- The Ferret is a Cobra vehicle from the A Real American Hero series.
Vehicle profile[]
The Ferret is Cobra's answer to the G.I. Joe R.A.M. Though this 4-wheeler cannot match the R.A.M.'s speed, it makes up for it with its all-terrain capability and firepower. While it can traverse practically any terrain, it's sorely lacking in armor. As a quad bike, it is best suited for light infantry and security detail.
Features[]
The Cobra Ferret is a powerful quad bike with flexible, off-road tires, one-piece welded steel wheels, a 6 forward-speed transmission, and a free-floating transverse front suspension. The bike is powered by a 16-valve liquid-cooled 115 hp 4-cycle engine. This 4-wheeler is armed with driver-controlled twin .50 caliber machine guns, a side-slung electric CMF-1 10-round grenade launcher, and 2 laser-seeking "Com-Bat" rockets.
