Notes: 20mm turret A very fast vehicle with good power-to-weight ratio, but inadequate cross-country performance. The 250/9 Panzerspahwagen carried the 20L55 turret from the SdKfz 222 armored car. It was quite overloaded.

Stats: 3 crew; 4.60×1.95×2.20m; Weight: 6.0 tonne; 100HP; P/W Ratio: 16.7HP/tonne; Main Ammo: 100 rounds
