Looking for a last-minute gift idea? Here’s a full-working 1/4-sized tank “powered by two, 500 watt 24 volt motors which are so powerful that it can pull a car on a level surface,” according to the Sun. The tank is a six-foot long replica of a German King Tiger, with “a fully working turret and a 2ft long gun with realistic recoil action.” Wow.
While you won’t be able to actually blow anything up with the gun, the tank’s got built-in speakers for scaring the hell out of anyone within earshot. If you’re in the UK, you can pick the tank up for a cool £6,600 (about $10,200) at Mark 1 Tank Company.

Oh yes, that highly reputable news source…
2×500Watts is only a little over 1 horsepower. But with enough of a gear down you can multiply the torque to stump pulling proportions. It will just do it very slowly. Not really “powerful” just torque-A-ful
