Automobili Lamborghini SpA is an Italian supercar manufacturer headquartered in Santa Agata Bolognese. The company was founded in 1963 by entrepreneur Ferruccio Lamborghini with the sole purpose of showing Enzo Ferrari that he is not alone in Italy who can create world-class sports cars.
The Lamborghini LM 002's development started as a project to develop a high performance off-road vehicle for military use at the end of the 1970s, with the name of Cheetah. Lamborghini engineer Giulio Alfieri resurrected the project in 1981 with the LM 001: an innovative concept with a rear-mounted engine, followed by the LMA prototype with a front-mounted powertrain.
The final production model of the Lamborghini LM 002 was first presented at the Brussels Auto Show in 1986, consolidating the final design: the V12 engine from the Countach Quattrovalvole provided a 5,167 cc capacity and 450 hp at 6,800 rpm.
The structure of the LM002 was more like a supercar than an SUV: it had a tubular space frame made of steel, an aluminum and fiberglass body, a 5-speed ZF manual transmission, double wishbone and spring suspension, ventilated disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear.
Model 1986-1990 equipped with a 5.2-liter 48-valve V12 engine with six Weber carburettors 450 hp, and in 1990 it was replaced by a 5.7-liter V12 from Diablo with 492 hp. Experimental prototypes LM003 were also built with a 3-liter 6-cylinder turbodiesel with 150 hp. and the LM004 with a 7.2-liter Lamborghini L804 V12 boat-powered petrol unit with 495 hp.
The first was clearly not suitable for the 2.7-ton vehicle due to lack of power, and the second was even offered as an option in the American market.
Under the hood Lamborghini LM
The basic LM002 package included two limited-slip differentials, one-of-a-kind Pirelli Scorpion 345/60 VR17 tires with flat tread, a 290 liter gas tank, leather trim, electric tinted windows, air conditioning and an Alpine stereo system in the overhead console. From the outside, the car looked huge, but inside there was only enough space for four people, and the rest of the space was occupied by the transmission tunnel.
The production of the bodies started in a company near Bilbao (Spain). Then the semi- assembled parts were shipped to Sant'Agata Bolognese for completion with the powertrain, mechanical parts, finishing, testing and delivery. A luxurious interior matching the individual needs of the customer completed the Lamborghini LM 002.
The Lamborghini LM 002 attracted significant attention when launched, as a vehicle unlike any other, with performance to match its super sports car stablemates as well as significant off-road capabilities and an imposing design and presence. A total of 300 were produced from 1986 to 1992.
