The Leichter Panzerspähwagen were a series of light four-wheel drive armoured cars produced by Nazi Germany from 1935 to 1944. It used the standard sPkw I Horch 801 chassis with an angled armored body and turret.
The
rear mounted engine was a 67 kW (90 hp) Horch 3.5 petrol engine, giving
it a road speed of 80 km / h and a cross-country speed of 40 km / h.
Used by the reconnaissance battalions (Aufklärungs-
Abteilung) of the Panzer divisions, the type performed well enough in
countries with good road networks, like those in Western Europe.
However, on the Eastern Front andNorth Africa, this class of vehicle was
hampered by its Relatively
poor off-road performance. In those theaters, it increasingly found
itself replaced in the reconnaissance role by the Sdkfz 250 half-track.
