My information about this car is very limited. I know only the builder and power aggeragate...

AFAIK, this car hasn't been built neither by nor for tyre manufacturer.. I'll just check it again...

No, that one was Citroën DS-based. This one sure looks Cadillac-based, or am I wrong?

Cadillac-based, obviously, alleged to have been built by Sbaaro for the Technicum Technical School in Bienne, Switzerland as a tire-tester/laboratory.

Tuckeroo, well done (explanation sent via PM)! It is indeed a car built by Ingenieurschule Biel from Switzerland. It is also said that it was built for this school by Franco Sbarro... However it is close enough to earn a really deseved point. To be honest, i thought this one to last much longer :(

so I found this info in german:
":hot: :hot: habe vor mir ein kleines bild + technische daten von einem versuchsfahrzeug aus dem jahre 1980 mit 5 achsen (davon 3 gelenkt) , 3 cadillac V8 motoren zu je 165 kw und einer Vmax von 170 km/h bei über 9000 kg gesamtgewicht, LXBXH = 9,6m x 2,1 x 2,6m! ist doch echt imposant.:hot: :hot: @toledo_td_93: habe mal ein bild an seat-toledo@web.de gemailt, falls interesse daran besteht, kannst du es ja allen zugänglich machen. "

and it was used not to test tyres but to some tests swiss roads
