Lamborghini 956 – 1706

At the end of 1983, a renewal cycle for the large Lamborghinis began. The stylish design was new, and the technology was mostly shared with the Same Laser and Galaxy. However, the engines were familiar from earlier Lamborghinis. The smaller models had the old 5.5-liter engine, and the two largest had Hürlimann’s 6.8-liter engine.

The basic transmission was the traditional 12+3, but most models featured a new mechanical quick-shift 24+12 directional selector transmission. The 1706 had a 3-speed quick-shift 27+9. The top speed in all models was limited to thirty kilometers per hour. Lifting capacity ranged from 4600 to 7000 kg, depending on the model. For some of the lineup, lifting capacity was increased over the model history. The lifting device was always mechanical.

The cab was the same as in the Same Laser. Noise levels were 80-83 dB. Models from the 1990s had air conditioning as standard. The series was, at the end of its long model history, already outdated as the brand’s top lineup. However, Racing models equipped with new features gradually appeared alongside it starting in 1991.
