For your Ground Clearance pleasure

Adjustable from 5" to 23"... LINK
(Not sure if that'll be enough for Wes's approval.)

I like to measure actual ground clearance by axle/lowest point. I don't know why they're making that vehicle, but it's a crap design for our current conflict. IEDs will flip it right over.
Now this is ground clearance

It's actually not too bad to drive. Luxurious compared to the hmmwv

However, from what I can understand of the F.E.D. is that this vehicle is just what they claim it to be a demonstrator platform.
They are trying out and testing new Efficiency methodologies for a "Faster" AND "MORE Fuel Efficient" small vehicle transport.
And, in all honesty I had no clue how poor the M1114 is when it came to acceleration (0-60 MPH in 35secs!) and Lame when it came to burning fuel... at 4-5 MPGs!?
So, in comparison to this FED:
4.5L inline 4 Cylinder : Turbo AND Supercharged, 200HP
0-60 in 29sec.
7-13MPG
I'll be the first to admit that when it comes to vehicle armor and IED protection/prevention, I'm a layman on the topics.

Just thought I'd mention it after seeing that horrible 0-60 time.
