A STUNNING Lamborghini 4×4 is going under the hammer – but not many people know it ever existed.
These days most luxury brands have a big SUV, but back in the late 1970s it was only Lamborghini that dared consider one.

In 1977 Lamborghini looked into building a posh 4×4 to sell to the US army called the LM001, but that plan never worked out.
Lambo carried on regardless, coming up with this, the LM002, which was sold as a luxury performance 4×4 to the public instead.

Only 300 LM002s were ever made and this one is number 279.
It’s up for auction with RM Sotheby’s in Miami and is expected to fetch as much as $250,000.
Despite this 1991 car being more than 30 years old, it has only covered 5,549 miles.
The LM002 is fitted with a massive V12 engine with more than 400hp and has seating for four people in its leather-clad interior.
It was known as the ‘Rambo Lambo’ in its day after Sylvester Stallone reportedly had one for a time.
The advert reads: ‘While the car’s early history is unknown, the centre console retains a sticker representing the Japan Lamborghini Owner’s Club, indicating that it might have been owned by a Japanese enthusiast at some point.
‘By early 2014, the LM002 was acquired by the consignor, a discerning collector based in Kuwait.
‘In 2014 the exhaust system was modified and the exterior was repainted in the car’s current shade of Rosso.’
