Lamborghini LM 002 (1989)

Introduced in 1985, the Lamborghini LM002's roots can be traced back to Lamborghinis two primary businesses. Most commonly known for their high performance and radically designed supercars, Lamborghini are also at the forefront of the agricultural equipment sector, primarily in the form of Tractors. The LM 002 can be seen as the perfect synthesis of these two wildly contrasting specialities producing a V-12 engine, four-wheel drive brute.

After a request to produce a military vehicle for the US in conjunction with Chrysler which subsequently failed after suffering from being underpowered with poor weight distribution. Lamborghini pressed ahead with their own interpretation of the ultimate off-roader.

Despite its monstrous size at 4.96m long, over 200cm wide, 185cm height and a weight of almost 3 tonnes, the LM 002 was no slouch. Lamborghini installed the same V-12 engine as seen in the Countach, which propelled the LM up to a top speed of 126mph, and a 0-60mph time of just 8.5 seconds being labelled the "fastest off-roader in the world". Combine this with an all independent suspension system and large ground clearance, the LM 002 proved to be highly effective off-road.

In addition to its unbelievable performance, the LM 002 was also packed with luxuries including leather upholstery, air conditioning, deep pile carpeting, a wooden dash and many electrical comforts unseen in any other all-terrain vehicle.

Just 328 LM 002s were produced between 1986 and 1992 costing more new than a Countach. Only a small number of LMs were destined for Military use, with the majority of cars being quickly adopted by lavish civilian consumers.

This particular car was delivered to Germany on the 4th April 1989, where it remained until 1995. Covering just 19,200 Kms since new. The exterior is finished in a vivacious Desert Sand Gold Metallic, whilst the interior is laden with cream leather and wooden details, what one would expect from one of the world's foremost supercar manufacturers. The rear bed is accompanied with a large storage box with padded seating to seat two additional passengers.

The car represents a very interesting opportunity to purchase a fine example of a very capable car both on and off road, to be admired at every occasion. Now back in the UK, this rare and iconic car is offered for sale having had a recent service and is available to view at our showroom based just outside London.
