I was work on development of
akrep armoured vehicle ten years ago. I've got several good stories with our prototype (3.5lt V8 + 5 speed manual transmission + 3.54 diff. ratio). This lovely specification changed to (2.5lt TDI + 4.11 diff. ratio) just after serial production. But, I always prefer cars with weight is less than 1ton

(instead of 3.5ton)
