"During the 1980s, Lamborghini was already known for its poster-worthy supercars like the Countach, but the LM002 marked a complete departure from the brand's formula. Originally conceived from a failed military contract prototype, Lamborghini pivoted to create a civilian-friendly version that retained its aggressive, utilitarian DNA. The result was a 6,780-pound SUV fitted with a detuned version of the same 5.2-liter V12 engine found in the Countach Quattrovalvole."
"The result was a 6,780-pound SUV fitted with a detuned version of the same 5.2-liter V12 engine found in the Countach Quattrovalvole. Delivering 455 horsepower through a five-speed manual gearbox and a full-time four-wheel-drive system, the LM002 was as outrageous in capability as it was in design. On-road, it could sprint with surprising quickness for its size; off-road, its Pirelli Scorpion tires-specially engineered to withstand desert sand and rocky terrain-made it virtually unstoppable."
The LM002 originated from a failed military contract prototype and became a civilian SUV that retained aggressive, utilitarian DNA. The vehicle weighed 6,780 pounds and used a detuned 5.2-liter V12 from the Countach Quattrovalvole. The powertrain produced 455 horsepower mated to a five-speed manual and full-time four-wheel drive, enabling surprising on-road quickness and exceptional off-road capability. Specially engineered Pirelli Scorpion tires allowed operation in desert sand and rocky terrain. Luxury appointments included a light tan leather interior paired with a silver exterior. Production totaled 301 units, and surviving low-mile examples, such as a 1987 model with 12,000 miles, are highly collectible.
