Lamborghini LM002

The Lamborghini LM002 was a high-performance off-road vehicle built by Lamborghini between 1986 and 1993, an unusual departure for a company known for hand-built sports cars. Two earlier prototypes, the Cheetah and the LM001, used rear-mounted American engines and were aimed at military buyers but were not well received. The handling problems of a rear engine led to a new chassis with the V12 from the Countach moved to the front, and that became the LM002, the first of the three to reach production. It carried a 169 litre fuel tank, and a marine 7.2 litre V12 could be ordered for more power. A total of 301 were built, and the Urus is regarded as its successor.
