This 1987 Lamborghini LM002 (chassis HLA12046) competed in the 1996 Granada-Dakar Rally, and is said to have gone through 24 shock absorbers before it had to retire due to lack of spare parts. There were two other LM002s entered into the event in previous years when it started in Paris, but one is said to be hidden in a collection and the other was returned to stock configuration according to this article on LamboCars.com. This truck is said to be the last Lamborghini entered into competition by the factory before the brand was sold to Audi. Find it here at Auto Drome in Paris, France for 160,000 Euro (today ~$209k USD).

The photo below shows the car in as-raced condition inside a non-descript workshop. It is assumed to be the present-day condition, but not much detail is given.

This dash shot is shown in a separate listing by the selling dealer here on Anamera. The idea of a competition interior in this model isn’t a bad one, as the factory parts are pricey, 25 years old, and didn’t look that great to begin with.

Most of the shots of the truck seem to be from the event itself, and it is not said to have ever run another race. We have searched for results from the 1996 event, but have come up short. If you know of a complete entry and finisher list, please link to it in the comments. We do know that a Citroen ZX took the overall win that year.

It is interesting that the Pirelli Scorpion tires made specifically for this model Lamborghini look to be what the truck is also wearing for competition. They were not said to be the weak point, though the weight of the rolling stock might have aided in the demise of other components.

This would be our ultimate entry for the Norra 1000 in Mexico, and we can’t see how they would be able to resist letting it run. The only question is, how many spare shocks would you carry at the start?
