The "Ferdinand-Elefant" assault tank was derived directly from the prototype of the VK 4501(P) heavy tank, which was outperformed in the rivalry for a new type of heavy tank for the German army. The winner of the contest was the VK 4501(H) prototype, which later became the "Tiger" Sd.Kfz.181 heavy tank, undoubtedly the best-known German tank.
