Have a look at the real history of this car...it was created as a concept to compete with the Hummer for the US Army...of which the Hummer won the contract...so lambo fitted it out for the domestic market, to recoup some of it losses
Here's why it's worth 400'000$ "I don't know why they put that there" "Its all really tight in here" "You can't reach the mirror controls" "Use your credit card to open the fuel door" (Because after filling the tank up you will have no other use for that) "The rear view mirrors are tiny" "...This unlabeled Button..."
This thing was designed for the Middle East desert, it had sealed buttons,sealed signal light and wiper control stocks to keep sand out as well as better air filters for the engine. Apparently it ran fairly well on low quality fuel as well and the large fuel tank meant you could cross a lot of desert. Some were even equipped with a machine gun turret. I read about these when they first came out many years ago and definitely wanted one.
I think this was meant to be used on the beach, and etc. So you could leave you vacation house and drive out to the beach docks to your boat and also drive around forest near your estate and any other off road use as a rich person would need.
bigblackboner97 he tends to use “unique”, “usual” and “interesting” when describing things that are stupid or nonsensical in cars. He’s basically just being condescending when saying any of those things
Yup this is a drug dealers SUV. Smuggling compartments, cig lighters all over, massive basses, white and panelling... Lambo in the 90s definitely had a demographic that they knew.
As Lamborghini's core business was tractor manufacturing, the LM002 is much closer to their core business than their other cars; it's basically a tractor with nice paneling.
HOW are you not commenting on the INSANE sounds that the hood and door locks are making? Closing the hood sounded like someone had just dropped an entire kitchen set of pots and pans.
Many years ago, a customer brought one of these (also white) into a shop I worked at for service. He regaled us with the origin of the auto. He related that it was designed for the Israeli military, who ordered 300 of them. The "bed" was intended as a machine gun post ( and under the plate the bracket is still there). For an unknown reason the order was cancelled and the autos were adapted to "exotic" utes. The addition after-the fact, of most of the electronics explains the odd placement of many accessories.
SMDInvestigations All true except the original military contractor was Saudi Arabia, read it then when the car was launched on italian car magazine "Quattroruote" (I'm Italian BTW)....the article's title was "Lamborghini LM002: una fuoristrada per gli scicchi" (Lamborghini LM002: an offroader for the sheiks). The article said exactly what you say, together with the cancelled order and the need to turn the R&D costs into something marketable, but the contractors were Saudi, not Israeli.
Actually,, the gas pedal being so hard to push makes lots of sense. When off-roading, the terrain effects the throttle control, and if a big bump or knock happens, the traction could be lost. As long as the throttle pull is consistent,, It make lots of sense.
I like the fact it forces you to use a bank card to open the fuel cap, that way you know you got the means to pay for the gas! Brilliant out the box thinking.
Csányi Viktor good for you... but the fact is that the bank cards were extremely uncommon in early 80s ... apart the USA maybe.... besides I don't believe the 80s had POS terminals...
Roman Romero The fact is that credit cards were common in the late 60s in North America, and everywhere in the developed world in the 80s. It had nothing to do with modern POS terminals which came first in 1986 by IBM and Atari, but with ATMs and Bancomats from the early 70s (and before that were the charged cards or debitcards used in the same format in hotels and restaurants even in the 50s!). :)
Csányi Viktor I appreciate your info but frankly since the first POS came around 1986 as you said, the bank cards as payment option were rather extremely uncommon in my opinion.

Why didn't you say the most interesting piece of history about this car? In the mid 80s, the US military launched a competition for an all terrain military vehicle that would be able to climb everywhere, carry 8 soldiers and tow a large gun. Ultimately, the competition was reduced to two manufacturers General Motors with HUMMER H1 and Lamborghini with LM002. The reason why the HUMMER won was because LM002 was way too expensive (mainly because of its Countach engine). So yes it was designed as a military vehicle!
Not entirely true , the Lamborghini Cheetah was the competitor (1977) . If you look at the Cheetah you see the Humvee in it's design but that's about it since it had a rear mounted engine & was far lighter with a non steel body . The Cheetah is more like a huge 4 person buggy ... The LM came later - 1981 - but was developed as you mentioned as a military vehicle but was only a revolution of the Cheetah ... the LM001 looks a lot like the 002 but still had the engine in the rear , there were also the 003 (wagon version , proto only ) & the 004 . One had a 150bhp diesel from VM Motori ( insuficient to say the least ) the 001 had a Chrysler & later a AMC V8 ...
How different would the world be.. imagine the amount of memes and jokes that this vehicle could've provided.. Join the US military, you get to drive a Lamborghini.
absolutely and it along with the optional winch you could order it with a 50 cal gun mount on the back, hence the seats and grab bars with one of four different camo paint jobs from the factory. I was so in love with this as a kid
It was actually made because the majority of Lambo's customers in the late 80's were sheiks from the middle east. It was to satisfy their needs in the dessert.
I always caught a lot of flak from friends because I think this truck is absolutely gorgeous. It looks so mean and graceful at the same time. I LOVE it!!

Commentor1 That's the actual dealership. Look up Interstate Motorsports on Google and you'll see more pictures. It's just a Ferarri hood in the wall, not a whole Ferarri.
You are reviewing this like it was designed by Lamborghini for the Rich public... Ahhhhh.. IT WAS A MILITARY CONCEPT VEHICLE adapted for the road because the military didn't want it.. Look up Cheetah and XR311 for where this came from. And look into the Humvee to see what the design became
Was about to say the same thing. If you look at the history of it it was pre humvee, designed for the military but not for the US. It was for the Middle East. If you look at the crazy things from a point of view of upgrading a military vehicle to a luxury vehicle you can see how they just slapped it together. For instance the fuel cap being high is for a fuel can on the shoulder and with no cover.
The reason a lot of the controls are oddly placed, gas tank is huge, back end seating and other weird stuff is because this was originally intended to be supplied to the military. The power accessories, speakers and stuff were all added later when the military bought something else and they decided to rework it as an SUV.
Short story: The LM001 Cheetah was developed by Lamborghini to be the replacement for the aging Jeep in the US military. Unfortunately they lost to the AM General Humvee. Instead of scrapping the car, Lamborghini made it into a luxury SUV called LM002. That's why there are seats in the rear and all the capabilities you see there :) Had Lamborghini scored the contract, they'd never have gone bankrupt. Unfortunately, LM001 took Lamborghini to bankruptcy and they also consequently withdrew from the BMW M1 project
The Jeep replacement from Lamborghini actually dated back to the LM001 Cheetah. The LM002 was instead a revision of the original prototype. Reason why it was turned into an SUV? The Cheetah took Lamborghini to Bankruptcy (and its consequence of its withdrawal from the BMW M1 development)
Valentin Popescu. That would be the case if the car didn't get 5 MPG on the average. It has like a 383 mile range, which is about the range of a Tesla... An EV that costs Ike $2 to charge. Yeah...
yea but chargers are fewer than gas stations, sometimes u find em on the country roads, on the other hand chargers are in the cities usually... u wouldnt want that while having powder in your trunk
XD Too fitting for all of these quirks. lemme run them down mid: Interior design? Like WTF is this? Storage BELOW a seat? Hey Al, put my Tommy gun in there. 76.6 gallon fuel tank? XD lets burn her down A HEAVY GAS PEDAL??? Get out of here An off-road Lamborghini? I need to get out of here!
If anyones wondering, at todays cali gas prices this behemoth would cost nearly $450 to fill up. That’s if you’re cheaping out. With premium, high octane gas, that’ll be $470.
Doug, you have to remember that the lm002 was designed to try and replace the jeep for the us military, it was competing against the Humvee and land rover, so most of the quirks were made specifically for military purposes. The battery switch was to save the battery is times of war, and was an effort to keep the enemy from hotwiring your truck and driving away, the ignition placement was to keep them from taking the keys, there was a tool that came with it for the fuel door, the pedals were made heavy to account for the heavy military grade boots the driver would be wearing, the radio wasn't supposed to be a radio, but instead a cb radio for communications, and it just so happens that that is where they are mounted, everything in the lm002 was designed for military purpose
thats the worst conspiracy theory ive ever heard. gmc never even manufactured cars they only make trucks thus would have no business interfering with John Delorean.
Dont you dare to badmouth the Delorean, its an amazing car, no matter how much of a crackhead was the creator. Suuure it might be slow, but the beauty is what matters ,and in daily driving you aint gonna be going 200mph anyway
This car hasn't been made for civilian use. It was a command from the Saudi Arabia's government for it's borders custom who were outrun by the alcohol smugglers with their american suv. It was adapted to the civilian market only years later.
Hicham Solhi That's not the story which is told pretty much everywhere. The LM was originally supposed to be used by the US military. And when Lamborghini didn't win the contract they decided to build this
Hicham Solhi nope, regularly sold in Italy, my uncle had one of these (27 years ago!) and drove it from Rome to Cortina d'Ampezzo each winter holidays (and spent a fortune on gas!). And it wasn’t the only one up there in Cortina!!!
PCMasterRace seeing as they made these between 1982-1986. I would say a Hummer has this frame. Hummer may have been done better but the lm002 is way older.
76 gallon tank? I would really like to fill up in New Jersey and see the pump attendant's face when the pump just keeps going and going and going and not stopping.
Well, I don't have pump attendants in NJ. I wouldn't be caught dead living in that state. But by law you are not allowed to pump your own gas in the state of New Jersey. It's kind of dumb.
I got to ride in the back seat of this one of these vehicles at my family's ranch the LM002 had it's original tires! The owner was of the mindset of use it or lose it. He floored it in the dirt in 4wd it hooked up and pinned me in my seat. I've been in faster vehicles, but none that jumped a foot off the ground and landed so soft and composed! It's an extremely rare vehicle and it's an extremely rare memory for me! Seeing Doug experience this amazing vehicle that was original thought of as a vehicle to possibly compete with the hummer for the U.S. military contract. At least that's my recollection of it's inception. Thanks Doug for reminding me of a time long past! Todd

The reason a lot of the controls are oddly placed, gas tank is huge, back end seating and other weird stuff is because this was originally intended to be supplied to the military. The power accessories, speakers and stuff were all added later when the military bought something else and they decided to rework it as an SUV.
That tailgate opened with its own soundtrack!!!😂😂😂😭😭😭
Short story: The LM001 Cheetah was developed by Lamborghini to be the replacement for the aging Jeep in the US military. Unfortunately they lost to the AM General Humvee. Instead of scrapping the car, Lamborghini made it into a luxury SUV called LM002. That's why there are seats in the rear and all the capabilities you see there :)
Had Lamborghini scored the contract, they'd never have gone bankrupt. Unfortunately, LM001 took Lamborghini to bankruptcy and they also consequently withdrew from the BMW M1 project
Krishna Manda he should've know the whole story before hand
Krishna Manda HUMVEE (HMMVE) not Hummer
Krishna Manda They went bankrupt in 78. They sold to Chrysler first in 87, then Chrysler sold it in 94. Audi didn't buy it until 98.
IndianaPwn3s correct!!
The Jeep replacement from Lamborghini actually dated back to the LM001 Cheetah. The LM002 was instead a revision of the original prototype. Reason why it was turned into an SUV? The Cheetah took Lamborghini to Bankruptcy (and its consequence of its withdrawal from the BMW M1 development)
these were every 80's cartel must have the back seats storage was one for money the other for drugs, they also smoke alot
u are also always on the run, having that much gas space means u dont have to stop filling the tank, so fewer cops questioning u
allan J yea that's definitely not you stereotypical piece of shit
Valentin Popescu. That would be the case if the car didn't get 5 MPG on the average. It has like a 383 mile range, which is about the range of a Tesla... An EV that costs Ike $2 to charge. Yeah...
yea but chargers are fewer than gas stations, sometimes u find em on the country roads, on the other hand chargers are in the cities usually... u wouldnt want that while having powder in your trunk

I still think this is Doug's best video ever!
The seats are really nice.
I would call it Lamborghini LMAO2

XD Too fitting for all of these quirks. lemme run them down mid:
Interior design? Like WTF is this?
Storage BELOW a seat? Hey Al, put my Tommy gun in there.
76.6 gallon fuel tank? XD lets burn her down

You should. It is cool as fuck.
Suboptimus Lime ooh. I'll be right back😏
If anyones wondering, at todays cali gas prices this behemoth would cost nearly $450 to fill up. That’s if you’re cheaping out. With premium, high octane gas, that’ll be $470.
Absurd! 🤯
Nationwide, with the average gas price of $4.33, to fill up the LM002 from empty to full, you would have to pay at least $330!
76.6 gallons = 290 litres
Holy shit
What with the average price of petrol today being £1.2 in England, that'd be £348 pounds to fill up the tank.
My car does 3381 miles with that...
Oh damn
Simon Millberg That is a fucking bath tub of a fuel tank
this gu is safe from zombie apocalypses..
Doug, you have to remember that the lm002 was designed to try and replace the jeep for the us military, it was competing against the Humvee and land rover, so most of the quirks were made specifically for military purposes. The battery switch was to save the battery is times of war, and was an effort to keep the enemy from hotwiring your truck and driving away, the ignition placement was to keep them from taking the keys, there was a tool that came with it for the fuel door, the pedals were made heavy to account for the heavy military grade boots the driver would be wearing, the radio wasn't supposed to be a radio, but instead a cb radio for communications, and it just so happens that that is where they are mounted, everything in the lm002 was designed for military purpose
You must be new here
Shouldn’t have been sold as a production vehicle in the first place.

Because?
Nice, thanks for the context. It went from being totally wacky to actually making some sense because of its military design.

At least those 70+ gallons of gas will get you a long distance. Say 140, maybe even 210 miles!

1:58 "now when you close the hood" BAANG sounded like you broke something lmaoo
Those guys at lamborghini must have been doing more coke than John Delorean to come up with something like that.
James Fish john didn't do coke. It was a rouse set up by GMC to take down the compitition.
thats the worst conspiracy theory ive ever heard. gmc never even manufactured cars they only make trucks thus would have no business interfering with John Delorean.
Dont you dare to badmouth the Delorean, its an amazing car, no matter how much of a crackhead was the creator. Suuure it might be slow, but the beauty is what matters ,and in daily driving you aint gonna be going 200mph anyway
I appreciate the owner seeming so cool and goating Doug into having fun with it.
You guys are crazy, I'd drive this car!...
To the nearest Lamborghini dealership and trade it for an Aventador.

You aren't wrong.

This car hasn't been made for civilian use.
It was a command from the Saudi Arabia's government for it's borders custom who were outrun by the alcohol smugglers with their american suv.
It was adapted to the civilian market only years later.
You should know better than me !
Hicham Solhi That's not the story which is told pretty much everywhere.
The LM was originally supposed to be used by the US military. And when Lamborghini didn't win the contract they decided to build this
King First That's a point of view
Hicham Solhi Tina Turner has one and she drives it regularly.
Hicham Solhi nope, regularly sold in Italy, my uncle had one of these (27 years ago!) and drove it from Rome to Cortina d'Ampezzo each winter holidays (and spent a fortune on gas!). And it wasn’t the only one up there in Cortina!!!

So it's a hummer frame with the interior straight from a cheap speedboat?
pretty much
amount of room the driver has oddly reminds me of a cessna 172
PCMasterRace seeing as they made these between 1982-1986. I would say a Hummer has this frame.
Hummer may have been done better but the lm002 is way older.
I've been thinking that this entire video, but couldn't put into words any better😂😂😂😂
that interior looks like its from a high end boat with all the nice leather and wood.

Haha *brofist*
I know. He said the Hummer H2 was a joke yet is praising this which is 100x more ridiculous. Why?
Powerrrrrrr! That is the only answer.

76 gallon tank? I would really like to fill up in New Jersey and see the pump attendant's face when the pump just keeps going and going and going and not stopping.
Most pumps will stop around $125 so the price wouldn't go very high.

Joshua Godsey smart ass lol
You have pump attendants in New Joisy? What the hell, chief?
Well, I don't have pump attendants in NJ. I wouldn't be caught dead living in that state. But by law you are not allowed to pump your own gas in the state of New Jersey. It's kind of dumb.

I got to ride in the back seat of this one of these vehicles at my family's ranch the LM002 had it's original tires! The owner was of the mindset of use it or lose it. He floored it in the dirt in 4wd it hooked up and pinned me in my seat. I've been in faster vehicles, but none that jumped a foot off the ground and landed so soft and composed! It's an extremely rare vehicle and it's an extremely rare memory for me! Seeing Doug experience this amazing vehicle that was original thought of as a vehicle to possibly compete with the hummer for the U.S. military contract. At least that's my recollection of it's inception. Thanks Doug for reminding me of a time long past! Todd
Sounds like you had an awesome childhood. My cousins drove me around grandpas farm in a VW based dune buggy. You win!
@@cbotten106 i got a ride in my friend's convertible vw dune buggy, it had turn brakes. It was so much fun it was fun on a budget that anyone could afford. I remember the Rambo Lambo, but to own i would take the vw dunebuggy which was cheap to own and could be daily driven!
