Question: Will 380hp suffice to run that vehicle that fast? It's not really heavy weight, but 380hp isn't that much either. Just curious...

According to Reliable Wikipedia, the M41 Walker Bulldog actually has a speed of 45 mph... 72kph.

Since you noted the M41, though, another 1950s tank, the AMX-13/75, also made 60kph with a 250hp engine. Further, the M18 Hellcat, which has a lot of similarities with the the Lightpanzer design above, has 400hp on a 17.7t design, with a top speed of 88kph.

Walter doesn't cite the P/W Ratio with the tanks he listed, but it's a better indicator of how fast a tank might be.

Looks like a rival for the FV301 on the export market.
I think this would also be a good buy for someone like Turkey.
