Just in..for paint!
Lamborghini built its first military vehicle in 1977. They designed it with hopes of selling it to the US military. The original prototype had a rear-mounted Chrysler V8 engine. The prototype was destroyed during testing by the US military.
This led Lamborghini to develop the LM001, which was very similar, but had an AMC V8 engine.
It was finally determined that the engine being mounted in the rear caused too many unfavorable handling characteristics in an offroad vehicle, and the LMA002 was built with an entirely new chassis, moving the engine (now the V12 out of the Lamborghini Countach) to the front.
After much testing and altering of the prototype, it was finally given a serial number and became the first LM002. The production model was unveiled in an early 1986 Brussels Auto Show.
Stay tuned!
