That NSU was stripped of its engine and all parts so it's no wonder it became so flat when crushed.Besides it's an early 70's compact car anyway.

??? While I was assigned to the NAB Little Creek Amphib Museum (while there WAS one), I saw a LARC-XV manual and inside the engine-rooms of 2 of them. The book said two normally-aspirated Cummins-300 V8s (792 cubic inches each). What I saw looked like a pair of normally-aspirated V8 Diesels. Looked as if the cabin & the deck would need to go, if any serious work on those puppies was required. Best regards, all.

@mathiastheok the larc does not use v12 it uses 4 6-71 detroit diesels each powering one wheel and 2 in tandem to power the props

That thing must weigh a million tons. The LARC that is.

These we're what the LCAC (Landing Craft Air Cushion...the Navy hovercraft's)replaced. They weigh about 100 tonnes and can carry the same. Powered by a couple of Detroit Diesel v12's. Seeing them in real life you just stand there looking up with your mouth open. No question in your mind that these things could crush a house without a second thought. They needed replacing as the new Hovercraft landing vehicles are much faster ans can traverse virtually any terrain.

From what we are told by those that still maintain these in the US Army and National Guard inventory, the LARC is still the only vehicle able to carry such a load over rough surf and up steep slopes once on land, reportedly 45-60%. But what a maintenance nightmare!

I think that is the flattest I've ever seen a car get crushed. How much does it weigh?

Unladen, it weighed about 195,000 pounds when we craned it out of the Cumberland River. It's rated for 60,000# payload, but was known to carry up to 100,000 under ideal conditions.
