I'm going to take a wild guess and say it's going to cost way more than a GT500 to buy this new Tiger and ship it over to the states.

Still, being a WWII nut, I think this is really cool and wish I had the money and lifestyle to feasibly get one of these. As I recall, the Tiger was the first tank to actually sport power steering (you steered with a steering wheel vs. clutch and levers).

... for the buyer who thinks Trucks/SUV's like the Hummer H2, or even the Topkick are simply not big enough... waiting for the first "hip-hop artist" to bling one of these out. spinners on all of the chromed-out wheels to match the chromed, diamond-encrusted armor plating, anyone? don't forget the acoustic wave cannon barrel to replace the original piece for some slammin' bass! or maybe keep the original cannon to maintain street cred and "respect" in tha' hood.

That would be a sad day indeed. You know why? Because it's not even that unfeasible....

Truly, we live in the golden age of humanity, when somebody can buy a reproduction WWII tank.

It would be just as ineffective as the 'real' one was


I don't see this being a viable business, how many would order it, three maybe for a couple museums and a private collector, and one or two for movie use? They could of used it for saving private ryan for sure, but what other WWII movie will have the budget for one...
