definition by wikipedia
armoured car= A military armored car is a type of armored fighting vehicle having wheels (from four to eight large off-road wheels) instead of tracks, and usually light armor. Armored cars are typically less expensive and have superior speed and range compared to tracked military vehicles. Most are not intended for heavy fighting; their normal use is for reconnaissance, command, control, and communications. Others use the armored-car chassis as a way to move (or tow) various long-range rocket, missile, or mortar batteries through dangerous areas while protecting the safety of the crew. But some armored cars are intended to enter close combat, often accompanying convoys to protect soft-skinned vehicles. They usually mount a machine gun, autocannon, or small tank gun.
