The gendarmes from the Nice motorway squad were stationed on the Var plain when the sports car sped off at full speed, displaying a speed of 264 km/h on their speedometer (mobile radar embedded in the gendarmerie vehicle).
They intercepted the individual on board at the Saint-Isidore tollbooth, in Nice (Alpes-Maritimes). According to our information, he is the son of a Qatari personality. He was driving a car registered in Switzerland.
The man did not have a driving licence from a European Union country and was unable to provide an international driving licence. According to the police, he will therefore be prosecuted for driving without a licence.
He immediately paid a pre-judgment deposit of 4,500 euros and the Lamborghini Urus was impounded.”The floor [de Nice] was very firm, it was the prosecutor himself who handled the case“, indicates a police source.
The Lamborghini Urus has been impounded.
