• Historic back ground
  In 1941, Porsche created a model tank which incorporated radical features including a gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain. In 1943, the tank ended up being changed to the Ferdinand tank destroyer armed with an 8.8cm PaK 43 L/71 gun housed in a large box-shaped superstructure and 90 devices had been produced. Through the Battle of Kursk, they demonstrated superior anti-armor capability to knock out T-34 and KV-1 tanks at long range, however their slow speed and unreliability led to numerous being immobilized by technical problems. In 1944, 50 surviving Ferdinands got changes, such as the addition of a device weapon, a commander's cupola, and had been re-designated with the name Elefant. The Elefant saw combat in the Italian and Russian fronts, plus some fought until the really end of WWII throughout the Battle of Berlin.
