Its funny. The company that made and designed this prototype was the FMC corporation. My mother worked there its profits fed, clothed and schooled my dumb little ass. Not from this dead project tho. Sales of the jack of all, master of none Bradley IFV.
I only heard about this vehicle just recently. I've only heard of one other vehicle by FMC, the 2900R, the motorcoach. It's a shame this was never put in production.
"The XR-311 has what it takes." Except a back seat and room for cargo.... Would it have really been useful to the military? Very cool otherwise. And yes, a fun RC car!
Original version came with an air cooled Deutz diesel engine. FMC used an air cooled engine because want to lower weak points in design, like habing a liquid cooled engine which wad considered a disadvantage. This engine was later dropped becauae military dont want to rely or depends from offshore supplies for parts in case of war.
I have the original XR311 007. Its almost ready for the road again!
Cool video. The XR311 looks like an evolutionary missing-link between the humvee and the jeep.
And the beetle.
