Tina Turner wasn't messing around when she went shopping for a vehicle. In true rock-and-roller style, she opted for a Lamborghini (a LM002 to be exact) and had it retro-fitted and personalized with a Mercedes E500 V8 automatic transmission, a 1500-Watt Blaupunkt stereo, and lots of other aesthetic touches. The big news here is not that Tina Turners owns this vehicle, but that she's selling it. It's currently on the market for Є179,000, and although I'm hardly an expert at appraising vehicles that seems like a pretty good deal.

This hardly seems like something Ms. Turner would drive. It doesn't seem quite classy enough for what I'd imagine she'd want.
I wonder if she gets decked out in all her Thunderdome gear before she climbs behind the wheel.

This does not seem like any bargan....Another 89' all orig. restored sold at barret jackson auction in 01' for $70k.. modified with system....for Euro179K seems steep. Maybe they'll throw in a set O' 30" spinners?

How is a Mercedes 8 cylinder any sort of upgrade from a Lamborghini 12 cylinder?

Tina finally woke up and got green. I wonder how many MPG that Lamborghini gets. Vehicles like that and Hummers belong in Iraq protecting the troops not on the street and back roads in America.

Something like 7 mpg on the highway. It holds the record for largest gas tank and least economy of any production vehicle. It could hit 120 on sand dunes, so it wasn't completely a waste. They're pretty popular with oil barons these days as they're the only ones who can afford the fuel costs.

Considering it had an E500 V8 and transmission, it was actually capable of 20+ MPG (I just sold my E500 and it could get about 26 MPG all day long at 80 MPH, but I'm knocking a bit off for the weight differential).
Not that anybody really ought to be getting their panties in a wad over that.

FYI ALL - SHE HAS LIVED IN EUROPE FOR YEARS. SWITZERLAND AND FRANCE, I BELIEVE, SO YOU WILL PROBABLY NOT BE SEEING THIS CAR ON AMERICAN ROADS ANY TIME SOON.
THE PRICE OF THE CAR IS IN EUROS. AT THE CURRENT EXCHANGE RATE OF APPROXIMATELY $1.47 IT IS PRICED AT $263,136.00

Way too much money, and what happened to the Lambo engine? Probably who ever did the swap kept it and made money on the deal.
