The first one is unfortunately often cited as the "ultimate Leopard 2 upgrade" thanks to its designation (2A7+) and the fact that photographs of it are widely known and recognized. However, this vehicle was never intended as a functional upgrade. It was instead a technology demonstrator, built with the specific purpose of attracting the attention of prospective buyers. It featured numerous advanced systems and a partial armor kit covering the upper front plate and the sides. The philosophy behind this demonstrator was actually to implement as many advanced systems as possible without looking at their price or compatibility.
第一辆豹2A7+经常被当作“终极版豹2”，这得益于其代号（2A7+）和它的那些被人广泛熟知和认可的照片。但是，它从来就不是一个真正的升级。实际上这是KMW的一次技术展示，目的是吸引潜在买家的注意。它安装了大量的先进系统和一个覆盖首上和侧面的局部装甲套件。这种展示的要求是在豹2上安装尽可能多的先进系统，而忽视这样做的造价或兼容性。

↑没错，它是假的↑

Prospective buyers were never expected to select all of these upgrades at once, which would make the vehicle extremely expensive. Instead, Krauss-Maffei Wegmann would configure each offer based on individual customer wishes from the list of items present on this technology demonstrator. The vehicle was probably disassembled once the round of expos it was used for ended.
KMW从来没有期望买家们一次性选择全部升级，因为这会使每辆豹2的造价变得极为昂贵。KMW这么做的目的是列出豹2所有可选的升级配件，然后根据客户们的选择开出造价。所以在展览结束后，这辆车的结局将是被大卸八块。
