Lamborghini had designed the vehicle with hopes of selling it to companies in the oil exploration and production industry.

These tires could be run virtually flat without risk and could handle the desert heat, the loading, and the speeds of the LM.

First shown at the 1992 Detroit Auto Show, these have OZ alloy wheels, chromed bumpers, a special interior, and various badging and trim additions.

[1] For those requiring even more power, the Lamborghini L804 type 7.2 litre marine V12, more commonly found in class 1 offshore powerboats, could be ordered.

[7] Near the end of the LM002's production, Turin-based autoshop owner Salvatore Diomante created a one-off "estate" version for the Sultan of Brunei by enclosing the back area and raising the roof.

[11] An LM002 was featured in the films No Holds Barred (1989), Toys (1992) and Fast & Furious (2009), as well as the 1990 video game Stunts.
