This vehicle was a light truck used by Germany during World War II. Its designer was Ferdinand Porsche. It had an air-cooled V8 engine with a displacement of 3.5 liters and a power output of 85 hp. An interesting feature is the front axle, which was suspended by torsion bars, while the rear was a classic rigid axle with leaf springs. This type allowed the installation of various superstructures and had wide use in ground forces. Its payload capacity was 1.6 tons, and it could reach speeds of up to 100 km/h on roads.
Approximately 18,000 vehicles were produced between 1941 and 1944.
The vehicle pictured from our collection has a box body superstructure.
