The M18 Hellcat was an American tank destroyer of World War II. Armed with a 76 mm cannon the vehicle was the fastest tracked armored fighting vehicle during World War II with a top speed up to 60 mph (92kph) and Buick nicknamed it the Hellcat. The speed was attained by keeping armor to a minimum no more than 1 thick. Hellcat crews took advantage of the vehicle’s speed to minimize the enemy’s ability to pierce its thin armor.
