The Italian company Lamborghini, which is famous for its sportcars, is working on a new crossover (by the unconfirmed data it will come under the name LM 005). Another version of the name is “Lagartijo”, which is more likely for the general line of names of the company’s cars.

A little earlier I wrote about Lamborghini’s intention to build a SUV, so you see their desire came true.

This is not the first SUV in Lamborghini’s history. In 1986 the company built a limited series of 328 LM 002 SUVs. The was equipped with a 5,2-litre 450 hp engine (from Lamborghini Countach), which provided the car with the incredible for those times dynamics - the acceleration form 0 to 100 kmph took 7-8 seconds and the max speed of 210 kmph.

The new model will be significantly different. Its body, set on a high SUV’s chassis, will look like a sport coupe typical of Lamborghini. Insight Lamborghini is a comfortable 4-seat car (the seats are done in leather). It is expected that the car will be equipped with a 6,0-litre 640 hp V12 engine (from Lamborghini Murcielago).

Lamborghini might premiere a concept, which will be a prototype of a new SUV LM 005, during one of the forthcoming auto forums.
