The Leichter Panzerspähwagen were a few light four-wheel drive armoured cars made by Nazi Germany from 1935 to 1944. It used the typical sPkw I Horch 801 chassis with an angled armoured body and turret. A corner mounted engine had been a 67 kW (90 hp) Horch 3.5 petrol engine, giving it a road rate of 80 km/h and a cross-country speed of 40 km/h . It had a maximum selection of 300 km. Used by the reconnaissance battalions (Aufklärungs-Abteilung) of this Panzer divisions, the kind done well enough in nations with good road systems, like those in Western European countries. But on Eastern Front and North Africa, this class of automobile had been hampered by its fairly bad off road performance. In those theaters, it slowly discovered itself replaced in the reconnaissance role by the Sdkfz 250 half-track.
