A 31-year-old Italian SUV for $ 210?
The Italians have never been famous for their SUV craftsmen, let alone the great Panda 4x4, but it was actually made in Austria. Hence the news that the 31-year-old Italian SUV is selling for $ 210. that would probably scare you. Until we point out that this is one of the rarest and possibly the ugliest Lamborghini models.
The LM002 edge is the result of a troublesome 80s company attempting to get an army order. The Italians did not succeed, but they were left with a fully completed project shown at the Brussels Motor Show in 1986 (and immediately named in the press "Rambo-Lambo"). The car is built on a tubular steel frame, is powered by a 5.2-liter V12 engine coupled with a 169-liter tank and is equipped with all sorts of extras such as leather upholstery, power windows, air conditioning and a stereo mounted in the roof console.
Especially because of this car, Lamborghini commissioned Pirelli to develop Scorpion Run-Flat tires that can be driven and cracked regardless of terrain. Later, a more powerful version with a 7.2-liter V12 appeared.
The particular Rambo-Lambo that is for sale on takeatrailer.com has a more modest engine, but it is still quite rare - only about 300 units of this car were produced. In addition, this number traveled half the world - from Italy it was delivered on order to Japan, then sent to Hawaii, and from there in 1992 it was sold to a third owner in the US state of Washington, who managed it for the next 27 years.
The car is black with white leather interior. The 5.2-liter engine is mated to a five-speed manual transmission and transfer case. Size 345 tires are the already mentioned Pirelli Scorpion tires. The car is surprisingly well preserved, which is not surprising, because its total mileage is just over 4000 kilometers. It has a full service history and was serviced late last year.
The engine is installed in front. the same 12-valve V48 found in the legendary Lamborghini Countach. As new, it had over 400 horsepower.
