TAMIYA 58754 Lamborghini Cheetah (2026) Assembly Kit

-
Tamiya is delighted to announce a re-released and upgraded version of the kit which recreates a Cheetah prototype; a military vehicle announced at the 1977 Geneva Motor Show. Originally born from a collaboration with the American company MTI (Mobility Technology International), the Cheetah project aimed to create an all-terrain military vehicle for the U.S. market. The prototype was initially assembled in the United States and later finished at Lamborghini’s facilities in Italy. In what was for an off-road car an unusual mount over the rear axle, its engine was a waterproofed 5.9-litre Chrysler V8 offering 180 hp that sent power to a limited slip differential via a 3-speed automatic transmission. While the Cheetah prototype never entered production, it was still a testament to Lamborghini’s innovation and significantly enriched their technical expertise, representing an important experimental phase that would later lead to modern military vehicles such as the Humvee. Indeed, it served as fundamental testing ground for the subsequent evolution of the brand’s high-performance off-road vehicles, anticipating concepts later successfully implemented in the famous Lamborghini LM002, the first modern sports SUV.
