Crime intervention the Italian way.

Thankfully, no-one seriously hurt, and it was one of the older cars, not the new LP560-4 that they have.

With all the cameras and telemetry on board, finding the cause of the accident should be straightforward.

BBC News said "Italian police have crashed their most valuable patrol car, a 165,000-euro (£150,000) Lamborghini.

The accident happened near the northern Italian town of Cremona where it was on display at a student jobs fair.

Reports say the car swerved to avoid another vehicle which crossed into its path, ploughing into two stationary cars. It was damaged beyond repair.

One of the two officers in the vehicle at the time of the incident suffered a broken rib, the other received bruises.

The Lamborghini car, painted in the Italian police force's blue and white colours, was a gift to the force from the carmakers in 2004.

The six-speed luxury vehicle with a 500-horsepower engine is designed to go from zero to 100km/h (60mph) in four seconds."

Doesn't look "damaged beyond repair" to me...

So who's a naughty boy then Jon?

When we were at the Lamborghini factory recently, the policia Lambo was there for "additional work". All very hush hush and definitely NO PHOTOGRAPS allowed.

Well one half of it doesn't. Would imagine that the bit under the other car is a bit of a mess.

What's a 5 year old, probably fairly highish mileage Gallardo worth? No longer one careful owner.

I also saw one in the Lamborghini factory museum this summer. It was up stairs on display. How many did they actually make?

Drive a Diablo with sandals or trainers and you will see that you brake and accelerate at the same time. I had just taken it off, went to start the car, had to get back out to turn the kill switch back on.
