This is the Crusher, a new robot vehicle created by engineers. Although it is operational, it is still 6 to 10 years away from being deployed, if it ever gets past the drawing boards.

Wow. That is a beast. 2.0 inline-4 economy model, anyone?

"A 78-horsepower, turbo-diesel engine acts as a generator in the system, outputting a continuous 58 kilowatts (kW) of power to charge Crusher's 300-volt, 18.7-kW, lithium-ion battery pack. The batteries in turn run six 210-kW electric motors, one situated in each of the six wheel hubs. Each motor produces 282 horsepower."
282 x 6 = 1692hp... that's a lot of inline-4's...

I'm sure your military will work out how to use it to kill allies.

Oh yeah, we're specialties at that, although you guys get your fair share of it too.
