What was wrong eh? Look at Porsche Cayenne and tell me there is nothing wrong.




I mean LM002 is a beaut, but it has no business being a Lambo.
as long as it's not a Murcielago and Gallardo...and a lambo, everything is welcome

I read that the tires have a lip all the way around both sides, to keep sand, etc. underneath the tire for traction...Pirelli Scorpion?

During the deisgn and concept phase it was always called the 'Cheetah' and was capable of very extreme off road conditions despite what any of you say (Google search it or something). When the US military asked for companies to build a new off road multi-use vehicle it came down to AM General and Lamborghini. The US eventually chose AM Generals hummer quite simply because of the cheaper price. The LM002 was much too expensive for obvious reasons and seemed unecessarily too 'equipped' for what the US military had in mind. Lamborghini wouldn;t let the LM002 go to waste so they put it into production for the public to buy, where 'public' means rich-guy-that-likes-to-pretend-he-is-an-off-roading-master. I do know that it was very off-road worthy...although I'm not sure how long it would last before something went wrong. Like someone above me said, it could have easily been equal to or superior to Hummer.

H2 blows.

What's the difference between getting a 4x4 from a new
born company and getting a supercar from a newborn
company?

And as far as it cheapening or otherwise distorting the
image of a supercar manufacturer to produce an SUV,
I think many of you have forgotten that Lamborghini
has been and still does produce tractors, for something
like 40 years now. Has that distorted it's reputation as
a supercar manufacturer? I have nothing wrong with
Lamborghini producing an SUV I just have something,
actually really only one thing, wrong with the SUV that
they did make.

The reliability of the engine, if that's what you meant.

I am not sure what your point is there.

Hehehe, actually from what I understand they are just
normal tractors at normal prices, but I've heard
they are good tractors and there is something cool
about a vehical with the Lamborghini name on it.

people preffer to use vehicles tht are known, driven, used and bought by ppl they know ... and how many countries 'at tht time ' had lambo delerships ... very few ...
so repairs and all would aslo be a big problem ...

Ill tell you exactly wats wrong with this car...
It has 444bhp and probably around the same torque...
Its 0-60 is 8.5 seconds

A porsche cayenne turbo has 450hp and around the same torque...
Its 0-60 is 5.5 seconds
It weighs over 2 tons

A BMW X5 3.0i has 225hp and around the same torque...
Its 0-60 is...wat a coincidence...8.5 seconds
It weighs over 2 tons

Basically, this lamborghini V12 monster has the pathetic aceleration of a weak, heavy, bmw 6 cylinder suv. The porsche cayenne turbo, a modern suv/sports car has pretty much the same hp as the cayenne, from a v8 nonetheless, and it produces acceleration times that are 3 seconds faster!

THATS wats wrong with this car, despite the fact that it is absurdly ugly.

Honestly, i would love for lambo to make a modern suv that can trash the cayenne turbo. American buyers would eat it up before it is even on the market.

The Cayenne is butt ugly compared even to the LM002, and it weighs quite a bit more, so the acceleration numbers aren't that surprising.

Are u saying that the cayenne is uglier that this pieice of metal that looks like it has wheels from an elementary school bus?

The cayenne weighs: 5,192 lbs
The LM002 weighs: 5,940 lbs

Yes there is a difference in weight, but not enough to make a 3 SECOND difference in acceleration

Definately not ugly:

The LM002 is gear for good off roading abillity not exceleration,
that's why it doesn't excelerate as fast as the Cayenne.
