Italian police used a Lamborghini Huracan to transport a kidney 303 miles.

 

The trip normally takes six hours but by using the privileges of a police car and the crazy speed of the car, the kidney was delivered in just two hours. In fact, the vehicle managed an average speed between the hospitals of 145mph.

The Lamborghini Huracan had been purchased by the Italian police in 2017 and had been customized for these kinds of situations. 

The car already had a refrigerated trunk and a defibrillator that made it ideal for the task that is normally performed by choppers. However, why an alternative to a helicopter would be needed has not been cleared out.

The police went to Twitter to thank those who made this unusual method of kidney transportation possible.

The high-speed journey began in Rome and finished at the Gemelli University Hospital in Padua. 

The posted video illustrates a smooth journey, although, with the average speed in mind, it is likely that the driver was not so calm behind the wheel.

It is currently not clear why standard practices with a helicopter were not used, and additional information about this journey may come to light in the near future. 

In addition, there may have been someone in the police force who really needed to justify purchasing the Lamborghini Huracan in the first place.

Either way, this seems to be a very unique way to deliver a donated kidney, and the recipient will likely be grateful for the fast arrival.
