I would have thought it was courtesy of a drug seizure.

You will not be able to out run that cruiser!

Outrun? I absolutely could outrun that thing... I have driven autocrosses on police qualification courses where EVERY autox-er beat the official course record. To outrun that POS all you would have to do is turn down a road with a speed bump.. they’ll high-center it.

Even if you couldn’t find a speed bump I doubt most people could drive that, especially in traffic, without wrecking.

The police do not own the car.

The couple LOANED the car to the police.

That means the couple DESIGNATE it’s use.

It is for SHOW ONLY.

Odd way to encourage the public to follow the speed limits, by driving around a car that goes 200 mph (or close).

Seems it would have the opposite effect.

Giving a cop a Lamborghini isn’t any different than giving a 16 year old kid a Lamborghini.

It will be wrecked within days.

Absolutely ,, there is a huge difference between “race track speed” and “real life speed” ,,, the driver of the lambo has very poor visibility forward , he’s too low and that car is amazingly W-I-D-E ... real roads have other cars and real hazards.. I’d choose a hot hatch ,, a GTI or Fiat 500 Arbarth ... lets see him follow an Abarth through a narrow twisty section.

What was it P.J. O’Rourke said? “Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.”

Not for long. LA is one of the car theft capitals of the world. How long before some pro boosts the Lamborghini and it gets shipped out of the country? You might even get some crooked LAPD to help it “disappear”./sarc/

If that Lambo makes it to Mexico it’s never coming back ,, most of the Mexican police cars are stolen from the USA. The used car lots here which advertised to Mexicans had no problem selling them a “buy here pay here” newer car for 20% down knowing that it was going over the border ,, never to return ... I don’t know who insures their inventory but they are STUPID with a capital STUP.
