They say the Devil takes all of man’s best ideas, and turns them to evil intent. They also say that blowing stuff up is awesome, and military equipment is some of the coolest stuff on Earth. Cars...well, they’re a little bit of all of the above.
This article’s pretty straightforward: Topspeed’s list of the Top 10 military technologies to find their way into automobiles. Why 10? Because five wasn’t enough to cover the best ones, and "practically everything ever invented" wouldn’t fit within word count. Indeed, from fuel cell to front bumper, the average car is absolutely packed with ideas that were formed in the crucible of war. Even the wheel itself probably started out on war chariots back in the Bronze Age.
But this article’s going to focus on military innovations within America’s wartime history. Meaning, pretty much since there’s been an America. Even that list could go on for decades; the Devil’s been pretty busy of late. But, we’ve got self-driving hybrid supercars going 300 mph now, and Lamborghinis modeled after stealth fighters. So, maybe it all worked out for the best.
Here’s the list.
