Lamborghini LM002

I ran into something I have never EVER seen before on the streets: a Lamborghini SUV!  I have only seen photos of the Lamborghini LM 002 (also known as the "Rambo Lambo") because there were only 328 produced.  That makes this ugly SUV super rare!

I was heading North on Van Nuys Blvd in the lovely city of Van Nuys.  Then I heard this strange sound and noticed this bright red SUV.  This car actually has a V-12 Lamborghini Countach engine and makes this shriek like no other suv.  I got some more photos of it.

The thing that struck me the most was the bright red like from an expensive sports car.  Then as you approach it you see how enormous it is.  You are talking about Hummer H1 proportions.  Speaking of which, this Lambo was supposed to be a military vehicle initially. 

The tires are enormous and extremely expensive.  

Sorry for the crappy color from my phone.  This car is cherry red.  The owner was super cool.  I talked with him for a few and he appreciated that I knew about his car.  I asked him if he is going to take it off road and he replied yes to Pismo Beach.  That would be definitely a sight to see and to hear as well.  I can only imagine a Countach engine whailing constantly to go up and down on the dunes.  The last fun filled fact about this car in that the last time it was in the news was in 2004 where the US forces found one in Iraq... which belonged to Uday...
