Lamborghini LM001
The Lamborghini LM001 is an off-road vehicle made by Lamborghini in 1981. It was first revealed at the 1981 Geneva Auto Show along with the new-at-the-time Lamborghini Jalpa.
The LM001 was made for military use, but only one prototype was ever made. This was because the rear-engine design made the car handle poorly.
Even though the previously made Lamborghini Cheetah was a failure, Lamborghini still wanted to make an off-road military vehicle. The Cheetah concept was redesigned into the LM001. Unlike the Cheetah's Chrysler engine, the LM001 prototype had a 134 kW 5.9-litre AMC-built V8. The V12 from the Countach was supposed to be used for production models.

Sanmiguelia
Sanmiguelia is a genus of the fossil plants, possible may be among the earliest of angiosperms. It was determined on the basis its imprints of palm-shaped leaves originated from Triassic geological period (251 to 199.6 million years ago). They were found in rocks from Colorado .
The leaves were ellipsoidal and wrinkled, up to 40 cm long and 25 cm wide, and were at the apex of a tapered or spindle-shaped stem.
According to these data, it belonged to a possible family flowering plants " Sanmigueliaceae ", unknown order, in class Magnoliopsida, division Tracheophyta.
Incitatus
Incitatus was Emperor Caligula's favorite horse. He lived in Ancient Rome around 40 c.e. His name means "fast-moving."
There is a story that Caligula made his horse a senator, but it is probably not true. According to historian Mary Beard, no ancient historian who was alive at the same time as Caligula ever said Caligula really made Incitatus a senator, and it is likely that he only told a joke about doing it.
Ancient historians do say Caligula gave his horse many gifts. In 121 c.e., in his book "The Twelve Caesars", the historian Suetonius says of Incitatus: "Besides a stall of marble, a manger of ivory, purple blankets and a collar of precious stones, he even gave this horse a house, a troop of slaves and furniture, for the more elegant entertainment of the guests invited in his name; and it is also said that he planned to make him consul."
In Robert Graves' 1934 book "I, Claudius", the fictional Caligula does make the fictional Incitatus a senator and gives him an ivory trough to eat out of. This is one of the ways Graves shows that Caligula has become mentally unstable. After Caligula dies, Claudius treats Incitatus like a normal horse again.
A talking version of Incitatus appears as a villain in Rick Riordan's 2018 young adult novel "The Burning Maze".
Lamborghini Cheetah
The Lamborghini Cheetah is an off-road prototype that was made by Lamborghini in 1977.
The Lamborghini Cheetah was the first off-road vehicle made by Lamborghini. It was designed to be used by the military. The design of the Cheetah was largely a copy of Food Machinery Corporation (FMC)'s XR311 prototype, which was developed for the military in 1970. This resulted in legal action from FMC against Lamborghini in 1977.
The Cheetah was built in San Jose, California. After it was built, the prototype was sent to Sant'Agata Bolognese so Lamborghini could put on the finishing touches. The Cheetah was powered by a large, waterproofed 180 bhp 5.9L Chrysler engine, rear mounted, with a 3 speed automatic transmission. The mounting of the engine in the rear gave the Cheetah very poor steering, and the engine was not powerful enough for the Cheetah. This resulted in poor performance overall.
The only finished prototype was never tested by the US military. It was later sold to Teledyne Continental Motors, and it still exists today.
Lamborghini eventually developed the Lamborghini LM002. The LM002 had a similar design to the Cheetah, but it had a 12-cylinder motor from the Lamborghini Countach mounted in the front.
