Den VBTP-MR Guarani er en 6×6 pansret mandskabsvogn udviklet af Iveco og den brasilianske hær som en del af deres "URUTU-III" moderniseringsprogram, der har til formål at erstatte alle EE-11 Urutu inden 2015. 8×8-versionen af VBTP-MR er basen for Ivecos Superav pansrede mandskabsvogn. I programmet deltog også andre brasilianske virksomheder, såsom IMBEL (kommunikation), ELBIT (våben), Usiminas og Villares (udvikling af nationalt ballistisk konstruktionsstål).

General Characteristics
The Panther Ausführung G (Ausf G) was the final and most numerous production model of the German Panther medium tank. It was introduced in 1944 and served until the end of World War II. It featured several design simplifications and improvements over previous models, including increased side hull armor and a redesigned gun mantlet (the ‘chin’ mantlet) intended to eliminate the ‘shot trap’ that could deflect rounds down onto the thin hull roof. Though classified as a medium tank, its 45.5 tonne weight placed it closer to contemporary heavy tanks. It is often cited as one of the best tanks of the war for its combination of firepower, mobility, and sloped frontal protection. (Note: The provided image library does not contain a Panther tank image; a generic image is used for illustration.)

Armor and Mobility
- Armor (Hull Glacis Front): 80 mm at 55° slope (provides high effective thickness).
- Armor (Hull Lower Front): 60 mm at 55° slope.
- Armor (Hull Side): Increased to 50 mm (from 40 mm on previous models) at a steep angle.
- Armor (Turret Front): 110 mm at 11° slope.
- Armor (Gun Mantlet): 100 mm (round/wedge-shaped “chin” mantlet).
- Engine: Maybach HL 230 P30 V12 water-cooled petrol engine.
- Power Output: 515 kW (700 PS / 690 hp) at 3,000 rpm.
- Maximum Speed (Road): Approx. 46 km/h (29 mph).
- Operational Range (Road): Approx. 200–250 km (124–155 mi).
- Suspension: Dual torsion bar with interleaved road wheels.
Bevæbning
- Main Armament: One 7.5 cm KwK 42 L/70 tank gun.
- Ammunition Carried: 79–82 rounds.
- Penetration Capability: High velocity and long barrel gave it exceptional anti-tank capability, capable of penetrating most Allied armor at long ranges.
- Secondary Armament:
- One 7.92 mm MG 34 machine gun (coaxial with main gun).
- One 7.92 mm MG 34 machine gun (hull-mounted in a ball mount).
- Note: Later production batches of the Ausf G introduced the redesigned mantlet to mitigate a vulnerability known as the “shot trap.”
