Product Description
The Panzerkampfwagen VII Lowe (Lion) was a design for a Super Heavy Tank created by Krupp for the Nazi German government during World War II. The project never left the drawing board, and was dropped in late 1942 in favor of the Panzer VIII Maus.
The Lowe was designed in two variants:
Leichter Lowe crew of five, 1000-hp engine, weight of 76 tons, 100mm frontal armor, rear-mounted turret, 105 mm L/70 high velocity gun and a coaxial machine gun, top speed 27 km/h.
Schwerer Lowe crew of five, 1000-hp engine, weight of 90 tons, 120mm frontal armor, center-mounted turret, 105 mm L/70 high velocity gun and a coaxial machine gun, top speed 23 km/h.
When shown the designs, Adolf Hitler ordered the Leichter Lowe dropped and the Schwerer Lowe re-designed with a 150mm main gun, 140mm frontal armor, and a top speed of 30 km/h. No prototype of either design was ever built. Some elements of the Schwerer Lowe design were used in the Tiger II.
