That thing is probably one of the ugliest vehicles ever constructed! But after reading the article it is also pretty badass
If you are a fan of innovative engineering you have to read the article. If you cant get the link to work, here are some key points I thought were pretty awesome.
aluminum bodied (same as old HMMWV's)
the Shadow uses a series of magnets for propulsion, driven by the main diesel motor
The vehicle is even capable of movement on a single hub motor. (you could have 3 motor failures and still get home!)
two axis pneumatic suspension, which allows the tires to be pulled in, reducing its footprint from a 79 inches to 62 inches.
The ground clearance can also be lowered to .1m.
...I like it now
