The Chieftain 900 by Vickers was a privately developed, experimental version of the Chieftain, designed in the early 1980s for export. It included a new turret, better composite armor and a more powerful 900hp engine (hence the name). While it wasn't successful, some of its elements were used in the development of the Challenger MBT.
