At the age of 5, one of the twin Italian police Lamborghinis is, alas, no more. Adopted by the Polizia di Stato ('Polizia') in 2004, the Gallardos, painted in traditional powder blue with white stripes, patrolled the motorways just for a lark, really. Although it was suggested - through the inclusion of a defibrillator in each vehicle - that there was some serious intent to their existence, everyone knew it was all a massive publicity stunt.
All that came to an end for one of the plucky pair, however, on a dark, wet, treacherous road near Cremona, northern Italy. Though details are hard to come by, reports suggest that the Lambo may have been the victim of carlsaughter: it swerved to avoid a vehicle which strayed into its path, before ploughing into a row of parked cars.
No longer will the Polizia awake to the sight of the Lambo. The garage will remain cold and empty.
A moment's silence, please, for the passing of a legend...
