The Makina Multi 163 was an unsually ugly and awkward APC developed in the early 1980’s. Flush with the success of their Carancho 180 security vehicle, Makina developed this lightly armored vehicle for airport security. With a design reminiscent of a jumbo jet, the driver sits high in the front of the vehicle, which greatly impedes vision for ground maneuvers, just as it does with an airliner. Needless to say, the Multi 163 was one of hundreds of failed designs created by the global arms industry.
