The LM 002 was first introduced as a concept car known as the
Cheetah in the late 1970s. The Cheetah was a mid-engine truck
designed to be used by the military. These plans fell through so
Lamborghini decided to make a civilian version and resurrect these
plans in the mid-1980s. The mid-engine Chrysler V8 layout was
changed in favor of a front engine Lamborghini V12 sourced from
none other than the Countach. The LM 002 boasted a 76-gallon fuel
tank and specially designed Pirelli Scorpion tires-a run-flat
design reinforced with Kevlar that could also handle extreme desert
heat. Just over 300 examples of the LM 002 were produced between
1986 and 1993. No SUV has since come close to Lamborghini's
outrageous monster - it remains truly unique.
This LM 002 was produced in May of 1987. While early history is
unknown, this "Rambo Lambo" has been in exceptional collector
ownership care for the previous 10 years. An enormous amount of
money was spent towards comprehensive servicing during the previous
several years to ensure all systems are in excellent working order.
Servicing included new clutch assembly, new flywheel, shock
rebuild, brake cylinder rebuild and all new hoses, new windshield,
new door seals, new tires, new mirrors and a complete engine
compartment disassembly and refinishing. Normal yearly maintenance
has also been performed to keep all servicing current.
We have owned several LM 002's through the years and have seen them
in all types of condition. A recent road test (video link below)
will attest to this particular LM 002 driving extremely well and
with and all systems working as they should and as originally
intended by the factory when new. Ready for immediate use, the LM
002 is most certainly the center of attention wherever it goes.
