Yup! This was something that made Mach Alert so cool in Car Robot back in 2000, because by then there were some police forces (highway patrols) who were using Lamborghinis. So as outrageous as it looks, it does work as a robot in disguise. Okay, maybe not necessarily a Diablo or Countach, but it's plausible since there are other types of police Lamborghinis IRL (e.g. Gallardo). Albeit not Japan, and these are all coloured like Japanese police cars, but hey... again, plausible.

But for me the main appeal was the homage to Diaclone. There's also a small reference to Mach Alert with the CR03 number plate. Although I must say that the retooling done to the head and shins to make the toy more toy-accurate is very awesome. I only wish that MP Sunstreaker used this mould (give me toy accuracy over cartoon likeness any day).
