Yep! Pretty sure The--disturbed's got it! The Lamborghini LM002 was also affectionately known as the Rambo Lambo.

The--disturbed is correct - more of the story of this car below

On July 18, 2004, American soldiers at a USA military base near Baqubah, Iraq used this navy-blue Lamborghini LM002 (powered by a Countach V12 engine) once owned by Uday Hussein, one of Saddam Hussein’s sons, to simulate the effects of a V.B.IE.D. (Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device).
In plain English, the unaware soldiers took one of the rarest cars of our time (only 300 Lamborghini LM002s were ever built), packed it with explosives, parked it next to a concrete barrier similar in construction to those surrounding the base and blew it up to pieces. We’re aware that these guys were just doing their work and that the LM002 is a relatively unknown quantity, but nevertheless, it’s a pretty shame that no one knew what they had in their hands





Here it is packed with explosives




Here is what was left after

You'd probably have to send a request off to the admin for that.

Might be faster/easier to just create a new user name.

This one was taken at a local car show this weekend. It should be easy for any of my fellow Americans, might be a bit tougher for the rest of you.




I have photoshopped out the name badge.

Cool thread happening here. Drachen's right. I got this right away. I'll chill, though this was actually a sort-of popular car stateside.
