The Sd.Kfz.247 Ausf.B (4 Rad type) was produced in 58 units between 1941 and 1942 by Daimler Benz using the Horch Typ 1c standard chassis with 4 wheels and rear wheel drive on 2 wheels.
It was equipped with a Horch 801 water cooled V8 gasoline engine with 81hp, had a top speed of about 80 km/h and a range of about 400 km on paved roads. Crew of 6. Armor thickness 6 to 8 mm. Compared with the earlier 6 wheel Ausf.A it was lighter and more maneuverable. Later versions added a pintle mount for the MG34/42 machine gun.
It was mainly used on the Eastern Front with some also confirmed in Normandy.
Due to the lack of radio equipment its function as a command vehicle was limited but it still held value as a safe transport for high ranking officers.
