1986-1993 Lamborghini LM002 - Collectible Classic

[Bartek S.]

If you share the belief that the best comedy comes from the unexpected and the absurd, then you'll love the trucks those lunatics at Lamborghini built twenty-some years ago. Loving it, however, still won't quite help your brain reconcile what the vehicle is actually supposed to be.
From the cabin, you might think you're in a Countach, except that the windshield is as big and vertical as a Times Square billboard. The aromatic leather makes you think you're in an expensive handbag, and you'll feel as cramped as you would inside a Fendi. Squeezed into the driver's seat-one of four supernarrow, supportive buckets that were designed for someone whose posterior is smaller than yours-you'll have a little, three-spoke Nardi steering wheel stuffed between your knees. The wheel is canted so the top of its rim is only millimeters from the instrument panel, leaving barely enough room for your fingers. And yet the tall gearshift lever is located what feels like two car widths to your right across a vast cabin. The engraved knob atop the shifter shows a five-speed pattern with a dogleg first (down and to the left), just like in the Co

Just read this a few weeks ago when my issue came in the mail. I absolutely loved this vehicle back in the day, still do. Nothing like it other than a H1 Hummer.

There's just something so deliciously (and acceptably) ostentatious about this car.

And it is so huge and looks so powerful when you see it for real.. I've seen this particular car in the Lamborghini museum one year ago. This is one really special Lamborghini. Look at the distance from driver's to co-driver's seat..

1989 Lamborghini LM002 in great condition on sale for 132,950 EUR

Driven for 18,000 km
A properly maintained 1989 Lamborghini LM002 is on sale at Gallery Brummen in The Netherlands.

Lamborghini's first ever SUV is a rare piece as only around 300 cars were ever made between 1986 and 1993. The "Rambo Lambo" here is in a very good condition and was driven for only 18,000 km (11,184 miles). The ad specifies it's in a "perfectly working and driving" condition and comes with a beige interior although the rear-left seat has a different hue.

The listing doesn't mention what powers the LM002 but most likely it's the Countach-sourced V12 5.2-liter. Upon request, Lamborghini also built the vehicle with a V12 7.2-liter derived from Class 1 offshore powerboats. The vehicle pictured here can be had for 132,950 EUR (about 180,400 USD or 106,300 EUR).

Its spiritual successor, the Lamborghini Urus, is scheduled to come out in 2017 and could end up being the company's first ever model to feature a turbocharged engine.
