Don't even think about trying to outrun the cops in Lazio, Italy, unless you can do 204 mph because the boys in blue are rollin' in a 560-horsepower Lamborghini Gallardo that'll do 203.Mama Mia! I can't wait for someone, perhaps an enterprising O Sole Mio, to steal it, repaint it and sell it on the black market to some Third World drug lord.

This is not the first Lamborghini that our Police has received. However, to the best of the general public 's knowledge here in Italy, cops have never used it in any kind of "dangerous" pursuit. It has been basically used for organs transportation. Oh, almost forgot, they also used it in the filming of Oceans' Twelve.
But hey, they are the Only Ones, gotta have a Lambo :)
i see a clutch, but i don't see a stick. interesting.
there isn't a road in italy that you could take this over 100, 110 mph on without eventually hitting a bump that would send it sailing through the air. or a pedestrian.
someone skilled enough to survive a chase on a cycle could outrun and outmaneuver a lambo driven by a cop who gets to practice chases maybe once a month.
Might have an racing paddles to shift with.
What if the speeder is driving a Bugatti Veyron?
Jonathan,
the pedal on the left is used just as a support for the left foot. The car is equipped with an E-gear semi-automatic transmission. By pulling or pushing the paddles that you can see behind the wheel you can change gear without clutch.
As far as the roads in Italy, you are right, on many roads you can't do more than 100 or 120. However, on the toll roads, it is possible to make 200. In fact, it is not uncommon to hear about people whose license got suspended because they were doing 180.
Kind regards
Semi-automatic?
You mean it's an "assault transmission"?
Oh, wait, no, it's an Onlyonemobile. That makes it a "patrol transmission."
:)
Hehehe, was expecting for someone to notice the "semi-automatic" pun, which was totally intended!
