V12....hm....sounds like a new engine swap for the XJ. Maybe add twin turbos while your at it? If your gonna be excessive might as well go all out, right?:laugh2:

I r still cunfuzed. Dont likes it, not one bit.

 

[coldoath]

Lol me neither. It's ugly. Just never heard of it.

 

[Pistol-McGee]

Good luck finding the engine or one period, VERY rare lamborghini. Only 300 or so ever produced

Never seen one in real life and i am a very close follower of exotic cars

 

[redneckboarder]

ive seen on

it was at target on rte 1 in alexandria VA. i drove in and said to myself WTF is that.

i agree with the ugly comment

 

[casm]

I've seen a couple. Most of the production went to the Middle East, so they're not that common outside of that part of the world. Libya & Saudi Arabia used them as military vehicles, IIRC. Look up the Lamborghini Cheetah and LM001; it puts the LM002 in much better context. FWIW, they're excellent desert vehicles.

Mufflers should be turned down & the horn sounds sissified ...

 

[CherBear]

I might drive it... but i think the styling is just horrid.

 

[AIbandit]

Wtf is with all the buzzer/alarm noises, obnoxious.

 

[coldoath]

LM001:

Idk if it was every actually produced? This is about the only 001 I can find.

This one looks better(LM002):

and this one

I think it's the red that makes it look like complete @#$!.

[ctxjlimited]

I might be wrong but I feel like there was one of these in the latest fast and the furious

 

[Darky]

This was Lamborghini's attempt at a government contract. It was made to compete against AM General's design for the HMMWV. AM General obviously won, but that's why it looks like a Hummer.

 

[DrMoab]

I got to drive one.

Loud. Full of rattles. Slow. Gets more looks than Angelina Jolie walking down the street naked.

 

[coldoath]

Lol that GI Joe truck looks almost like it. BTW that GI Joe truck has one hell of an approach angle!!

 

[crimsondragon]

I like the boxy appeal to it.

 

[Milford Cubicle II]

That thing makes the most annoying sounds...

The factory remote battery switch adds cool points though, I've been wanting to do something similar for my heep for a while now.

 

[Zuul99]

I think its cool, like a Lamborghini had "sexy party" with a Hummer and a Land rover

 

[xjtrailrider]

It looks like one of those VW Bug chassis based kit cars, sounds like one too.

 

[RedRoamer]

Ahh..Man, i'd almost forgot those things exsisted...:gag:

i remember at the time there was something about having to buy tires from the factory because of special rim size...
