This are MAN KAT 2. They were developed especially for the US Army as transport vehicle for the Pershing rocket. They have a water cooled V10 engine and the larger 16" tires.

The disadvantage is that they seat only two persons in the truck cab because of the engine placement. It also has a smaller wheelbase as the original 8x8 KAT 1. So a expedition cabin would not be longer than on a typical 6x6. Of course, the milage of this beast is well below 5 mpg.

Emil, what kind of mileage so you get with the KAT1? Sorry if you've mentioned this elsewhere.

Last year I got over about 8.500 km through russia with offroad a fuel usage of about 42 l/100 km (5.6 mpg). Some with lighter load get more than 6 mpg.

Hi,

here´s a nice one currently competing in the Dresden-Breslau 2008 rallye (with a 1000 BHP Leopard 2 Engine)

It´s piloted by Anja (seen here in 2007)

Who would know where I could find used MAN 8x8 trucks? I would like to use one as a service truck in next years Transsyberia Rallye.
What´s a realistic pricetag for a truck in a good condition?

Thanx,

Oily
