Marauder- Top Gear finds world’s most unstoppable vehicle
|Tested on Top Gear by Clarkson’s co-presenter Richard Hammond, the Marauder is a ten-ton military vehicle that the public can buy – if you have $500,000 spare.
To prove its credentials on the battlefield, Hammond conducted a series of tests to show just what it can do. Most staggeringly of all, the presenter placed seven pounds of plastic explosive under the vehicle to see what damage it caused.
The answer was very little. In fact the car barely even had a scratch, with just a flat rear tire and damage to a piece of trim. In contrast a Hummer – another military vehicle – was blown to pieces by the same amount of explosive during the test.
