Type 87 Kommandeurwagen
https://ww2-history.fandom.com/wiki/Type_87_Kommandeurwagen

The Volkswagen Type 87 Kommandeurwagen, sometimes listed as the Type 877 Kommandeurwagen, was a four-wheel drive variant of the Type 82 Kübelwagen mounted with the body of a Volkswagen Type 1 "Beetle".[1] [2] It was used as a command car by Germany during World War 2..................

The Type 1 body had widened fenders to accommodate the larger "Kronprinz" tires that were equipped for off-road purposes. Due to the increased height created by these tires, running boards were mounted to aid in entry.[3].............

The combination of large off-road tires, four-wheel drive, and powerful engine meant the Kommandeurwagen was not the easiest vehicle to control.[2] But, it was capable of clearing nearly any obstacle. ................

Also installed was an infa-red lamp, which was used in-lieu of standard electric lights to avoid detection by enemy aircraft.[2]...........

Around 669 Kommandeurwagens were produced during the war, seeing plentiful action with officers of all branches of the Wehrmacht on all fronts, mainly in the North African Campaign.[2].................

^That Lisa is pretty cool like the Icon.
But even if those canards were fully-rotating elevators, it would still be super scary landing in the heavy chop.
(ie the wrong angle at contact and that thing instantly becomes a fast submarine.)
