Porsche's FAILED Tiger Tank - VK 45.01 (P)

One of the greatest tanks of the Second World War was the Tiger Tank. During the conflict it developed an incredibly feared reputation and the allies became incredibly worried about facing a Tiger I. The Tiger Tank has gone down in history as one of the most famous vehicles too, however when it was designed it took a long time to come into production. Originally there were two main manufacturers who would design the tank, Henschel and Porsche.

The Henschel design would be the one that was taken forward and made into the incredible tank, however the Porsche design initially was favoured by Hitler. The Tank however was plagued with mechanical issues especially with the engine and transmission. The vehicle named, VK 45.01 P would go up against Henschel's design, however ultimately lost out. The issue though was the fact that Porsche still had a huge number of chassis' that they were working on. These then became the Ferdinand/Elefant Tank Destroyer.

Join us today as we look at Porsche's FAILED Tiger Tank, the VK 45.01 P.
