My Iltis - Tough, small, 4 seat military grade 4wd vehicle. Design criteria - transport four people, 500 kilos (about 1,100 pounds) and climb a 50° incline fully loaded. It had to be capable off-road but still be street-legal. It had to measure less than 4 meters (157 inches) long and 1.60 meters (63 inches) wide. Selectable 4wd with manual rear diff lock. Has no low range. Instead it has an extra low Gelande gear. 24v electrics. Engine is water cooled VW golf derived 1.7 4cyl. Top speed 130 kmh.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Iltis. Came 1st, 2nd and 4th in the 1980 Dakar.
My vehicle details:
Recently restored 1984 Iltis. I've owned it for around 9 years now. It has gasoline 1.7l low compression engine. Vehicle odometer showing around 22000 kms, engine swapped this year from Iltis showing around 8000kms. New batteries last year. 235/85 MTR tires replacing the military tires.. the best upgrade ever.
