This are MAN KAT 2. They were developed especially for the US Army as transport vehicle for the Pershing rocket. They have a water cooled V10 engine and the larger 16" tires.

The disadvantage is that they seat only two persons in the truck cab because of the engine placement. It also has a smaller wheelbase as the original 8x8 KAT 1. So a expedition cabin would not be longer than on a typical 6x6. Of course, the milage of this beast is well below 5 mpg.

Emil, what kind of mileage so you get with the KAT1? Sorry if you've mentioned this elsewhere.

Last year I got over about 8.500 km through russia with offroad a fuel usage of about 42 l/100 km (5.6 mpg). Some with lighter load get more than 6 mpg.

Heck, I only get 10 mpg out of my Jeep TJ........

 

[Trail Monkey]

the opening bid is $5k.. i think there might be more than $5k in scrap steel there...

 

[CodyLX450]

$25k reserve....

Sadly, I bet it has more cupholders than my LX450...

Hi,

here´s a nice one currently competing in the Dresden-Breslau 2008 rallye (with a 1000 BHP Leopard 2 Engine)

It´s piloted by Anja (seen here in 2007)

Who would know where I could find used MAN 8x8 trucks? I would like to use one as a service truck in next years Transsyberia Rallye.
What´s a realistic pricetag for a truck in a good condition?

Thanx,

Oily

Look at www.mobile.de for current offers.

The most recommended dealers are http://www.aignertrucks.com/ and http://www.schindler-allrad.de/ .

The price starts at about 25.000 € for the older KAT I models with air-cooled engine, and about 50.000 € for the newer KAT 1A1 with water-cooled engine. But it can even go higher for more modern MAN SX models.

Anyone have more info on that MAN truck with the leopard tank engine? I'd really like to get some more photos of it..

Thx!
