As for a vehicle designed for much intensive combat, I was thinking the Tumbler from Batman Begins. Don't really have a specific reason for that choice, but I once visualized Amelia, before her transformation, in the place of Bruce Wayne, talking to Lucius Fox about supplies:
Amelia approaches Lucius Fox.
Fox: Well, what is it today? More spelunking?
Amelia: No, today is base jumping.
Fox: Base jumping? Is that like parachuting?
Amelia: Kind of. Do you have any lightweight fabrics?
Fox: You know, I got just the thing.
Fox opens a box and pulls out some cloth.
Fox: It's called memory cloth. Notice anything?
Amelia shrugs.
Fox puts on an electrified glove.
Fox: Regularly flexible, but put a current through it...molecules realign, becomes rigid.
Amelia: What kind of shapes can you make?
Fox: Can be tailored to fit any structure based on a rigid skeleton.
Amelia: Too expensive for the Army?
Fox: Well, I don't think they've tried to market it to the billionare spelunking, base-jumping crowd.
Amelia: Mr. Fox, if you're uncomfortable...
Fox: Miss Amelia, whatever you don't want me to know, when I'm asked, I don't have to lie. But don't think of me as an idiot.
Amelia: Fair enough. (Eyes the Tumbler in the corner) What's that?
Fox: Oh, the Tumbler? Oh, you wouldn't be interested in that.
Later...
Amelia and Fox are taking the Tumbler for a test drive.
Fox: She was built as a bridging vehicle. During combat, two of these would jump over a river, towing cables. And over here on the throttle, you flip that open, and throttle up, this'll boost you into a rampless jump.
Amelia absentmindedly fires the afterburner. The Tumbler starts racing toward the wall.
Fox: Not now! Not now, ma'am.
Fox turns off the afterburner and brings the Tumbler back under control.
Fox: Of course, we couldn't get the bridge to work, but this baby does just fine.
Amelia brings the Tumbler to a dramatic stop.
Fox: So what do you think?
Amelia smiles and says, "Does it come in black?"
Fox quickly shuts off the afterburner.
