The M18 Hellcat was an American tank destroyer designed to combat the German Wehrmacht's tanks.
The vehicle had a compact, lightweight hull, an 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 reaching 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 were first used on the Italian front in 1944.
This tank destroyer was then used in the theaters of war in northwestern Europe and the Pacific.
