In a bid to augment the Panzer IV's firepower, an attempt was made to mate a Schmalturm turret — carrying the longer 75 mm (2.95 in) L/70 tank gun from the developing Panther Ausf.

The suspension was a new design: six semi-detached road wheels per side, 660mm in diameter and mounted in pairs on double-bogies using leaf spring suspension. While these road wheels were larger than those of the production Panzer III or Panzer IV, the Panzer IV used a similar double-bogie leaf spring suspension design.
