Street-Legal Monster Trucks You Can Actually Buy

Lamborghini LM002

To be honest, the LM002 is somewhere between a truck and an off-road SUV. It has four doors, a double cab, and a truck bed behind. This crazy creation debuted in the mid-1980s as Lamborghini’s attempt to enter the world of luxury SUVs. The LM002 used a special chassis, suspension, and Lamborghini’s famous V12 engine. The 5.2-liter unit had 400 hp and was the same one as you would find in the legendary Lamborghini Countach. For buyers who thought 400 hp was not enough, the factory could supply the LM002 with a 7.3-liter monster V12 engine from a racing boat (via Lamborghini).

With the nickname “The Rambo Lambo,” this truck was exactly that; a rugged, desert-going version of the supercar Lamborghini is well-known for making. Despite that enormous power and rugged looks, the LM002 was sort of a failure since it was very hard to drive on the road. It had a vast thirst for fuel and even had some problems with off-road stability. Not to mention that it was extremely expensive and that Michelin made tires only for this model, which you still can find today at the astronomical price of $5,000 per tire.
