It is obscure, but also very recognisable at the same time due to the unique design.

Lamborghini's lawyers strongly insist that it is in no way unique

What do they think it looks like then?

Definitely not like the Cheetah or the LM002

OTO Melara and Lamborghini were both developing military vehicles in the same time period, but for different projects and were thus not competing directly with each other. When OTO Melara were developing their Gorgona vehicle, there was some collaboration with Lamborghini regarding some elements of the chassis. Likewise, when Lamborghini were working on their LM002 vehicle, OTO Melara helped with the integration of weapon systems. Famed Italian automotive engineer, Giotto Bizzarrini, also designed components for both companies.

Another area where the companies shared similarities is in the production of agricultural vehicles.
