R87038 TATRA T111S

Tatra 111 is a Czechoslovakian truck from World War II and the post-war period. The first prototypes of this car were made in 1941 or 1942, and serial production was carried out in 1942-1962. The drive was provided by a single 12-cylinder Tatra V910 engine with a maximum power of 210 HP. The Tatra 111 was designed by Hans Ledwinek for the Wehrmacht as a new off-road truck. The car turned out to be a very successful design. It was characterized by reliability, a good power-to-weight ratio, good driving dynamics and good off-road properties. The vehicle also had a maximum load capacity of 10 tons and could tow a semi-trailer weighing up to 22 tons, which at that time was more than a good result. These features meant that after 1945 its production was continued for both civil and military needs. Based on the basic version, various specialized versions were also created, for example: a tank car (Tatra 111 C).
