What Was the Lamborghini LM003?
The Lamborghini LM003 was a concept vehicle. This means it was an idea car or a prototype that was never fully produced for sale. Lamborghini created it to explore the market for large, powerful SUVs. It was very similar in design to another Lamborghini truck, the LM002.
A Different Kind of Engine
While the LM003 looked a lot like the LM002, it had one big difference: its engine. The LM003 was planned to use a 3,600 cubic centimetres (220 cu in) diesel engine. This engine had five cylinders and was designed to make about 150 bhp (112 kW) of power.
Why It Was Never Built
Sadly, the engine chosen for the LM003 wasn't powerful enough. For a large, heavy vehicle like this, 150 horsepower just wasn't enough to make it perform well. Because of this problem, Lamborghini decided to stop the LM003 project. They gave up on the idea before the truck ever went into production.
What Happened to the Project?
Even though the LM003 was never fully built, the project wasn't completely forgotten. The idea and plans for the LM003 were later sold. A group of business people bought the project. However, it still never made it to full production.
