panzerspahwagen rk

In 1938, the Waffenamt issued an order for Saurer in Vienna to develop a reconnaissance vehicle in the wheel-cum-track configuration.
Extended Description
The resulting vehicle, designated Saurer RK 9, was of 8.5 tons, with 14.5 mm to 5.5 mm armour. It was powered by a Saurer OKD diesel motor of 100 hp. On wheels, a speed of 80 km/hr, and on tracks, 30 km/hr could be achieved.

Two prototypes were built. The first, with an open-topped superstructure, was delivered by June 1942, and the second, with a turret, was delivered shortly afterwards. The turret was similar to contemporary reconnaissance vehicle designs. Armament was the EW 141 and an MG 34.
