The P40, P43 and Celere Sahariano tanks represented the latest and most advanced attempts by Italian industry to equip its armoured forces with competitive vehicles in the final phase of the Second World War.

The P40, classified as “heavy” despite its 26 tonnes (well below Allied standards), was the first real attempt to equip the Italian Army with a tank capable of competing with the Sherman and Panzer IV.
