Cheers for that man - heres a pdf on it :

Interesting that the standard ( and presumably lighter ) version has the top speed governed to 80kph. Maybe a safety feature or maybe the engine gets screwed when taken up to ungoverned top speed.

it would be nice if the new light vehicle models had such alot of the gear on the vehicles to make them look more.. infantry-ized.

It says the engine is a 5.9 litre Cummins ISBe Euro3. Pretty good top speed considering its 7 tons
Euro3? Tut, that means their emissions standards aren't up to scratch! Naughty MoD.

Which means my Fiat Panda outclasses that beast then, I have a Euro4-standard engine!

Masaq, would you argue with it? Our lads are using these in Afghan atm. Serious pieces of kit when teamed with WMIKs with the AGL and Javelin for the Fire Support Group, along with 81mm mortors

Hey hey hey, I didn't claim the panda was any better at moving infantry around hostile combat zones!

Here’s a short vid of the Jackal being tested: LiveLeak.com - Army Vehicle Test

Though I know little about all terrain vehicles, this looks most impressive to me –seems very quick and smooth.

I wonder what it's like being transported. Ease of transport that sorta stuff?
I assume you stick it in the back of a chinook or could it be carried on ropes?

But it looks awesome all the same, the unarmored version looks like something that you would take out bush.

yes, fits in the back of a chinook, although top weapon has to be stowed (same story with the wmiks though)
