“The Pinzgauer is, arguably, the finest extreme mobility vehicle available in the world today. Its legendary features include 100% gradeability fully laden, a massive 360 mm of ground clearance, a short wheelbase, differential locks on all wheels…no other vehicle offers such a unique combination of strength of construction, ease of use, protected components and ultimate extreme mobility. All-wheel-drive and the differential locks are activated by switches on the dashboard – and can be operated on the move.

One of the most critical considerations when selecting a vehicle for world-wide extreme mobility is the track width and overall envelope of space around the vehicle. The optimum size is defined as a track width of 1.5 m and a vehicle width of not more than 1.8 m.”

well considering it's called the LOV....


it's not a big jump to call it the LOVe bus!

I dunno about that. Have you seen the Aussie Bushmaster IMV (it's fully NBC proofed) and is mounted with 7.62mm MAG 58.

But you still gotta love that pink van !!! Its looks so great like it would be so fun to play with.

It looks like a "Homosexuality Awareness" van that does "tolerance" plays to high school students as part of their sex-education.

Is this vehicle in the same class as a Humvee? Would it make a good alternative to the Hummer in the US Army?

It seems like faaar to big of a target...
