It was finally determined that the engine mounted in the rear caused too many unfavorable handling characteristics in offroad vehicles, and LMA002 built with a new chassis, moving the engine (now the V12 from the Lamborghini Countach) to the front. After much testing and modify the prototype, it was finally given a serial number and became the first LM002. And finally unveiled in Brussels Auto Show in 1986.

LM002 were dubbed the "Rambo-Lambo", aggressive styling and powerful engine made it a success for Lamborghini. Civilian models are equipped with a full luxury package, including full leather trim, tinted power windows, air conditioning, and a premium stereo mounted in a roof console. In order to meet the needs of vehicle tires, Lamborghini commissioned Pirelli to create the Pirelli Scorpion tires, run-flat tread design. It's made specifically for the LM and offered in two designs that look different, one for mixed use and the other for sand use only. This tire can be run virtually flat without risk and the only rubber that is available that can handle the desert heat. LM002 is equipped with a 290 liter fuel tank.
