The 44MTAS tank was designed both as a main battle tank and tank destroyer equpped with a75mmgun. The design was preferred over having to develop a turretless tank destroyer armed with an88mmgun. Developed in 1943, it was intended to replace the inferior Hungarian40MTuran and and43mZrinyi. Mass production would have stared in 1945 but the factory and prototype were destroyed in 1944.

The 44M Tas was a prototype Hungarian tank, often classified as a heavy tank, from the Second World War. The only completed prototype of the vehicle was made in 1944, but the car never entered mass production. The drive was to be provided by duplicate Manfred Weiss V-8H engines with a total power of 520 HP. The main armament was to be the German 75mm KwK 42 L / 70 gun. The secondary armament consists of two 8mm 34/40 AM machine guns.

The 44M Tas was created as a vehicle clearly modeled on the German PzKpfw. V Panther, but on the one hand, they tried to preserve the qualities of this vehicle (especially the great main armament), and on the other hand, reduce production costs as much as possible. The Hungarian side also tried to acquire Maybach HL230 engines as a power unit, but in the face of German opposition, it was decided to use a duplicate engine of its own production - the same one that was used in the 40M Turan I. - probably - it would be less mobile than its opponents. However, this is only a guess. As a result of the Allied air raids, the new car never entered production, remaining only in the prototype stage.
