American Bantam is returning to the original design philosophy adopted by the US Army Quartermaster (QMC) before the United States joined the second world war. Wartime jeeps were small, lightweight, low lying vehicles that were rugged, durable, easy to repair, easy to transport and could drive anywhere. These are the characteristics of the all new American Bantam off-road vehicles.
American Bantams come fully equipped for off-roading with a removable roll-cage, removable doors, military-grade axles, aluminum alloy wheels and traction tires. American Bantam vehicles weigh around the same as the original World War II jeeps: less than 2,500 lbs. (1,136 kg) making them able to conquer the toughest off-road terrain. Our modern fuel-injected turbocharged engine and 6-speed transmission delivers more than double the horsepower and 50% more torque than the jeeps from WW2!
American Bantams come equipped with adjustable racing seats complete with mounting points for 6-point seatbelt harnesses. While American Bantam bodies are small and lightweight, the vehicle is designed with a 62 inch (1570mm) track width, 30% wider than a WW2 jeep, for safety and stability off-road and on the highway.
