Lamborghini LM002 Price, Specs, Photos & Review

Lamborghini LM002 Price

A Lamborghini LM002 for sale is often referred to as the “Lamborghini truck” is an off-road truck model manufactured by Lamborghini in the late eighties. The car was known for being an unusual design for the company to take on, as Lamborghini was known mostly for their hand-built performance-focused sports cars. A 4-door pickup with a 4WD layout, the unique truck was originally based on a military vehicle prototype developed by Lamborghini in 1977, which was codenamed “cheetah.”

In the early 2000s, the Lamborghini LM002 price hovered around $95,000. Originally, the first models in 1987 in the United States were priced at approximately $120,000 to start. Today, the Lamborghini LM002 has skyrocketed in price to $300,000 or more, depending on the seller. A Lamborghini LM002 for sale in 2020 could very well be listed for up to $400,000.

Brock Yates from Car and Driver tested one of the original models upon its release and nicknamed it the “Rambo Lambo.” There were 328 built from 1986–1993 before the production of the vehicle ceased. 49 LM002 models were built for the US, which likely has a lot to do with the high prices for well-maintained models.

Yes, the Lamborghini LM002 is a perfect winter 4WD.

Lamborghini LM002 Review

It’s rare to find many recent Lamborghini LM002 review posts online, as there are very few models available today in the United States. The vehicle itself has a V12 engine that maxes out around eight miles to the gallon, making it notably not very fuel-efficient. Nevertheless, the Lamborghini LM002 horsepower was over 400 from their bulletproof V12 engine. It is a fast machine without a doubt, but going from zero to sixty miles per hour still took around eight seconds. The vehicle was very impressive even today.

Lamborghini SUVs look like nothing else.

The car, which was based on a military vehicle prototype and was originally designed for military use, was notably extremely durable and had almost no steering feel. The Lamborghini LM002 has also been described as a “Mad Max machine” by reviewers of the car in the eighties for good reason– it was a powerful machine for its time.

Lamborghini LM002 Specs

  • Price: $120,000
  • Engine: 5.2L V12
  • Transmission: 5-speed Manual
  • Horsepower: 444
  • Torque: 368 lb-ft
  • 0-60 mph: 7.7s
  • 1/4 mile: N/A
  • Top Speed: 118 mph
Under the hood of every Lamborghini LM002 lurks a big V12 engine.

Lamborghini LM002 Engine

Lamborghini LM002 engine was a 5.2 liter V12 with 444 horsepower and 368 pound-feet of torque. For enthusiasts who desired even more power, the Lamborghini L804 type 7.2 liter marine V12 could be ordered, though it was more commonly found in offshore class 1 powerboats. The Lamborghini LM002 transmission was a 5-speed manual, as was common for vehicles of its type.

During design and production, it was determined that a rear-mounted engine would cause negative handling issues that an offroad vehicle shouldn’t have. As a result, the company decided to build a completely new chassis and moved the engine to the very front. In 1988 the LM002 Evoluzione, a special LM002 custom model designed to participate in the Paris Dakar Rally, boasted a modified engine that brought the vehicle up to 600 hp (447 kW.)

A five-speed transmission is standard on every Lamborghini LM002.

Lamborghini LM002 Transmission

The Lamborghini LM002 5-speed transmission is the standard transmission that was built into the model. A clutch replacement for the LM002 is a whopping $12,000– because of this, enthusiasts who plan on owning the model one day should be mindful and careful when shifting. The LM002 utilizes a dogleg transmission with the granny gear located at the bottom left. Thanks to aggressive differential ratios, starting in 2nd gear is not an issue. There are no models of the Lamborghini LM002 with an automatic transmission.
 

The interior of the Lamborghini LM002 is functional and ergonomic

Lamborghini LM002 Interior  

For drivers that have been inside a Lamborghini Countach, the Lamborghini LM002 interior is not entirely different. The LM002 does have the addition of rear seats. As a military vehicle, the interior of the LM002 had a rugged yet somehow luxurious interior. It was complete with wood and leather, and the leather included came in a variety of colors, though the most common choices were white, black, and tawny.

What is the Fastest Lamborghini?

Finer leather upholstery and air conditioning were options available during the LM002’s original production run. Around the tail end of the LM002’s production, an Italian auto shop owner named Salvatore Diomante customized a model of the LM002 to be more of an “estate” version of the vehicle. He did this by closing off the back area of the vehicle and raising the roof, which added a significant amount of interior space.

Lamborghini LM002 Brakes

The Lamborghini LM002 brakes are known for being quite large and bulky, but for a good reason. The original model featured ventilated twin-caliper front disc brakes and rear drums that were approximately twelve inches by three inches. These brakes allowed the Lamborghini LM002 to handle and maneuver its hefty weight with ease– making it a surprisingly agile military vehicle. The Lamborghini LM002 suspension was also specially designed to absorb impacts common with off-road vehicles of its girth.

Many Lamborghini LM002 models had four seats in the bed

Lamborghini LM002 Standout Features

The LM002 weighs 5,952 lbs. That’s a whopping weight when compared to other new cars in 1987, which weighed an average of 3,331 lbs. While many parts of the Lamborghini LM002 are difficult to find and often very pricey (as we’ve mentioned before, a new clutch will run you around $12,00), brakes and calipers for this model are fairly easy to find online.

It’s no surprise that the Lamborghini LM002 only has around 5.6 mpg, though some reviewers and owners of the vehicle have stated that they have gotten around 8 mpg out of the vehicle. The V12 engine that powers the machine isn’t exactly the most fuel-friendly. Because the Lamborghini LM002 is such a gas guzzler, it requires a 45-gallon fuel tank.

Every Lamborghini LM002 for sale also has manual locking 4×4 hubs, which come in handy for reducing the mechanical resistance of the front drivetrain when the vehicle’s four-wheel drive is not in use. The LM002 also boasted a tubular steel frame with riveted aluminum body panels. The vehicle was known for its unique, albeit strange body design that was reminiscent of a jeep with notably Italian design elements.
