The Centmobile is a military vehicle produced at 1 cent only, hence the name. Although it was produced cheaply, it looks and handles competent despite its setbacks, which was a 50HP engine. It was successful in every war that a general told a newspaper that "this vehicle makes the enemy too busy laughing, they did not realize their army surrendered". Its rockets are enough to blow a bridge down. See it to believe it.

@SamuelJamesCastor, looks pretty convincing, since armor equals more cost but that does not mean it’s cheap. Putting scraps together into one clumped car does not equal an impossibly low cost, since you have to know what the engines do, the mechanisms of a car, and how to assemble such into one vehicle, which equals to more cost. No, you cannot just scavenge and put leftover rockets into a car that easily; nor can you make them last less than a cent.
@Bellcat Only the body is bulletproof. Shoot either the fuel tank or the cockpit and you might cripple the Centmobile.
@Bellcat I think the reason why it's successful in war is due to their large numbers, plus the story that due to its odd design, the enemy laughed so long and hard. As for how they built the weapons, they used the stuff you will always find in scrapyards.
It is often impossible to produce a vehicle, especially this one, with just a cent, especially the rockets need expensive materials that can drive the production cost up. One of the cheapest cars, the Tata Nano has a launch price of just ₹1,00,000 (US$2,500) in 10 January 2008. Are you saying the success of the centmobile is because of the sheer numbers of this model being produced? An attack plane with rapid fire guns and a whole pack of missiles has the potential to eradicate squads of the centmobile.
