Top 10 best tanks in the world

Found the specs of the MTU MB 873 on the Leopards and the Honeywell AGT1500C used in the Abrams but havent been able to locate anything on the Perkins Condor MV12 used in Challengers.

The diesel apparently has higher peak performance and lower fuel consumption, but the torque curve of the turbine is more a straight line than a curve. Then again, fuel consumption is a big thing for the logistics side of things.
Anyway this thread gave me a good excuse to try to look up some pointless details, but if anyone could find more info on the perkins engine would appreaciate it.
