The VK 4502 (P) was a prototype German heavy tank from the Second World War. The first prototypes of the vehicle appeared in 1942, but the car did not enter serial production. The drive was provided by two Porsche 101 engines with 670 hp. It was armed with a single 88mm KwK 36 L / 56 gun and two 7.92mm MG34 machine guns.

The VK 4502 (P) was developed as a response from Porsche to the Wehrmacht's demand for a new heavy tank to replace or complement the Tiger I line. The designer Ferdinand Porsche in the VK 4502 (P) focused on the thickest possible armor and the use of an effective weapon to combat the enemy's carts. Two VK 4502 (P) models were also built: the first with a turret located in the central part of the hull (Ausf. A designation) and with a turret in the rear part of the car (Ausf. B). However, the VK 4502 (P) failed to compete with the Henschel design due to its failure rate and anticipated higher production costs. Despite further attempts to develop the design, it did not enter serial production.
