In the summer of 1943, the need for gun mounted on an RSO that could fire without having to remove the gun from the chassis was seen. A version made with a low silhouette cab (with only lower body protection for the driver and co-driver), along with collapsible sides on the cargo deck, was designed to carry a 75 mm (2.95 in) Pak 40/4 gun that could traverse 360⁰. When Hitler was shown this design, he ordered that it be put on high priority for production, as he saw in it an excellent balance of mobility, firepower and economics, which would provide an excellent tank hunter to the front.
On October 1st 1943, a prototype was presented to Hitler, after which production plans to produce 400 a month was put in place, despite there being no combat trials yet. However, very few were ever made. It is unknown how many of this RSO variant were produced, but it is generally believed to be less than 100.
