The EE-13 Víbora (Portuguese: Viper) is a Brazilian armored car derived from the American M1117 Armored Security Vehicle; the differences are in the armament and the fact that the Víbora's wheels and centerline are better protected against landmines. The Brazilian defense company Engesa began production of the vehicle in late 2007.
