Much more obscure - with roots back in Germany´s darkest nazi war years...

This company has built some very recognizable and monstrous experimental vehicles during the war...

I guess it's the Lauster FML (LT40) 4x4 from 1969.




Coincidentally I had this Lauster MF 60 'Messwagen' in the pipeline for a future puzzle.

It must, I suppose, do a task.
I cannot think it is just 4x4, and good traction?

To my best knowledge it is just a maximum traction hauling vehicle with a Diesel-electric transmission.

The patented "Lauster-axle" can be lowered and functions like another pair of (actively powered!) wheels.

Do not ask me how it works in detail.

The cabin has no doors. It has to be entered through the roof...

Is the rumor true, that Lauster employed this clever paint scheme to hide the vehicle from public eyes during a 1969 Peter Max exhibition?

It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.
