Based on the basic version, many specialized and modernized versions were also created, including: Honker 4021 (ambulance), Honker Max (vehicle with increased off-road capability), as well as a fire engine version. There was also a prototype Honker Skorpion, which received light armor and armament and was dedicated to Polish troops serving in Iraq. Slightly modernized, it entered production under the designation Honker Skorpion-3.
