Great Sounding Turbo Diesel Challenger Tank.

Here's some video of the Challenger Tanks at Bovington Tank Museum putting on a great display for the crowd.i gotta say this is the best sounding tank for sure.

The Challenger 2 has a 12-cylinder, 1,200hp Perkins Caterpillar CV12 diesel engine and a David Brown TN54 gearbox, with six forward and two reverse gears. Second-generation Hydrogas suspension and hydraulic track tensioner are fitted. The maximum speed by road is 59km/h and 40km/h cross country. The range is given as 450km by road and 250km cross country

1:30 to 1:45 OMG amazing sound, i wish the abrams used the condor diesel

@YB49887 Sure the turbo diesel sounds great, but the Abrams engine start is totally awesome sounding, almost like science fiction.

you know those people that say there is a phone case that can be run over by a tank well you say to them yeah i always throw my phone in front of tanks

[Wonkabar007]

@Misiame I bet it only works on soft muddy ground.

@gizmo1watts1

It is a Perkins 26.6 litre diesel engine. The Abrams uses a turbine.

@zelibober Yeah. How foolish of the British military to forget that the main strength of an MBT is stealth...

[ArrowTwoOne]

that tank sounds amazing when its on the concrete, the screeching it makes when it turns, wow. THATS scary noise. the roar of the engine is too, but that screech is scary haha

@zelibober

Why is that wrong with the engine quite nicely playing music? If a tank is well done and has the characteristic sound, then the combination is quite smashing.( I know, my english is terrible but i can't help it :( .)

@sg777778 T-90 are shit! they are just upgraded t-72's

[sg777778]

@wowgamer14 No way. Three best tanks:

1. Merkava 4

2. Oplot-M

3. T-90

[sg777778]

@sg777778 The first one, anyway. The second one is a Challenger.

[sg777778]

That's not a Challenger, that's a Challenger 2.

[zelibober]

I guess catching its enemies by surprise is NOT the strongest side of this machine. TOTAL FAIL!

@EggChops No I deff hear it miss firing.. maybe the spark plugs needed to be regapped..

@JerryTheHeretic

The driver was just easing up on the throttle in order to balance the large tank on the tip of the small hill. The tank has more than enough power to climb a small incline such as that one. The turret turned only to help the driver balance on the tank as well, not because he "Strained" to get up there, as turning the turret wouldn't have made a difference anyway. If you've ever seen a video of a struggling tank, you'd see the tracks slipping, and mud / dirt flying.
