The perfect gifts this holiday season weren’t delivered in any odd sleigh.
Italian police used their souped-up luxury Lamborghini Huracán to deliver two kidneys to recipients in need, the department shared Tuesday.
“Traveling on the highway to deliver probably the most beautiful Christmas present: life,” the Polizia di Stato wrote on Facebook. “Because of the State Police special Santa Claus, two people were gifted a kidney … Have life!”
Police rushed the kidneys from Padua roughly 105 miles to Modena after which one other 250 miles to Rome, the Guardian reported.
The department shared photos of its officers delivering the organs from the sleek white and blue sports automotive into the hands of hospital employees.
Lamborghini gifted the department two of the specialty cars — which may rev from 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds and to a maximum speed of over 200 mph — specifically for the urgent transport of organs.
The department’s Lambo is outfitted with a refrigerated medical compartment to preserve the fragile cargo.

Officers have used the Huracán in a series of life-saving deliveries.
In November 2020, police clocked a median speed of 145 miles per hour to move a kidney greater than 300 miles in only two hours, the Drive said.
