In this episode, Hagerty delves into the wild tale of the Lamborghini LM002, a beast of a pickup truck that defies all expectations. With a massive V-12 engine, wide tires, and sports car-like handling, this unconventional vehicle stands out in the automotive world. Despite facing criticism for its infamous clientele, including the likes of Saddam Hussein's son and Tina Turner, the LM002 proves to be a true standout in Lamborghini's lineup.

From its origins as a military vehicle prototype to its production challenges and eventual bankruptcy, the LM002's journey is nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. Despite setbacks, this "Rambo Lambo" managed to capture the attention of royalty, Formula 1 drivers, and Hollywood stars like Sylvester Stallone and Tina Turner. Even Tina Turner herself made modifications to her LM002, showcasing the truck's versatility and appeal to a diverse range of personalities.

With only 301 units ever produced, the LM002 remains a rare and iconic piece of automotive history. Its unique blend of power, luxury, and off-road capabilities sets it apart from the crowd, making it a true Lamborghini through and through. Hagerty's exploration of the LM002's story sheds light on the triumphs and tribulations behind one of the most Lamborghini Lamborghinis ever created.
