Scoop 0 #1 January 6, 2007 Isn't she gorgeous? 640bhp, does 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds and has a top speed of 211 mph Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 The more local amongst you might realise its not possible to get to 60 MPH in London traffic let alone anywhere near 211 MPH but its just a promotional vehicle. Theres no plans to use it as a response vehicle...... yet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigway 4 #2 January 6, 2007 Nice to see the tax payers dollar being wasted. They could have bought a dozen or so patrol cars or hired more coppers for what that would cost to buy and then they yearly inssurance of that car is probably a cops salary. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Scoop 0 #3 January 6, 2007 They didn't buy it, it was loaned to them as a publicity stunt so no wasted money A lot of police vehicles are loaned or donated by local business Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scoop 0 #5 January 6, 2007 Haha, well according to the source it says they had to cover the vehicle up as so many people were staring it nearly caused several accidents So I guess some must like it. I certainly do Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skytash 0 #7 January 6, 2007 definitely a nice car and good to know that my tax pounds (as I don't pay tax dollars yet) aren't paying for it. What I'm not sure about is that if it is a promotional vehicle - what is it promoting? If they are looking to promote the fact that there is a police force in London - more coppers would do that better than a car. If they are trying to promote that even a copper can be cool - also not sure it does that as it's not like anyone is going to be allowed to take out on the pull with them. tashDon't ever save anything for a special occasion.

bazelos 0 #21 January 6, 2007 Cars suck ass, too much! Give a cop a Duc 1098 (hey, it's brand new, too!) and see if anyone can outrun it. QuoteIs it true most British cops don't even carry guns?
