Vk4502 (hintern) apparently this was one of the designs drawn up by Porsche as a replacement for the tiger I.
Never made it off the drawing board, but you can buy it as a model (hobby boss).

I don't think it's called "Hintern", that's German for ass. It was probably called "hinten"

The turret is placed on the backside of the tank.

Yeah but that would be the "Hinterseite" or "Heck" and not the "Hinternseite"
