The vehicle was powered by FIAT-SPA '15TB M42' petrol powerplant producing 192 HP which could drive the vehicle on roads at up to 22 mph with a range of about 112 miles before refuelling. Its cross country performance was good providing a max speed of about 12 mph and a range of about 44 miles.
Its main armament consisted of an Cannone contracarro da 105/25 which could penetrate 87 mm of flat plate at 200 metres
The Semovente 105/25 was a self propelled gun based on a widened M15/42 chassis.
The vehicle was powered by a Fiat diesel engine of 192hp the front drive sprockets took the track under eight road wheels on two bogies, round the rear idler and back via three return rollers. | |

Hit probability is based on a static 2 x 2.4 metre panel at 0 degrees(vertical) at the range specified.
The data that has been used to create these records has come from Wikipedia, The Lone Sentry, The Bundes Archive
and numerous books and websites that have provided the detailed information that has not been available anywhere else. The
information we use to calculate the penetration tables, flight times and the hit probability comes from the Gun Calibre,
the Shell Mass(Kg) and the muzzle velocity, plus range reductions to allow for gravity and wind resistance. This calculation
originally came from a pre-war Krupp calculation which has been modified, and seems to fit the actual test results.
