Lamborghini has kindly donated a police version of the company's newest super sports car, Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia. The Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia powered by 560 horsepower engine that can reach speeds of up to 203 mph. It sported a recording video system, as soon as police officers discover a suspicious driver, with the help of GPS data, the device can calculate the location, direction of movement and speed of the Lamborghini. Using radio data transmission, the video system in the Gallardo Polizia transfers its images in real time to the relevant police station.

Basically if your in Italy and do something wrong... you may find this chasing you GOOD LUCK!!!

On April 9, Stolen Space presents an exhibition highlighting 10 of work by the London Police.


This show is a celebration of a decade of work by the duo and for the 1st time collaborating what has become vastly different styles. While one artist’s skill at drawing a circle ‘freehand’ is staggering, no compasses, guides or masks are used. While the other, since his departure in 2004, has developed his own imagery, an architectural style of line drawing. In these playful fantasy cityscapes ‘the lads’ are constructed and move around freely, in turn helping to build further elements of the city. They wanted to create a place full of interaction between their circle drawing and line drawing.

This show will feature new works from the The London Police on linen & canvas, video installation and photography…. as well as see the release of a new limited edition hand pulled screen print.

‘10 Years on the Circle Line’ closes on April 26, 2009. StolenSpace, 91 Brick Lane, London, E1.
