Review: Lego Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia

If you can't afford a full-fledged Lamborghini (and who can, really?), there's always this 801-piece Lego Polizia version, complete with a 5.2-liter V-10 engine and onboard defibrillator, for just $60.

If only the two Lamborghini Gallardos owned by the Italian State Police were made of Legos. Sigh. Then it wouldn't have been a big deal when a cop disassembled one in a smackdown with a car pulling out of a gas station. Fortunatamente, you can reenact this scene over and over again with the 1/17-scale Lego Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia. What this Lego-ghini lacks in horsepower it makes up for in detail – 801 pieces of it. Starting with a miniature replica of the Gallardo's 5.2-liter V-10 engine, it has everything you need to play polizia, including a radio, a radar gun, and a cooler for high-speed donor-organ deliveries. There's even an onboard defibrillator, presumably for restarting the tickers of bad guys who get cardiac-arrested when the 5-0 appears behind them in a $225,000 road rocket.
