This 1989 Lamborghini LM002 SUV Currently On Sale Costs More Than A New Urus
Before the Urus SUV, there was the Lamborghini LM002 Sports Utility Vehicle, dubbed the “Rambo Lambo”.
Just 328 examples of the millitary-style LM002 SUV were produced between 1986 and 1993.
Now, one of these rides is up for auction on Bring A Trailer. This 1989 LM002 currently has a mere 2,500 miles on its odometer.
As of this writing, the highest bid for this 1989 LM002 is $210,000. In comparison, a brand new Lamborghini Urus starts at $200,000.
Back in July, Lamborghini celebrated the production of the 10,000th Urus SUV since production started 2 years-ago.
The super fast Urus SUV has been selling faster than Lamborghini can build since it was introduced on the market.
But before the luxurious Urus super SUV, there was the Lamborghini LM002, dubbed the “Rambo Lambo” and the “Lamborghini truck”.
The millitary-style LM002 SUV, which stands for Lamborghini Militaria 002, was produced between 1986 and 1993.
It was an unusual departure for Lamborghini which, at the time, was primarily known for high-performance sports cars.
Just 328 examples were made, which each having a starting price of $120,000 — that is more than $264,000 today.
Many of these off-roaders were reportedly sold to the super rich, including Gaddafi’s Libyan Army, the Saudis and Saddam Hussein’s son.
Now, one of these rides is up for auction on Bring A Trailer. This 1989 LM002 currently has a mere 2,500 miles on its odometer.
The SUV has a black exterior while the interior is fitted with off-white leather, premium stereo and tinted power windows.
Powering it is a powerful 5.2-liter V12 engine from the Lamborghini Countach. The LM 002 can reached a top speed of 210 km/h and do a zero to 100 in 7.8 seconds.
You still have the chance to buy this rare SUV as the auction won’t end until Monday. As of this writing, the highest bid for it is $210,000. In comparison, a brand new Lamborghini Urus has a starting price of $200,000.
Last year, a pristine example of the LM002 was sold at an RM Sotheby’s auction for $300,000.
