Would you drive the new US Infantry Squad Vehicle?

It features a Diesel engine and a suspension that can handle off road jumps. Unlike the mid sized truck its based on, it features no emission equipment, no air bags, and no body panels to save weight. It can seat up to 9 and be sling loaded into a helicopter.

Helping keep costs down, GM's ISV utilizes 70 percent off-the-shelf parts, making it easier to produce since the company already builds the Colorado ZR2. Chevrolet Performance developed the ISV's long-travel Multimatic DSSV dampers, long-travel rear leaf springs, jounce shocks, front upper control arms, heavy-duty driveshaft, underbody skidplates, and half shafts. Most of those parts are available either on the ZR2 Bison or as part of the Chevy's ZR2 racing program.

According to GM, the U.S. Army's ISV must be light enough to be sling-loaded into a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter, compact enough to fit into a CH-47 Chinook Helicopter, and capable of traveling at highway speeds on pavement with nine passengers and their gear.

Looks like it would be a fun go-cart.
