From what I understand there were less than 400 of those LM002's made and they were all "boutique" builds. It would be cool to have a Lambo off roader, but parts would be ridiculous and being Italian, you KNOW it would need lots of work and parts to be reliable.
There are also companies like Banks that can "hot rod" a HMMWV, but when you start adding more engine electronics, 7 speed electronic trannies and dynamic suspension, it ceases being what an HMMWV was intended to be.
Now, I say a GREAT offroad RV would be built on a military spec HMMWV chassis. Imagine the ambulance version with a taller roof and extend it past the rear a bit with a rear kitchen/bathroom. Change out the full time 4WD for a selectable transfer case and you can have 2 wheel drive at RPM's that are reasonable for 65 MPH highway driving.
