Historical information and technical details

The Panzerkampfwagen VI (P), commonly referred to as the Tiger (P), is a prototype German heavy tank developed by Porsche during World War II. This model was created in response to the German demand for a vehicle with exceptional firepower and improved armor protection. Although the Porsche version did not enter mass production (the competing Henschel design was ultimately chosen), about 90 Panzer VI (P) chassis were used to build Ferdinand/Elefant tank destroyers. The Tiger (P) was mainly used in 1942 and during the Battle of Kursk on the Eastern Front.
