The vehicles have been specially tweaked for police tasks, receiving the latest voice recognition technology including the EVA (Enhanced Vehicle Automation) system.
In addition, a special portable refrigeration compartment has been fitted behind the front seats which will allow for the rapid transport of vital organs and blood required during medical emergencies.
"Everyone knows that Italy has more than it's fair share of high profile sports car manufacturers so it is a real honour for a relatively small British brand to be in this position. The feedback from the driver training on the Evora S at our test track was very positive, it's such a responsive car to drive, I think the teams in Rome and Milan are really going to feel the benefit of working with our product,” said Group Lotus Chief Executive Officer Dany Bahar.
"Our special Lotus Evoras combine the very best of our technology with excellent British engineering from Lotus. Not just anyone can drive these cars, we carefully selected some of our team to attend a driver training session at the new test track at Lotus' headquarters in Hethel, Norfolk where they learnt all about the very special characteristics and incredible potential of the cars," added Carabinieri spokesperson, Colonel Marco Minicucci.
The Lotus Evora S uses a 3.5-liter engien coupled with a 6-speed manual transmission, and is capable of reaching a top speed of 277 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds.
