Italian Police Use Lamborghini To Transport Donor Kidney 300 Miles In Two Hours

Saturday 3:00PM Filed to: LAMBORGHINI
In what may be one of the most Italian things that has ever happened, the Italian State Police rushed a donor kidney from Padua to Rome for a transplant in a Lamborghini Huracan. Last weeks journey is around 300 miles, but with the help of a specially-outfitted supercar, the police made it happen in just about two hours at an average speed of 143 mphand thats a journey that normally takes around six.
The police posted a video of the Lambo after the completed journey, and it is just delightful:

Grazie alla nostra
@Lamborghini
Huracan abbiamo trasportato in tempo il rene di un donatore per il trapianto a una persona
Per salvare una vita non servono superpoteri anche solidarietà, tecnologia ed efficienza aiutano

"A Google Maps view of the Policlinico Universitario in Padua, the starting hospital, doesnt seem to show a helipad or an easily accessible flat area nearby"
