vehicle swerving into the parked cars.

The front end of the Lamborghini was crushed in the accident, near Cremona, and the driver and a passenger were injured, although not seriously.

The Lamborghini Gallardo, worth £130,000 and capable of reaching 62mph in four seconds, was one of a pair donated by the Italian manufacturer to the police to do battle on Italy's roads, where 1 million motorists are injured annually and 4,731 died last year.

Both cars include transmitters to send images back to HQ, a defibrillator for accidents and a fridge for transporting donor organs. The two officers were returning from a convention in Cremona, where they had been addressed a student audience on road safety.
