Its got AWD, and it has a Navi however it only takes you to Poland, also the fuel mileage isn't that great.

But it would be great during rush hour!

Awesome to see something like that. Could you imagine being there in person? I've always been somewhat of a history buff and would love to see them. Imagine yourself as a young American GI on the battlefield somewhere in the Arden Forest. Hunkered down in a foxhole and wandering WTF was happening. Peeking out to see a few of these bearing down on you.

I would have **** my pants.

That was cool. I'd like to take that for a spin in downtown Washington! It would be easy to find a parking space, that's for sure.

Who made the engines for those and other military equipment used by the Germans in WWII? Was it Daimler?

Hmm

Tanks tended to use Maybach 12 cylinder engines.

But you are right about Daimler... the BF 109's used different varieties of Daimler-Benz inverted V12's, some with water/methanol injection and multi stage supercharging.


The FW 190's had radial engines, and BMW produced those, as well as Junkers. Daimler stuck with the inverted V12's


Tanks were almost singularly Maybach engines.


But our beloved P51D Mustang, the ultimate fighter of WWII; it had a lovely Packard produced Rolls Royce Merlin. A perfect marriage of American and English engineering, to produce one badass engine. Take that Germans!


Here's a pic of the DB601, an Daimler Benz inverted v12 from a 109
