This vehicle resides in the Michelin corporate museum. It was built in 1972 to test truck tires. It is powered by two Chevrolet 454's. One engine was used to power the vehicle while the other was to power a test tire mounted in the center of the vehicle. It was capable of speeds up to 110 mph. Lead was added to bring its weight to 21,000 lbs
