A Vickers prototype from 1988, it uses an SP-70 turret on a new hull with torsion bar suspension and the Perkins Condor V8 engine found on the Warrior. This vehicle competed with and eventually lost to the AS-90.

Wheels also seem different … ?
Still no info whether the hull will be the SuperAV, Centauro II or a mix of it. Plus it doesn’t just retain Janus, it also will be fitted with LOTHAR which is the same sight found on the C2 and Centauro II, third gen thermals. As the other guy said, yeah the engine is also getting an upgrade, aside from the X-GUN and the changes to the driveline and suspension system.

Unrelated but the ZTZ99A is one good looking tank, genuinely one of the best modern MBT’s when it comes to looks.
