Howling down the road at 145 miles per hour, the Italian State Police raced from Rome to Gemelli University Hospital — located in the northern city of Padua — to deliver a donor’s kidney, according to The Drive.
It was a 303-mile trip, and they reached the hospital within about two hours.
The police used a specially modified Lamborghini Huracan, which, apart from the usual bells and whistles, also includes a refrigerated trunk, sirens and police computers.
Cross-country organ delivery isn’t its only job, though, as the high performance sports car is also used to carry out traffic stops and arrests.
Watch the video below that features the incredible, life saving journey:
