At the beginning of 1937, the Weapon Testing Office (Wa Prüf 6) of the German Army's Ordnance Office (Heereswaffenamt) contracted with Henschel & Son (chassis) and Krupp (turret) for a 30-tonne (29.5-long-ton; 33.1-short-ton) heavy breakthrough (Durchbruchswagen) tank with 50-millimetre (2 in) armor on the front and sides of the hull and the turret.
The engine for the original 30-ton Panther project was the Maybach HL210 P30, [171] while the 45-ton specification for the Tiger received the HL210 P45. [167] The main visible difference was the arrangement of the coolant ducts exiting the cylinder heads, since the Panther and Tiger had different flows through their radiators.
