The US fastest tank was the Chaffe and Stuart tanks. Unfortunately they were also the lightest. The Chaffe was Equally fast as the Stuart but had better armor and the firepower of a sherman. The Germans had the Panzer III as their fastest tank but the Idiot Hitler was more comfertable using Panthers and tigers: heavier tanks but rather slower. The British was The Cruiser or Crusader as a more common name. The Itallians were Carro Veloces But they were ultra light and more the Tankette type than tanks. These were not threats even to light tanks, but were lethal to Infantry. Hope this helps :)

SteveI think the best Tank in the world without no doubt is the Abraham.
why the Abraham not the Leopard a2(German main battle tank) nor the British (the Challenger 2) although these tanks ownz the Abraham easily face to face at the battlefield is becasue the mass USA Tank production.........this how the allies defeated Germany in ww2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That is a very reasonable answer and very true but, as you said, the Leopard and Challenger are far superior.
after researching all the MAIN BATTLE TANKS (MBT) of the world, the fastest one is the TAM ( Tanque Argentino Mediano) of the Argentine Army. it is based on the German Marder Infantry fighting vehicle. the TAM has a reported top speed of 75 kh/m (47 mph), on road. the TAM has a light weight weight when compared to other country's MBT's, 30.5 tonnes while most are 45-68 tonnes. the Peoples Republic of China's Type 99 MBT is claimed to reach 80kh/m (49.7 mph). as with most of China's claim on things, they are highly over EXAGGERATED. the Type99 uses a copy of a German v-12 diesel engine in the 1450 HP range. it is reported the Chinese have developed a 2100HP diesel engine for the new Type99KM, which would increase the top speed of the tank. the Chinese have a VERY poor track record for their engine reliability. the king of all around tanks has to be Germany's Leopard 2 MBT. many of the Leopard 2's components are used by other country's on their tanks, including the US Abraham M1, France's AMX-56 Leclerc and several others. most tank's are in the 40-45mph range.
