Comparing: FV4202 (P) vs. T95E2

Experimental vehicle on the basis of the Centurion medium tank. Developed from 1956 through 1959. Never entered mass production. Technical innovations used in the FV4202 were later reapplied to the FV4201 Chieftain.

Development began in September 1954, with many components similar to an experimental prototype, the T96. A total of nine prototypes were manufactured, five of which had the 90-mm gun. Four of the vehicles were planned to have the turret of the T96 tank as well as its 105-mm gun. However, because the turrets of the T96 were not ready at that point, two of the new vehicles received turrets from the mass-produced M48A2 tank, equipped with the M41 rifled gun. These prototypes, designated T95E2, were manufactured from May through July 1957.
