LAMBORGHINI LM002 1990

The Lamborghini LM002 is both a contradiction of tradition and a key pillar of Lamborghini design as it continued henceforth.At a time when Lamborghini was largely renowned for its Grand Tourers and Sports cars, the LM002 and its SUV design was a huge departure for the company; although having its roots in Tractor design a Utility Vehicle was something Lamborghini was infinitely more adequately equipped to conceive and realise than any of its sports car manufacturing rivals.The vehicle's design process began with designing a military vehicle prototype in 1977, codenamed "Cheetah" and featured a rear mounted Chrysler V8. No interest was garnered and the prototype was then sold to Teledyne Continental Motors. Following this Lamborghini designed the LM001, which was a more road focused iteration of the Cheetah and still featured the same rear mounted V8 as was found in the cheetah.It was then decided that the rear mounted engine created a number of handling characteristics that were unfavourable in an off-road focused vehicle, thus birthing the LMA002 which featured an entirely new chassis as well as a Front-Mounted V12 straight from a Lamborghini Countach. Eventually this prototype was given a serial number and saw the creation of the first example of the LM002.Unveiled at the 1986 Brussels Auto Show, the production version featured a luxurious interior complete with leather trim, power windows, air-con and a roof mounted stereo unit.During the 1986-1993 production run, a mere 328 examples were produced.The example we have for sale was produced in 1990 and is finished in a stunning Black over Red colourway. The car underwent just under �30,000 worth of maintenance, major servicing and upgrading - including belts, gaskets, winch installation, brakes, an exhaust overhaul and - most crucially - a fresh set of Tyres!
