Model data. XR Click for info. Last year available:. Price at release date:. The Lamborghini Cheetah is the second model released on the XR chassis. The Cheetah use a 10mm shorter version of the chassis, easily adapted by using separate screw holes. The only other difference are the wheels and tires, which are unique to the Cheetah.
There are lots of loose parts needed to build the Cheetah body, including the front winch and the rear spare jerry cans. The chassis is most known for it's weak plastic torsion bars. They lay along the chassis, protected by a clear plastic plate, but are still known to break very easy, particularly after some years when the plastic starts to go brittle. The Cheetah has never been re-released, but the XR chassis has been reissued in an upgraded version a couple of times starting year Dim's Dimensions and weight.

Not only did its position give the Cheetah erratic handling due to undesirable weight distribution, but the engine provided the 2-tonne vehicle with a meagre bhp. Subsequently, the one-off Cheetah was crashed and destroyed during military testing, and the company that sired it looked to be heading towards a similar fate. Coincidentally, the military contract was won by the ill-fated Humvee.
With new investment came new opportunity. A follow-up prototype arrived the year after, this time placing the engine at the front of the vehicle and thus solving the issue of poor handling under acceleration. The LM went on to shape its own story, as will the Urus when it inevitably reaches production. Nowadays, the company is thankfully in much better hands than it was during the late Eighties, and while the idea of the Urus may irritate purists, it certainly appears to be destined for commercial success.
The failure of the Cheetah project, along with Lamborghini financial problems, led to the cancellation of a contract from BMW to develop their M1 sports car. Lamborghini eventually developed the Lamborghini LM — a similar design, but with a cylinder engine from the Lamborghini Countach mounted in the front. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

It seems ironic that the Cheetah and its LM successor have effectively provided the company with the historical licence to justify production of the SUV, and hence might ensure its long-term financial prosperity. For that, we should all be grateful. The only finished prototype was never tested by the US military, only demonstrated to them by its designer, Rodney Pharis. In the end, the military contract was awarded to AM General and their similar looking Humvee.
