Body

The crew compartment consists of an all-steel welded armour capsule to which chassis sub-frames are bolted. The engine compartment and the rear section of the 5-man version are not ballistically protected.

Windows

Windows are of ballistic laminated glass of the same protection rating as the steel body and may be fitted with firing ports as an option. Doors open wide to permit easy mounting and dismounting and are fitted with heavy-duty,
positive locking slam locks.

Engine and Transmission

The Scout is powered by a Toyota Landcruiser 6-cylinder water-cooled, turbo charged diesel engine with direct fuel injection, which is coupled to an automatic transmission. Top speed is 150 km/h.

Interior

The Scout is fitted with comfortable, upholstered seats (adjustable for the driver and co-driver). Plain, but effective instrumentation and controls are fitted which are easily accessible to the driver. As much of the Toyota Landcruiser’s interior is transferred to the Panzer 5 as is possible. This would include the dashboard.

Protection

The crew capsule is protected to a level of 7,62 x 51mm and 5,56 x 45mm NATO ball ammunition and against a variety of grenades, firebombs and thrown missiles. Protection includes the firewall, roof and floor - areas often neglected in up-armoured vehicles.
