The LAPD Has a Lamborghini

Have you ever been on the highway when a motorcycle speeds by you at a million miles an hour?  Do you think to yourself who in the world is going to catch these guys?  Well the LAPD may have figured that out.  Check out the newest member to the fleet of LAPD police cars, a Lamborghini Gallardo!  That’s right, this is not a joke, the LAPD really does have a Lamborghini police car.  Lambo police cars have been popping up all over the world in major cities actually.  We’ve already seen them in London, Dubai and Italy, but this is the first to hit the US.

Los Angeles is actually one of the biggest markets for Lamborghini’s.  The Lambo for the LAPD is an older model Gallardo and actually has it’s own Twitter and Facebook page.  How did the LAPD afford a luxury sports car to use in its fleet?  Well it’s actually on loan from a couple named Nathalie and Travis Marg.  Unfortunately, since the car is on loan it won’t ever be used during a real police chase.  It’s sad we know.  I would have loved to see OJ being chased around in his Jeep by one of these bad boys.  But anyway, it is more of a promotional vehicle to draw attention to charitable work and other events hosted by the police department.

I’ve never lived in LA, but I have heard the traffic is absolutely horrible.  So maybe a Lamborghini doesn’t make too much sense anyway.  No one is speeding that fast because there’s nowhere to move!  It would be pretty cool to get a ticket from this car though.  Maybe the cop would even let you take a selfie with it.
