Amazing likeness to the original !
Tamiya really did a great work on replicating the Cheetah !

The
Lamborghini Cheetah was the first off-road vehicle Lamborghini made, with exception
from tractors. The car was meant to compete in the US Army selection of
the future army vehicle.
It was actually only made one of these, one car that
today is unaccounted for.. (I'll bet there is a big finders fee :-)

There
were two problems with the Cheetah:
1. It was a plain copy of the famous XR311, which resulted in a lot of
lawsuits...
2. The car was not made in USA, but in Italy, and the US Army was
not likely to buy foreign cars. |

The
Cheetah ended its days somewhere in the American desert, after competing in
desert races.
Lamborghini was left in a worse state than before, due to the
lawsuits and heavy costs of the prototype.
