  I second that; as far as I remember this is the first LM002 for NFS4, and an excellent one at that.
  Thanks a lot!

  Wow great modeling, gotta love that dash too
  
  The LM project was started because the U.S. military requested an all purpose, off road vehicle to be made for use in the field, Lamborghini took a stab at this request and produced the LM: A four-wheel-drive beast with a Countach V12 engine! The lambo was massively impractical- 16ft long, 6ft 6in wide, and weighed nearly 3 tonnes. All this made for a fuel consumption of 7 mpg.

  The project eventually went to GM who produced the hummer.
  
  Now, most LM's are in use in the middle east, thats just as well because the LM cost more than a countach and you really needed your own oil well to run one.

  There has been talk about that Lamborghini had project called LM004, which logically would have shared engine with Diablo. (just like LM002 shared engine with Countach.)
  
  Unfortunately, in the time of launch of Diablo, Lamborghini wasn't doing well financially and it changed owner who scrapped the project.
  
  (did they ever had such financial success in the auto industry after Miura? the tractor side was doing quite well during 60's but I think oil crisis did very bad to the whole company.)
