TV-8 Tank

Unbuilt proposal.

The Chrysler TV-8 was an American concept for an unconventional tank with a large enclosed turret-like structure containing crew and major vehicle systems. It explored radically different packaging and propulsion possibilities but did not become an operational vehicle. The concept’s internal arrangement departed sharply from the usual separation of hull and turret functions. Such studies explored what future propulsion and packaging might allow, but remained proposals. Chrysler proposed the design during the 1950 s, when American engineers investigated novel ways to improve tank mobility and crew protection. The main turret pod was intended to house the crew, gun, and power equipment above a comparatively small tracked chassis. Electric drive and alternative power arrangements featured in the concept’s exploration of future armored-vehicle architecture.
