Rheinmetall Lynx is an IFV, not a light tank..

It seems the brand new Rheinmetall vehicle is an IFV based on Marder Hull and Lance turret.

I was expecting a light tank, but it seems the configuration displayed is Infantry Fighting Vehicle...

Rheinmetall's New Light Tank

Rheinmetall introduces a New 
Light Tank
in Upcoming Eurosatory


It seems Rheinmetall is revealing a new light tank design in Eurosatory 2016 (Starting June 13th).

The light tank is probably to be called Lynx.

Now I am going to come up with some wild guesses...

Look at the images below that show a Marder IFV. The same colored arrows shows the similarities between a Marder and this Lynx vehicle. 


So I think the Lynx might be based on a Marder hull... But it might also be my imagination..
