During a recent visit to the Lamborghini Museum in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy, Mr. Pham Tran Nhat Minh, aka Minh “Nha,” had the opportunity to admire 19 special supercars on display. These vehicles represent significant milestones in the formation and development of the Lamborghini brand as it stands today.
In the photos shared by Minh “Nha,” automotive enthusiasts particularly noticed a shot taken from the staircase connecting the first and second floors of the museum. This angle captures up to eight Lamborghini supercars, including a raised vehicle on the first floor that caught the attention of netizens. On the second floor was another familiar-looking raised supercar, the Lamborghini Urus.

The Lamborghini Museum in Sant’Agata Bolognese, which only opened last year after renovations, often showcases new exhibits. Among them, the mysterious yellow raised vehicle remains a constant in the perfect spot. This vehicle is, in fact, Lamborghini’s first SUV, bearing the name LM002.
The Lamborghini LM002 is an off-road vehicle produced by the Italian manufacturer from 1986 to 1993. It was an unexpected offering from the brand, known primarily for its handcrafted, high-performance supercars. The LM002, on the other hand, is a raised pickup SUV, and interestingly, it wasn’t Lamborghini’s first attempt at this type of vehicle.
Preceding the LM002 were two prototype models, the Cheetah and the LM001. Both vehicles utilized American rear engines and were designed for military purposes but failed to gain traction. The LM002, however, incorporated a front-mounted Countach V12 engine, making it the first of three such models that Lamborghini actually produced. It belongs to the Lamborghini Militaria line.
A total of 301 Lamborghini LM002s were crafted, with the last 60 being a special edition called the LM/American, exclusively sold in the United States. Debuting at the 1992 Detroit Auto Show, these models featured OZ alloy wheels, chrome bumpers, unique interior trim, and various other accessories and badges.
For those seeking even more power, there was an option to order the Lamborghini L804, equipped with a 7.2-liter V12 engine typically found in speedboats. The end of production was announced in 1991, with Lamborghini stating they had received around 800 orders. However, the complex manufacturing process led them to discontinue the model in favor of more profitable vehicles.
Towards the end of the LM002’s production run, an Italian car dealer based in Turin, Salvatore Diomante, created a wagon version for the Sultan of Brunei by extending the rear and raising the roof. This modification significantly increased the interior space. Additionally, in 2004, a Lamborghini LM002 was blown up by the US military during a bomb test; it belonged to Uday Saddam Hussein, the son of Saddam Hussein.
