Chrysler TV-8

The Chrysler TV-8 was an experimental concept tank designed by Chrysler in the 1950s. The tank was intended to be a nuclear-powered medium tank capable of land and amphibious warfare. The TV-8 was presented in a proposal by Chrysler Corporation subsequent to the ASTRON meeting. Using an unconventional tank design, the proposed tank located the entire crew, engine and ammunition storage within a pod-shaped turret mounted above a lightweight chassis which could be separated for air shipment. Tank had 25 tons weight, 9 metres length, 3,5 metres width and 3 metres height. TV-8 was supported by 4 persons.  Tank was equipped in 90mm T208 cannon,  two 30mm machine guns and 50mm machine gun. The design was never mass-produced.
