Genius: Totaling a $250,000 Lamborghini Police Car

This is one of two $250,000 Lamborghini Gallardo police interceptors.

This is the other Gallardo after its driver lost control.

The 560bhp car was one of a pair donated by Lamborghini to help police combat speeding supercar drivers.

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi had intended to add Ferraris and Porsches -- previously seized from the Mafia -- but pricey maintenance precluded the move.

You know how your heart beats faster when you glance in the rear-view and a sheriff's deputy is filling the mirror? I think my pulse would be considerably higher if the deputy was driving a Gallardo LP-560-4 Polizia.
