The EBR is an 8x8 wheeled reconnaissance vehicle based on the previous Panhard AM 40 P/Model 201, a light armored car born before the Second World War, but remained only at prototype level. After the war the new contest for a postwar armored car saw the Panhard proposal as winner against two other French firms.
In the early 1960s, the decision was taken to rebore the SA 49 to the internal dimensions of the D 921A 90 mm low-pressure rifled gun (CN 90 F1) of the AML-90, allowing the retroffited EBR to also use the powerful OCC 90 EMP Mle 61 fin-stabilized HEAT shell fired at a muzzle velocity of 750 m/s (2,500 ft/s).

French cold-war era Armoured personnel carrier The EBR ETT was a troop transport variant of Panhard’s EBR armoured car and it used many identical components. Testing of the two prototypes began in 1956 but the type was ultimately not used by France, although 28 were sold to Portugal, which is presumably where this example came from.

The Panhard AML (automitrailleuse légère, or "light armoured car") [3] is an armoured car with reconnaissance capability. [8] Designed by Panhard on a lightly armoured 4×4 chassis, it weighs an estimated 5.5 tonnes, and is thus suitable for airborne deployment. [9]
The Panhard AM 40 P was also planned to replace the Panhard 178. [1] [5] However, due to the Fall of France, no vehicle was built except the prototype. The prototype was shipped to Morocco and its fate remains unknown. [2] [3] After the end of World War II, elements of the Panhard AM 40 P would be used in the design of the Panhard EBR.
Turret of Panhard EBR. Whilst the oscillating turret was unsuccessful for the heavy tank, it proved more successful in allowing light tanks and armored cars to carry an unusually heavy main gun of 90 mm. In French doctrine, light reconnaissance vehicles were heavily armed and expected to also fulfill a role in defending the flanks of a main force.
