On an episode of the American tv news show “60 Minutes” Tina Turner was one the subjects, and she owned a red LM002. She insisted on taking the reporter for a fast ride in the South Of France around winding roads, it was absolutely hysterical, and she was one fierce driver!

@@howardmckenna Yes, I remember her living near Lake Geneva. I have a feeling that Citroen 2CV had to have a more powerful engine installed, because she was a fast driver. She also had Jaguars over the years she had modified. The “60 Minutes” episode was from 1996 when she was living in this incredible mansion in Nice. It was hilarious when she was flinging that LM002 around winding mountain roads, you could hear the engine howling, and the usually stiff and serious elderly reporter, Mike Wallace, was in the passenger seat looking very nervous. I think when he asked her if it was fast he didn’t think she’d actually show him.

Hi Giacomo! :) I don't know where the fuel tank capacity information to the Wikipedia came from, but the LM002 in its standard form has a 290 litres fuel tank and as the official consumption in catalogues was rated 20-40 l/100 km, there was an optional desert tank-kit which extended the capacity to 540 litres. So you had better chances to reach the next location with re-fuel opttion. Eventually the Army of Morrocco has bought 60 of them for its generals and chief officers and some of them were equipped with heavy duty machine guns at the back.

The most important point of this car is that Hummer H1 project were largely copied from Lamborghini LM002 at the time. The origin of the Lambo project started to satisfy some Arabian Frontier patrol specifications. The project envolves some important developments on tyre - Pirelli develop a tyre only for this car that car run flat at 200km/h in the desert. Was the first run flat commercial tyre. Brakes also were developed with new technologies to stop this giant at top speed. In fact, was a development project that was top notch at the time in many aspects. The presenter seems to ridicularize Lamborghini but, clearly, is very poorly informed on the project story, goals and results. LM002 is still today a very desirable car and the quotations are very high.

Everyone who drives them reports that old Lamborghinis have an absolutely shin-snapping clutch, and in this one you say that the clutch engages pretty high up. I used to have a 5-speed swapped Mercury Grand Marquis and the clutch was very much like you described - a strenuous exertion to push on, but with a mercifully high bite point. It was fun to drive and pretty much the coolest car on the road, but add that clutch to the really uncooperative gear lever (I thought the transmission was jammed at first!), it was just something I wasn't always in the mood for, so I sold it. Good times...

This car is often called a Suv,but is a pure and rude off road. The Rambo Lambo was the most extravagant and strange object that you could find on the road. A car with many faults,awful turning circle,heavy clutch,tragic fuel consumption,big outside and with poor room inside and,after all ugly,but absolutely unique and distinctive.So unique and distinctive that an ugly styling became beautiful,futuristic and ahead years if you think that the Hummers became cool with a similar styling twenty years later. And if used offroad this thing was capable to go everywhere. This is what a Lamborghini should be: excessive,extravagant,exceptional. The only ugly car which is beautiful. The only car full of faults that is perfect. And,I think,one of the few cars that every petrolhead dreams to drive once in the lifetime. So you are a lucky guy.Thank you for another great video.

Lamborghini could've made the case to the police that the property should have been returned to them and BMW would've been forced to do that or risk being prosecuted. The reason the whole operation is such a coup is if course they betted that a near bankrupt Lamborghini wouldn't do that and they had to be pretty sure there would be no legal consequences for them to take that risk.

It's interesting to look at this and see the direction where large SUVs went, not just Range Rover but the Merc GL, Audi Q7, and even the civilian Hummer. I know mad-engined SUVs continued to be sold but the mainstay was the 3-litre diesel V6s in Europe. I've driven a GL63 and it's a complete hoot, and I've thought long and hard about buying one, but I've (so far) stuck with my 3-litre diesel simply because 10mpg is just too much to get my head around. I remember reading about the LM002 when it first came out and never could understand what it was for back then however it makes more sense these days in terms of its size, even if its choice of engine still seems crazy. That said, I always understood the Lambo V12 to be a tough reliable engine so maybe not such a crazy idea.
