    In 20 years we'll all have exemptions for our fossil fueled beasts! There won't be enough of them on the road to warrant testing anymore. Having driven a Tesla P85+ for 13 months and 18k miles I can say the future is here. In my opinion, gas powered cars will not be viable in any form other than enthusiasts and collector mode by 2035. And probably sooner. By then gasoline powered cars will only be worth scrap. Unless of course if they are collectible in any way.

    Did you hear Tesla announced Friday afternoon a 0-60 mph Model S upgrade for $5k which puts the car in Super Car territory?

    2.8 seconds!

    And they increased the range to 300 miles on a single charge.

    Agree completely.

    There was a time not very long ago @ the advent of this thread http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/lamborghinichat-com-sponsored-cats-exotics/394041-countach-25th-anniversario.html when the 25th Annivesario was overlooked, dismissed and generally lowly-regarded.

    Times have changed.
     
  3. Pretty neat stuff. It was 10k on the upgrade from what I read. Anyways I 'd love to get a Tesla, or drive one to start. Even the Volt is getting upgraded/redesigned for 2016. It will be interesting to see how the oil industry reacts long term.

    $10k when ordering new or $5k to upgrade your P85D for the next 6 months. They are always considerate of current customers. Manufacturers have never treated their customers the way Tesla does. Kind of ironic really. They have abused us all so much through the years it's not really that hard to do a better job of taking care of us!

    Tesla sure has that figured out. I can only imagine the conversations at the other board meetings. I really don't think they can get out of their own way. The real Tesla competitors will come later I feel. Current companies are still sleeping and may never wake up.

    It should be an interesting Auction week in Monterey this year.

    There are now at least 4 Auction Houses that have a 1989 Countach crossing the block.... ALL of them in RED.

    Anyone have any thoughts on this estimate of the DD Anni? Seems to be an optimistic estimate?

    Gene meant that the Gooding listing said only 10 DD Annis came from the factory, which is not true.

    MOTOR CITY, Plymouth Michigan:
    Lot 142
    1988 Lamborghini LM002

    To be auctioned on Saturday, July 25, 2015
    Estimate $140,000 - $180,000
    Chassis no. ZA9LU45AXJLA12109
    Body no. 133


    444 bhp, 5,167 cc DOHC V-12 engine with six Weber carburetors, five-speed manual transmission, independent front and rear suspension with coil springs and telescopic shock absorbers, and four-wheel hydraulic ventilated disc brakes. Wheelbase: 118 in.

    One of only 301 produced, with very few in the United States
    Desirable early example with carbureted engine
    Attractive, unusual colors; 52,000 kilometers from new
    Recent full servicing
    A Lamborghini SUV—for the man who has everything


    In 1981, the only vehicle that could be found at the intersection of the exotic supercar and the off-road vehicle was Lamborghini’s LM002. It was just as brutish as it was luxurious, and the LM002 found use with a variety of customers, ranging from militaries to Sheiks, as it could be stripped out for professional use or specified with all the luxuries with which Lamborghini’s usual customers were accustomed. Lovingly nicknamed the “Rambo Lambo” for its sheer presence and character, the LM002 was graced with four-wheel drive, seating for four, and more than enough room for luggage, resulting in a vehicle that could go anywhere and make zero compromises.

    The LM002’s interior is instantly familiar to anyone who has spent time in a Countach, aside from the obvious addition of rear seats. Wood and leather is abundant, and even though the V-12 sits in front of the driver rather than behind, the exhaust note is still unmistakable, as its engine was sourced from none other than the Countach. Feeding that thirsty V-12 engine was a massive 76-gallon fuel tank, which helped accommodate its 8-mpg fuel consumption. Its performance was extraordinary, as it could complete a 0–60 mph run in just 7.7 seconds, which was incredible considering the LM002’s curb weight was 5,720 pounds!

    The LM002 offered here, according to information received from the Lamborghini factory, is an original U.S.-delivery model, completed on March 17, 1988, and delivered on March 29, 1988, through Chrysler Italian Imports of New Jersey. Interestingly enough, it was one of five LM002s that arrived in the United States that same day! Importantly, it was originally built as and remains a desirable carbureted model, and it is still finished in its original color combination of White (LMB 902) over black leather interior.

    The present owner notes that a full service has recently been completed, including the installation of a new clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder, extensive detailing, and the installation of correct (and highly difficult to source) Pirelli Scorpion tires. Its original set of tires will accompany the car, along with a list of its recent service work. Its odometer displayed 52,000 kilometers at the time of cataloguing, or about 32,000 miles, from new.

    For exclusivity, power, and luxury in an all-terrain vehicle, it is still difficult to beat a Rambo Lambo!

    With 54,000km what will this LM sell for?

    I think the high Km/miles will hurt the collectibility
