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...
M41 23.5t, 500hp, 45kph
Quoted
-- VK 20 24t, 450hp, 50-56kph, 18.75hp/t
-- Fiat M16/43 16t, 275hp, 55kph 17.2hp/t
-- M24 Chaffee 18.4t, 220hp, 56kph 11.95hp/t
-- AMX-13 14.5t, 250hp, 60kph 17.24hp/t

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.
