LM002: The Most Lamborghini Lamborghini, Even Though It Wasn't a Lambo - Jason Cammisa Revelations

I saw and admired my first LM002 on the Pacific Hiway (near SeaTac Airport Federal Way, Washington in June of 1993. I was with my friend Benjamin Barr after a D.E.C.A. Competition within our Senior Year of High School. While I was driving my 1978 Metalic Brown Ford Fairmont Sedan, I spotted this beautiful Red Bohemeth parked at a "Drinking Hole" and pulled over... As we were gawking, the owner came out and offered us a personal tour of this fabulous rig with kindness. At the time I had posters of VECTOR, TESTOROSSAS, and 25th Anniversary Countaches on my bedroom walls, but the patience and courtesy this owner had with 18yo boys is still instilled in me. Thank you, random LM002 owner!

Little-known fact: while engine and chassis were made by Lamborghini themselves, the bodywork was made in northern Spain by a Basque coachbuilder with their roots in bus making, Irizar (you'll see plenty of Irizar-badged buses on the road to this day in Europe). Fond memories of reading about this beast back in the day and drooling over it as a teenager, loved listening to that V12 soundtrack!

I was going to ask why the title and video said "it wasn't a lambo". I wish the video addressed it better.

A supercar dealer in our town had one of these about 25 years ago. We asked if we could make a small joyride with it as it looked so extremely exotic. He was happy about anybody being interested in the weird thing, so we got it for the afternoon. Back then it was about the price of a new medium engined BMW 3 Series. It drove like a traktor, the stickshift was extremely clunky and the acceleration was very slow (we didn't know about the kickdown back then), but the sound was insane. It was a golden one.

[@Melanie16040]

The kickdown?

He was there to compete for Monaco in the Bobsleigh competition. I was lucky to sit in the driver's seat for a few minutes and was enthralled. Several hours later, the LM002 failed to start after sitting in -6 C temperature. It left on a flatbed truck later... I have only seen a couple since at car events, never being driven.

This was so good. This scriptwriting should be taught in schools. Along with Jason's delivery and some excellent cinematography and editing just made the perfect viewing experience. The subject of the video also was something very interesting to me. Back in the late 80s I was a teen, and one of the 4x4 magazines did a huge article on this vehicle.

[@mathewhumvee]

EDIT Note (@jasoncammisa): “Sadly this was only in theory. They built one, let Autocar and R&T test it, and then that was it” Lamborghini shenanigans once again Original comment: There was an option on the LM002 which added a 7.2 V12. It was a marine engine Lamborghini made for off shore racing boats. It’s hard to nail down numbers, but it was rumoured to be near 600hp. And a healthy 5 MPG So you could order from Lamborghini a Humvee more or less with an engine used for off sore speed boat racing. And that’s why I love Lamborghini.

[@Satori-Automotive]

[@fastcargtv6]

The 7.3-litre version was the LM-004. However its power output at 420hp was lesser than the 5.2-litre QV engines, the torque-curve was more suitable for an off-roader and of course higher than the "small" engine version by 100 Nm. The British Autocar magazine had an article about a military version of this large-engined beast with a factory driver. Unfortunately I don't have the original article which was published in May 1986 just a translation to German which I now turn back to English: ".... Together with the works driver, a kind of kamikaze pilot, we drove up a hill with a gradient of around 30 degrees, which the LM took effortlessly; this was followed by a 50-degree gradient. In both cases, the car climbed unstoppably like a mountain goat. You have to trust the car blindly in such situations, because the only thing you can see is its hood. Finally came the aforementioned 70-degree incline. We are still unsure of our feelings about this, but the car passed this test with bravour. Spectators reported that the front wheels had lifted off the ground; we should have earned an entry in the Guinness Book of Records for this feat."

[@mathewhumvee]

@@JasonCammisa I made an edit to my orginal comment. I remember reading about some "Custom" order getting the 7.2. But again your sources are way way way better then anything I have access too. So most likely Lamborghini Shennaginages Also you should look into LM002 models customized by Carrozzeria Diomante. I believe he made the LM002 Estate models for Lamborghini, and also did some WILD versions. He made a 2 door LM002, with an extended back with lounge chairs. And the passenger seat had a elevator build into it so that they could act as a spotter for the drive.

When I was a kid, there was a mechanic shop in Belmar, NJ that had a red one parked there for months. I would always walk on that alley just to stare at the car from my walk home from school.
