The Italian highway cops have their Lambo, but the hard-asses at Arma dei Carabinieri are getting two Lotus Evora S cruisers. The specially-equipped cars have voice recognition tech and a refrigerated compartment for blood-and-organs transport, or keeping their Limoncello cold.

I never quite understood the difference between the Italian Policia and the Carabinieri, but I 've always loved the Carabinieri's style. When visiting Italy for the first time I was just at awe that cops can look this cool but still frighteningly serious. German cops still looked liked like semi-military assholes in their beige and green clothes back then. (Not their fault though. They just had no choice.)
I will try to add a picture, but just in case nibbles feels hungry today, I'll also add the link.

P.P.S The picture worked. My first time! So happy!
