Has Lamborghini ever made an SUV before?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The images that we have seen for the Urus so far show that it\u2019s a truly beautiful performance SUV from Lamborghini, but has Lamborghini ever made an SUV before? We have the answer, and it actually may surprise you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the LM002?<\/span><\/h3>\n

The LM002 is the first ever SUV from Lamborghini, and it came out all the way back in 1986. Lamborghini made the LM002 for 7 years producing 328 models. This was also the first four-wheel drive vehicle ever manufactured by Lamborghini.<\/span><\/p>\n

LM002 design<\/span><\/h3>\n

The LM002 went with an angular design that was slightly reminiscent of a Hummer. This was not an accident. The prototypes that eventually evolved into the LM002 were built and tested for the U.S. military. The early versions also had rear-mounted engines.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eventually the engine was moved to the front to improve off-road performance, and then the LM002 was born. With its hard angles, and rugged exterior, it was ready to meet any terrain challenge that the world had to offer.<\/span><\/p>\n

What was the LM002 interior like?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Make no mistake, this was still a Lamborghini, and on the inside designers and engineers went to great lengths to prove that. You could get the LM002 with a full luxury package that included full leather trim, power windows, air conditioning, and even a premium sound system that was mounted in a unique roof console.<\/span>\"Lamborghini<\/span><\/p>\n

What type of engine did the LM002 have?<\/span><\/h3>\n

There were actually two V12 engines available for this monster. The standard engine was the same engine from the Countach Quattrovalvole, which was about 5.2-liters. The other engine option was a real beast. A 7.2-liter V12 that was primarily meant for marine applications in Class 1 offshore boats.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are the Urus and the LM002 related?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Though the Urus <\/a>may be the spiritual successor to the LM002, a lot has changed in the 20+ years since the LM002 last saw production. With giant off-road run flat tires, the LM002 was designed to tackle rocks and desert terrain.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Urus with its curved contours and performance road tires is more suited to high speed road situations, though it is still expected to be fully off-road capable. Only time will tell what the Urus can truly do, and we for one can\u2019t wait to see it in action.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
