With a crew of six members, it is powered by either a Daimler-Benz MB509 gasoline V12 engine with 1080 hp or a diesel MB517 12 cylinder engine producing 1200 hp. This formidable tank can reach speeds of up to 20 km/h (12 mph) and has a range of 60-190 km (37-118 miles), consuming 4200 liters of fuel in the process. Its armament includes a 128 mm KwK 44 L/55 gun, a 75mm KwK 44 L/36.5 gun, and a 7.92 mm MG-34 machine gun. The tank's armor varies between 50 to 250 mm (1.96-9.84 inches) for protection. Two prototypes were built in 1944.
