POLIZIA by LAMBORGHINI


A private ceremony was held at the Viminale Palace where Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. donated a police version of the company's newest super sports car, Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia, to the head of the Italian State Police, Prefect Antonio Manganelli. The new Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia, which replaces the previous Lamborghini Gallardo Police Car in use by the Italian police force since 2004 has a 560 horsepower engine that can reach speeds of up to 203 mph. The car will begin service with the Lazio Highway Police Department in order to continue accident and crime prevention to sustain security on the Italian roads.

Proof of outstanding reliability

Its predecessor is proof of Lamborghini's outstanding product quality. Since 2004, Rome's police force has had the first-generation Lamborghini Gallardo in regular police service. The sports car has clocked nearly 87,000 miles of patrol duty on the motorways of central and southern Italy, as well as on emergency medical transport detail.

A second Gallardo, painted in blue and white police colors, has been in service around Bologna, Italy since 2005. Its odometer already shows more than 62,000 miles. Aside from regular servicing, neither of the super sports cars has required major repairs. In addition to the clearly effective deterrent offered by the presence and visibility of a Lamborghini on the highway, the technological equipment on board these vehicles makes them highly effective in the control of hazardous behaviour on the roads (high speeds, driving in the emergency lane, dangerous over-taking); the automatic recognition of number plate tracking and real-time transmission of images to the control rooms.

High-tech video system with real-time retrieval

The cabin of the super sports car is fitted with the latest advancements in police technology to immediately document the evidence of any transgression. The video system is positioned in the center of the cabin with a camera fitted next to the rear view mirror and a computer and recording equipment behind the seats. As soon as police officers discover a suspicious driver, they activate the "Proof Video Data System." With the help of GPS data, the device can calculate the location, direction of movement and speed of the Lamborghini. This combined with the distance and time before intercept, accurately determines the speed of the vehicle being pursued. Using radio data transmission, the video system in the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia transfers its images in real time to the relevant police station. There, the videos are stored and used for automatic number plate retrieval. This information can be used for immediate identification of stolen vehicles.


The "classic" array of police equipment on board too

In addition to its high tech equipment, the Gallardo is also fitted with the "classic" array of police equipment, such as a gun holster, police radio equipment and the "Paletta," the traditional hand-held stop sign used to advise motorists and traffic offenders to pull over. Officers can then use a removable screen to show offenders their misdeeds immediately, complete with an overlay of all the associated data.

Rapid response in medical emergencies

The Lamborghini is used regularly for urgent medical transportation too. The luggage compartment in the front of the vehicle is equipped with a specialized refrigeration system for safe transportation of donor organs. For extreme emergencies, there is also a defibrillator used to restore a normal heart rhythm to patients by delivering an electrical shock to the heart to stop massive cardiac arrhythmia or ventricular fibrillation, and thus save lives.

Even the blue light is designed for speed

Now the successor is ready - a new generation Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 with the very latest in special equipment. The Lamborghini wears its uniform with pride, painted in accordance with requirements in "blu Polizia" - whereby the white stripes and lettering follow the Gallardo's dynamic design angles. Its main patrol beat will once again be central and southern Italy, primarily on the motorway between Salerno and Reggio Calabria.

The police beacon on the roof of the Gallardo had to be aerodynamically optimized being that the new police car reaches a considerably higher top speed than regular service vehicles. Despite the extremely flat construction of the signal lighting, blue LEDs are fitted round the base to ensure the visual signal cannot be missed. The roof-mounted lighting is supported by further blue LED signals on the front, sides and rear of the light's aluminium shell. A total of four sirens integrated into the front and rear of the Gallardo generate unmistakable audible warning signals.


On duty even in New York

Just like its predecessor, the new Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia is destined to be not only the fastest, but also the most famous police car - even beyond Italian borders. The Italian State Police uniform, and the unquestionable attraction of the Lamborghini brand, continue to arouse curiosity and interest. Thousands of citizens have the possibility to see the car for themselves during the many events organized to promote the vehicles in use. Alongside its daily operational duties, the Gallardo also has regular public appearance obligations, such as its role as parade leader every year in Rome's traditional "Festa di Polizia," or its escort responsibilities at events with historical vehicles, like the Targa Florio and the Milan - San Remo Rally. Its predecessor even represented the Italian police in New York City at the 2005 "Columbus Day" parade.

Spherical Hours Eris


Eris - the biggest-dwarf planet in the solar system. In addition, it is the ninth largest (2500 km in diameter), the heavenly body revolves around the sun. Named in honor of the world watches Eris, of course, can not boast of such size, but they are made in Switzerland, and this share is already a big plus for hours. Time, two arrows indicate moving on «equator»: Orange is counting minutes, White - hours. Corps device is made of aluminum. Eris can be worn as a pocket watch or pendant, as well as use as a desktop clock. But it will cost pocket «planet» quite expensive - 450 dollars.

Folding Guitar


Airline pilot Fredrik Johansson is also a guitarist, and got sick and tired of shoehorning his axe onto planes. That's why the resourceful Swede invented a folding guitar, and after putting together a staff of woodworkers, geeks, musicians and luthiers, he's finally brought his creation to market. The result is the DeVillain Guitar Company, and its first product, Centerfold, is a fold-up electric guitar made of Honduras mahogany that fits into a backpack that you can take just about anywhere.

As you collapse the guitar neck using its folding mechanism made of aircraft-grade aluminum, the strings roll up into the guitar. Then when it's time to lay down a few tunes at your destination, this baby goes from backpack to unfolded guitar in 20 seconds. Of course, you'll probably have to spend a minute or two tuning it up every time, but you'll be doing that anyway. This solves a major problem with portable guitars, most of which look weird and sound worse.

Eco-Sensitive Mobile Phone



This “eco-sensitive” mobile phone with four different module interfaces that keeps it upgraded with the latest in technology. The modules being vision, location, sound and sensor, cater to your needs and can be added to the phone by developers or independently. The eco-friendly stamp of approval comes from the recycled materials that it is made of. It’s been designed in collaboration with Samsung Corp Milano.

The back of the phone hosts a PLCD which transforms from opaque to transparent depending upon the intensity of the juice levels. A graphical interface pops up to give you some quick stats on various things like the music you’re listening to or your location.

To enhance the performance of the phone, it can take on two more add-ons. The LCD add-on can be combined with each module and can work independent from the phone. The second add-on is an electronic sensor that helps you monitor your energy consumption.

OLED monitor


This flexible OLED monitor concept which supposes the OLED material would roll up inside the white stand and allow the user to choose the optimum screen size. Supposing that the material could compact itself that tightly, he goes on and mounts a cd drive behind the translucent screen and for good measure throws some invisible projection technology in as well.

don’t mean to be overly harsh on Mac, but the nature of design is deriving realistic solutions from the hard fast constraints that exist. Without heeding the problems of design, it ceases to be relevant.

suppose I should have expected reactions like this and I’m glad such a discourse has a place here at YD. I do want to clarify my position slightly as I do not want to seem dismissive of the great work that is featured here on a daily basis.

Concepts are a great part of the design process as they allow you to selectively hurdle one or two constraints for the purpose of creative exploration. So I hope the dreamers out there will continue to dream and give us your beautiful, fantastic, incredible inventions.

Boomer Mobility

Breaking away from the utilitarian forms and hospital aesthetic, designer Daniel Molloy from Monash University has come up with an innovative mobility aid for the elderly that will help them moving safely not just on the floor but stairs as well. Dubbed “Boomer,” the mobility aid features easy height adjustment to accommodate different users, together with a user-friendly push button release that collapses the walker for easy storage and transportation. What separates the Boomer from the rest is its stair-ready function, transforming the ordinary walker into a device that allows safe movement while climbing and getting down the stairs. The chair also presents a padded seat and backrest, ensuring optimum comfort for the users. While the zipper and fold out nylon storage bag attached to the backrest provides enough space for personal belongings. Moreover, its sleek organic form, achieved by a manufacturing process called gas-assisted injection molding, allows a higher stiffness-to-weight ratio, which remarkably reduces the weight of the Boomer.

God’s Skull Of The Ocean


Given the amazing economic state that we’re in, and the fact that you’re certainly one of those lucky recipients of those six-figure holiday bonuses, you’re more than ready to hear the full details behind the “Oculus.” This yacht’s unique shape “is representative of the jaw and eye socket bone structure of large oceanic fish and mammals.” What does that tell you? It’s not quite [biomimicry], but it does really look at home in the sea.

Oculus is the first “design launch” of Schöpfer Yachts LLC. This 250-foot vessel was designed by E. Kevin Schöpfer, founder and owner of his namesake company. Designed to accommodate 12 guests in extraordinary comfort and style, Oculus is a long distance cruising yacht capable of speeds upwards of 25 knots. The exterior styling is representative of the jaw and eye socket bone structure of large oceanic fish and mammals. Featuring a dramatic reverse bow configuration, the yacht’s armature balances an elegant expression of symmetry and structure. In addition to the bow, Oculus also features a “low rider profile”. This slightly lowered surface allows for new side recreational areas, alternate dockage access and light cruising openness.

Lateral retractable side panels close this area when heavier wave action is indicated. The interior features of Oculus focus on a 12 foot high ceiling in the main salon, a cylindrical double height dining room, central stair and elevator tube, and seemingly anatomical ceiling and floor lighting extensions giving definition to the seating areas. The second level is the dedicated Owner’s suite.

Living areas and bedchambers are divided by a series of four freestanding tubes, which house bath and storage necessities.
