| Armed with a long-barrelled 5cm gun turret, the German Army's 8-wheeled Puma could be considered the most powerful armored car produced in WWII. Its design was distinguished by its sloped armor, independent leaf spring suspension, and 8-wheel drive with 8-wheel steering system. Powered by a Czech-made 210hp air-cooled engine, it was capable of a maximum road speed of 80km/h and its front/rear driver positions enabled quick withdrawals from battle. 101 examples were built from late-1943 to September 1944 and they were used in the force reconaissance role on all fronts. |
