Unimog - Wikipedia
Description: The Unimog (from the German "UNIversal-MOtor-Gerät", meaning "universal motor machine/equipment") is a series of trucks from Daimler-Benz designed shortly after WWII, originally to be used as slow-moving tractors for Germany's potato harvest.
They feature very high ground clearance ( greater than the Humvee ) made possible by portal gears that allow the axles and transmission to be higher than the tires' centers. Unimogs also feature a flexible frame that allows the tires a wide range of vertical movement to allow the truck to comfortably drive over extremely uneven terrain, even meter-high boulders.

Police Car - Wikipedia
Description: A police car is a vehicle used by police forces around the world to patrol, temporarily detain and transport individual criminal suspects.
Such vehicles are known variously around the world as police cruiser, squad car, prowler, radio car, panda car, area car, scout car or patrol car. In some places a police car may also be nicknamed a cop car, a cherry top or a jam sandwich.
Use of the police car has largely replaced the tradition of officers or constables "walking a beat" in most jurisdictions. Advocates of community policing have asked police departments to encourage constables to spend less time in their vehicles and more time walking the streets and interacting with the community.
With the advent of highways and motorways, special patrols have been established to monitor traffic offenses as well as engage suspects in flight. Highway and motorway patrols may use special pursuit cars that are designed for safe handling at higher speeds.
