Why This 'Tiny' British Tank Became The Fastest Tracked Combat Vehicle Ever Certified

The FV101 Scorpion holds the Guinness World Record — 82.23 km/h (51.10 mph). No production tank has broken it in over two decades. It weighed eight tonnes. Less than a garbage truck. Built from aluminium, powered by a Jaguar sports car engine, crewed by three men. Every conventional military mind said it was too small, too light, too fragile to matter on a real battlefield. Then came the Falklands War. Then came the Gulf War. Then came 21 nations buying it. This is the full story of Britain's fastest, most underestimated Cold War fighting machine — from the Alvis factory in Coventry to the peat bogs of the South Atlantic, from the QinetiQ speed record run to the Iraqi desert.
