Ford 1600 (A) or Lamborghini 1 R (DT)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, no comparable figure differs by more than its threshold: on this data the machines are level. On features, the Ford 1600 (A) is ahead on forward gears; the Lamborghini 1 R (DT) is ahead on top speed.
- The Lamborghini 1 R (DT) suits road haulage better on this data: 33% (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) more top speed.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “the same stated configuration”. Measured figures are compared only with measured, claimed only with claimed, at the same test condition; differences within each figure’s tolerance are not called.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Lamborghini 1 R (DT) is 11% heavier (110 kg / 243 lb) than the Ford 1600 (A) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Ford 1600 (A) has 50% more forward gears (3 gears) than the Lamborghini 1 R (DT) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Lamborghini 1 R (DT) has 33% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Ford 1600 (A) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Ford 1600 (A) is newer: production began 15 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on power at the PTO shaft (both power at the PTO, claimed): the difference is under the 10% threshold for claimed figures, too small to call.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the 1600 (A): lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Ford 1600”); the 1 R (DT): lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Lamborghini 1 R (1961/1967)”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
