The 'Puma' Sd.Kfz.234/2 was undoubtedly the best armoured car of WW2; well protected for its role as a recon vehicle, highly mobile and heavily armed, but its late introduction into service when the tides of war had swung against Germany, and the modest production totals of all variants ensured that this magnificent fighting vehicle never really fulfilled its conceptual promise.
Fitted with the superb 50 mm L/60 cannon, it was hard to stop a crew engaging in combat, rather than scouting.
The vehicle had 2 driving positions, one front and one rear facing, as it had the same speed and manoeuvrability in reverse as it did forward.
Fitted with 8 independently powered and steered wheels it sported 'bulletproof tyres' and a 1st for smoke dischargers
An very advance design that was years ahead of its time it was studied by the allies after the war and many of its features were adopted in their future designs.
