Lamborghini made a name for itself building impractical exotic cars, but the Urus can comfortably seat five with luggage. It’s also considerably cheaper than the V10 and V12 alternatives, so it comes as no surprise that the SUV has been dominating the sales charts since its release in 2018. But the time as come for the Urus to demonstrate its versatility even more by reporting for police duty.
It's the sixth vehicle loaned by Lamborghini to the Italian police force and this one is based on the hotter Performante version. It follows in the footsteps of other raging bulls converted for police work, including the Gallardo and Huracan supercars used for high-speed organ transport. This Urus also has a special refrigerated compartment in the trunk to deliver organs to those in need of a transplant. In addition, the portable fridge can carry plasma.
