Description
The PARS is a wheeled armoured personnel carrier family with 6×6, and 8×8 versions, developed, designed and manufactured by FNSS Defence Company of Turkey. With the PARS, FNSS has developed a new generation of Wheeled Armored Combat Vehicles in 6x6 and 8x8 configurations with a special emphasis on mobility, protection, payload and growth potential. FNSS has named the vehicle PARS, which in Turkish means Leopard. PARS is designed not only to have a high level of ballistic and mine resistance, but also carry a variety of weapon stations and provide a high internal volume, which allows for a full complement of infantry soldiers with all of their equipment. To allow for Pars to be rapidly re-configured for different operational roles, all members of the Pars family have a removable roof so that it can be quickly converted for a wide range of specialist roles. The PARS 6 × 6 has a crew of two and can carry six fully equipped infantrymen at the rear. The PARS 6x6 is air transportable by military transport aircraft C-130, A400M, C-17 or C-5.
 
Variants
- PARS 8x8: Same vehicle but with a 8x8 chassis and a stretched hull. The vehicle can carry eight fully equipped infantrymen at the rear.

Armament
The PARS 6x6 can be fitted with a full range of weapons systems including manual ring mount machine gun station or remote weapon station with light or medium caliber weapons. Such equipment is used on modern military vehicles, as it allows a gunner to remain in the relative protection of the vehicle. The PARS can be also equipped with one or two man turret armed with 25mm automatic cannon.
Design and protection
The hull of the PARS 6x6 consists of a composite aluminium and steel armour that provides a protection for the crew and infantry against firing of small arms 7.62 mm armour-piercing attack through a full 360°. The vehicle is also protected against mines and IEDs threats. In option, the PARS can be fitted with an appliqué armour package to increase protection. The driver and commander are seated at the front of the vehicle. A unique feature is that the vehicle commander and driver sit side-by-side. Each has a single-piece roof hatch that opens to the side, three day periscope at the front and one to each side. Two more day periscopes are mounted to each rear roof side of the troop's compartment. A single door is mounted on the right side of the hull. Troops normally enter and leave the vehicle via a large hydraulic ramp at the rear of the hull. The seating arrangement depends on the role but the troops are normally seated on individual seats down each side of the hull facing inwards. All shock-absorbing seats are fitted with five-point seatbelts as standard.
Mobility
The PARS 6x6 is motorized with a EURO 3 Diesel engine with a power of 482 hp. coupled to a fully automatic transmission with 6 forward and 1 reverse gears. An important feature of PARS is its very high mobility that comes from its newly developed active pneumatic independent suspension system. The vehicles are equipped with independent suspension at all wheel stations, providing commonality between each station, thereby reducing logistics and improving life-cycle costs. PARS's centralized engine location, made possible by the suspension design, provides for a very adequate passage to and from the rear of the vehicle.
Accessories
For enhanced visibility, there are two thermal cameras and two optical cameras at the front and rear. Images from the front and rear thermal and CCD (Charged Coupled Device) cameras can be displayed on the flat-panel displays for improved situational awareness. The PARS is fully amphibious propelled in the water at a maximum speed of 8 km/h by two water jets mounted on each side at the bottom rear of the hull. Standard equipment of the PARS 6x6 includes anti-lock braking system (ABS), central tire inflation (CTI) and run flat tire inserts, self-recovery winch, and integrated survivability suite.
