*'''''Autoblindo 40-41-43''''': Uniquely, the Autoblindo 40 was actually revised and redesigned a few times during its development thanks to its original purpose for recon and policing duties including in overseas colonies. Essentially the car was built from the ground up to perform in the same environments Italy would find itself fighting in during the second world war allowing the vehicle to operate for much longer times compared to their somewhat slapped together allied equivalents. The 41 simply replaced the turrets weapons from two machine guns to a 20mm Breda autocannon in order to make the vehicle more capable during skirmishes with similar vehicles. A more original design similar to the German armoured cars was in mind for the 42 model, but since it had North Africa in mind development stopped after Italy left the area. Instead, the 41 was improved with a better engine and improved armour. It ultimately performed well in all theatres and was even well liked by the Germans who used it.

*'''''Autoprotetto S.37''''': While the Italian Army knew from the start of the war that they would need their own armoured personal carriers the three designs proposed were…Less than impressive. The S.37 was the only one to actually see production and was literally just a failed armoured car design with the turret ripped off. Uniquely, despite being designed for transporting squads it used four-wheels left over from the original armoured car design rather than being a half-track preferred by the other major powers. This allowed the vehicle to move faster and was easier to produce and keep running, though naturally had a lot more trouble on muddy off the road terrain. Carried eight men (not great, but not terrible) while having the option for a machine gun both at the front and back, but usually had it at the back. There were also two variants both replacing most of its carry capacity for either a flamethrower or a Elefantino gun.

*'''''1ZM''''': Often mistranslated to the IZM (even Warlord Games use this incorrect spelling) the 1ZM is a modification to the 1Z used during the first world war, which was quite the advanced design for its time but saw little to no combat since Italy spent most of the time killing (then dying to) Austrians atop mountains. The original model actually had a [[Ork|machine gun turret attached to its machine gun turret]] resulting in an armament of three machine guns, a shocking amount of firepower for the time. The more streamlined 1ZM however ditched the extra turret while also using experience from the war to install wire cutters (hence those weird rails running up the front.) It would be accurate to say by the time WW2 started it was horribly out of date in every way possible but still did an ok job during the start of the East Africa front as the British forces were limited to whatever vehicles they could scrounge up in the dessert Wallace and Gromit style.

*'''''Lince''''': Italian for Lynx, this vehicle was pretty much a carbon copy of the British Dingo armored car, to the point that yes they ripped off a vehicle named after a small carnivore before then renaming it after a different small carnivore. Information on the vehicle is very limited, only that about 300 were built by the RSI before seeing use in anti-partisan actions in Italy and the Balkans and that the light machine gun armament was replaced with an Italian Breda 38 from above.
