Italian police took full advantage of one of their supercars to deliver a kidney for a life-saving transplant.

Reaching speeds of up to 230kph (143mph) officers drove their blue and white-coloured Lamborghini Huracian LP610-4 from the northern town of Padova, 500 kilometres (310 miles) down south to a hospital in Rome.

The officers had left at 10.30am in the morning and they arrived two hours later a journey that would normally take about six hours.
