    This car gets better everytime i look at it. And thanks to Jay Leno I finally get good moving images of it.
    A very cool fact about this car is that the body and parts of the interior where manufactured by Irizar in Spain, lamborghni sent them the drawings and they had to design the machinery and manufacturing for it. My father was an auto journalist and got invited to see the factory.
    There where alo stories and pictures of a man in a very very small village in Granada, Spain who had a large farming company and owned a purple Countach and a purple LM002. Think about the image for a second, a modest village with tractors and seat 600 and then these two spaceships.

    25 years ago I saw a black LM002 with German reg plates in Armação de Pera (Portugal) with grey leather seating and 4x additional grey leather seats on the back (as mentioned on the video). That was the ultimate Batman beach toy!

    The fuel mileage is not so bad. My wife and I had an 88 Town Car that got about 12 mpg. Could only go about 200 miles or so on $90 worth of gas. Gas was over 4 dollars then though. Awesome review Jay as usual!! One of my dream cars as a kid.

    I saw one of these slogging through Greenwich Village once back in 90-91. The dude must have been struggling with the clutch in first gear, because the sound this fucking thing made was just unfathomable. I read recently that it has basically the same V-12 as the Miura or Countach, so now it makes more sense to me.. imagine an African lion slowly being lowered into a vat of hot frying oil. That's what it sounded like. I was reading about it somewhere not long ago, and the author described it as "the most unholy vehicle ever made". From what I witnessed that night, I wholeheartedly agree.

    As i know it's not a "sand lip " on the tires sidewalls ,but a water lip avoiding water projection.
    It's very common on freight trucks tires.
    I think the tires are wide enough to spread the weight correctly without this lip.

    With the aero dynamics and the rolling resistance of those oil drum wide tires, I bet it would feel almost like applying the breaks just shifting it into neutral and "coasting".

    There was one of these at the Salon de 4x4 in Val D'Isere in 1987. I was working in a bar across the main strip and got to - got a short ride in it. It was destined for Saudi and had a mount on the floor for a large caliber weapon, or so I was told! Seemed enormous compared to everything else on display. Made a major impression on me... Great to see one again!
