An extremely rare creation of the 1987 Lamborghini LM002 – known as its iconic nickname, “Rambo Lambo” – recently sold for $ 400,000 at a auction of the Bring A Trailer.

As one of the only 301 cars built in this luxury car, it embodies Lamborghini’s bold vision for the 1980s, combining the power of a rugged, military capacity.

Initially the LM002 was launched as a military vehicle (Rambo-lambo). In the late 1970s, the American MIT commissioned Lamborghini designing an off-road model, the project failed but the Italian automaker returned in 1981 and presented the model at the Brussels Motor Show in 1986.
