I always thought the tires looked ridiculously large on the Lamborghini, as if making up for a lack of engineering by slapping fatter tires on it would do the trick. Which of course makes driving it look like a pain. In those shots where they get air, all you can see is the tires flopping around like they're about to separate from the vehicle. I know the Hummer will sometimes exhibit this too, but nowhere to that extent.

I have always been a big fan of the LM002....you have to give credit to Lambo for creating an offroader back then with those specs. Tires were custom made (345s) for sand and cost about $2000 each. Engine was from the Countach and later from the Diablo....and inside it was very luxurious for back then. And it looks fantastic....of course it can't compete with a H1 offroad, but it was designed to be a military vehicle. The first prototype was the Cheeta and actually was considered by the US Army as their new All Purpose Vehicle before they decided on the Hummer. It certainly has a coolness factor similar to a Hummer....

It just wasnt made to go Off road,very weak mechanical component, and mega gas guzzler over 50L/100km. its a beast on street, Super fast ( 200 kph )but .....
