Puma I

Not to be confused with the one with tracks, called the Puma 1.
The Schwerer Panzerwagen I (Sch.Pz.w. I) (English: Heavy Armored Car I), known as the Puma I by soldiers, is an armored car (tank car, if you're awesome) used by the Burgewehr during World War 2 and it was one of Germany's best fighting vehicles, heck, normal vehicles in history. It was the fastest and most advanced armored car ever made when it was released. 
== Specs ==
=== Arms ===
The default/average Sch.Pz.w. I was equipped with a unique 5 cm Panzerwagenkanone 43 (PzwK 43) main gun and a MG42 coaxial gun. 
The 5 cm PzwK 43 is a lightweight turret and cannon that was built specifically for use on the Puma. Hitler wanted the fastest and most maneuverable anti-tank armored car, so he got some of the best car designers and builders in Germany and made them clash heads with his best armored car designers and told them that he wanted a heavy armored car that could turn at full speed without rolling over. A lightweight turret was of top importance by the armor designers and with great efforts, they created a turret that weighs only 913.6 lbs. in total. The main gun's most anti-tank round could easily penetrate the front armor of an M5A1 Stuart and the side armor of a Jumbo Sherman from 1,700 feet away.
=== Buff Horses ===
Hitler wanted the Puma to have a special engine that could get it to go 0-100 km/h in 10 seconds. The Puma engine (the tank itself is actually nicknamed after its engine) is a double I3 diesel engine that makes 482 hrspr and makes it sound like a tough and formidable, giant truck. The engine was designed by Cadillac, for some reason, and Volkswagen stole the design but made it better with more and more engineering. 
The final version of the battle Puma weighed 9.25-9.36 God Blessed American tons in total and could go from 0-100 km/h in 10.6-12.4 seconds.
The Puma had quad steering (it is literally the only 8x8 with quad steering) so it could turn on a dime, kind of like a tank but it can't pivot itself in one spot. 
== Speed Variant ==
The Puma SS (Super Sport, not Schutzstaffel, yuh head!) is a sports variant of the Puma I that keeps the 8x8 quad steer but is built with a powerful 864 horsepower V8 engine and has various improvements of the suspension. The Puma SS has been used in worldwide military motorsports and motor shows to show how good Germans are at engineering. It is also the only German vehicle that consistently gets first place in most motorsports. 
== Historians Think About This Thing ==
War historians and gamers alike think that if the Germans made more of these nimble armored cars, then the Germans could have won the War or delay it, severely. But the smart historians have to remind them that winning war isn't just having the best war wagon, it is having the best logistics and capability of feeding their infantry. Little did the Germans know that giving their soldiers tanks that also serve as grills for burgers could have delayed their defeat far longer.
