The fact that it was INTENDED for use in the military doesn't really have any implications for the vehicle as a whole. Lamborghini was notorious in its earlier years for having terrible reliability problems, if they were to have produced the LM002 for military service, I'm quite sure they would've worked on that particular aspect of it. However, since it was shunted off into the public instead of seeing military service, Lamborghini didn't really have to deal with the reliability issue as fervently as civilian usage is much less harsh than that of the military, and it is much easier to conduct repairs on the streets of LA than somewhere in some remote region of the world.

However, I'm also quite sure that if the LM002 had seen serious military service, as Lamborghini had intended it to, it would have been much more dependable by the time it reached production on a military scale.
