I had read that it was the Maybach automatic transmission which greatly improved tank manueverability.

Maybach was an auto manufacturer too, tho.

Still are, although the brand is now owned by Daimler:

Expect to pay almost half a million, almost $700K if you want it armored with all the options.

Maybach was the manufacturer of great classic cars before World War II. They also built engines for some of Count Zeppelin’s creations. I didn’t know they built Panzer tanks.
