Armored Personnel Carrier Mamba, US Spec, B6 Ford F550 Chassis

Introducing a modernized Mamba design, based on the proven concept of the Mamba APC with the powerful 4x4 drivetrain that it always lacked. The new US specification Mamba is built on a Ford F550 chassis and delivers the performance and reliability needed today, with a proven track record.

Angular body With its angular body, the Mamba deflects the impact of blasts away from the occupants. The angular strike faces also significantly increases the effectiveness of the steel armor. Every kg is aligned for maximum effectiveness. Aesthetics Removable storage bins on the sides enhance the aesthetic appeal of the vehicle and makes it appear less aggressive. Considerable effort is currently underway to soften the appearance of the Mamba and a newly developed body will be available shortly. Power and Performance The F550 chassis provides the powerful 4x4 drivetrain that produces a staggering 300 hp at 570 ft lb. torque. This is enough to propel the new Mamba to a topspeed of 150 km/h under 20 seconds. Ballistic performance The fully protected Mamba body is manufactured from 6.35mm Armor steel, with the absolute minimum in welding. Heat affected zones are therefore kept to a minimum. Expert overlaps and labyrinths are used in these heat affected zones to provide full protection. In its standard configuration, this B6 ma mba will stop all soft core rifle fire.
