The
E-100 was an experimental German WWII super heavy tank. The only
prototype hull of this tank was built in 1943 or 1944. The car never
entered mass production. The E-100 was to be powered by a single engine Maybach HL 230 P30 or Maybach HL 234 with 700 hp and 800 hp respectively. It was probably armed with a 128mm KwK 44 L / 55 gun and 2 machine guns MG34 cal. 7.92 mm.
Tank prototype
The E-100 was created as part of the Entwicklungsserie program, a
program for the development of German armor, which was to lead to a
standardized design of a series of six tanks of different weights, but
using as many common components as possible. The E-100 tank in this
project was to be the heaviest tank, based on the chassis of the Pz.Kpfw
VI Tiger II Ausf. B. The emphasis was on the strongest possible main
armament and powerful armor - especially at the front of the turret and
hull. However, the project, despite its far-reaching advancement, was
abandoned in 1944, and the E-100 never entered mass production.
