Historical information:

The Tiger (P) VK 4501(P) heavy tank was a German prototype developed by Porsche to meet the Third Reich’s requirements for a modern heavy tank during World War II. Although the Porsche version did not enter serial production (it lost out to the Henschel design), it was used as the basis for the famous Ferdinand/Elefant tank destroyers, which fought, among other places, at Kursk in 1943. The VK 4501(P) is mainly known for its participation in field trials and prototype presentations in the years 1942–1943 within the Third Reich.
