The M18 Hellcat was an American tank destroyer designed to combat German Wehrmacht tanks.
The vehicle featured a compact, lightweight hull, automatic transmission, and the first torsion bar suspension found on US armored vehicles.
Its 9-cylinder radial engine at the rear of the fuselage was capable of a top speed of 80 km/h - the highest speed for tracked vehicles during World War II.
Production began in July 1943 and the M18s saw action on the Italian front for the first time in 1944.
After that, this tank destroyer was used in the theaters of war in Northwest Europe and the Pacific.
