Jeep Willys2 The Jeep Willys2 is a concept car made by the Chrysler Group. It was presented at the 2001 Tokyo Auto Show. It is based on the Willys MB. The Willys2 uses frame web technology and a one-piece carbon-fiber body. It looks like a newer, meaner version of the Liberty. The Willys2 took many design cues from other Jeep models such as the special seven-slot grille and trapezoidal wheel arches. The Willys2 weighs about 3000 pounds with its removable carbon-fiber top. Its 160-hp I4 engine can accelerate it from 0 to 60 mph in 10 seconds, to a top speed of about 90 mph. The interior is all plastic, and it is possible to clean the interior by spraying it with water. Part of the design of the Willys2 was incorporated into the Jeep Liberty.

As with the previous generation, it was based on the platform of the Audi 80; the corresponding B2 version of which had been already launched in 1978.

Beijing BJ212 The Chinese BAW Beijing BJ212 (Chinese: 北京212) and BAW BJ2020 is a Land Rover and Jeep inspired four-wheel drive, originally a 2445cc 4 cylinder gas-engine powered (4 cylinder diesel engines were added in the 2000s) light-duty offroad utility vehicle in the half tonne class, built by Beijing Automobile Works.

M10 tank destroyer The M10 tank destroyer was an American tank destroyer of World War II. After US entry into World War II and the formation of the Tank Destroyer Force, a suitable vehicle was needed to equip the new battalions. By November 1941, the Army requested a vehicle with a gun in a fully rotating turret after other interim models were criticized for being too poorly designed. The prototype of the M10 was conceived in early 1942, being delivered in April of that year. After appropriate changes to the hull and turret were made, the modified version was selected for production in June 1943 as the 3-inch Gun Motor Carriage M10. It mounted a 3-inch (76.2 mm) Gun M7 in a rotating turret on a modified M4A2 Sherman tank chassis. An alternate model, the M10A1, which used the chassis of an M4A3 Sherman tank, was also produced. Production of the two models ran from September 1942 to December 1943 and October 1942 to November 1943, respectively.

LT vz. 34 The LT vz. 34, formally designated as Lehký Tank vzor 34 ("Light Tank Model 34") was a Czechoslovak-designed light tank used mainly by Slovakia during World War II. Its suspension was based on that of the Carden-Loyd tankette, of which the Czechs had purchased three, plus a manufacturing license, in 1930. Dissatisfied with the prototypes of the Tančík vz. 33 tankette, the Czech Army decided that it would be easier to design a light tank from scratch rather than modify a tankette's chassis to carry a fully rotating armored turret. 50 were built, the last of which was delivered during 1936, of which the Germans captured 22 - including the prototype, when they occupied Bohemia-Moravia in March 1939, but they promptly scrapped them. The Slovaks seized the remaining 27 (18 + 9 nine LT vz. 34 light tanks which the Czechs had evacuated from Carpatho-Ukraine to Humene and Prešov.) when they declared independence from Czechoslovakia at the same time. In Slovak service it only saw combat during the Slovak National Uprising.

T2 tank The T2 Medium Tank was an American design that replaced three prototype medium tank designs started in the 1920s for an experiment conducted by United States Army. The T2 tank never saw combat and left prototype stages and was not mass-produced with having only one built in the 1930 by Rock Island Arsenal. Its legacy, however was the M2 light tank, developed into the M2 medium, and onto the M3 Lee and M4 Sherman medium tanks.
