Same Diamond / Lamborghini Victory

Unlike its predecessors, the Same group developed its flagship model presented in 1998 entirely in-house, although it still made extensive use of purchased modules. In the Same Diamond and the Lamborghini Victory—as with their sister models, the Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 230 and 260—they employed Deutz’s 7.1-liter six-cylinder engines rated at 230 and 260 hp. Torque was increased by 30 %.

The ZF transmission features a 4-speed powershift section, 6 main gears and 4 creeper gears, giving a total of 40 forward + 40 reverse speeds. Top speed is 50 km/h, electronically limited to 40 km/h if required. Gear changes are cushioned by a torque converter.

The closed hydraulic system delivers 120 l/min, and there are four flow-adjustable valves as standard for external hydraulics. The rear linkage offers a lift capacity of 10 500 kg. Radar-based slip control is standard.

Giugiaro’s styling is bold and eye-catching. The cab’s air suspension combined with the ZF front-axle hydraulic suspension is claimed to filter out 40 % of the vibration transmitted to the operator. The SBA differential lock and four-wheel-drive automation are the same as on the smaller Same models. The cab’s climate control system includes a 2-liter cold storage compartment, and the controls are identical to those found on the Deutz-Fahr.
