-The Centauro I 105, developed in the 1980s by a consortium of Italian firms, addressed the Italian Army's need for a fast and maneuverable tank destroyer matching the firepower of their Leopard 1 MBTs. The Centauro, it featured a 105mm cannon on an eight-wheeled chassis. The final prototype was unveiled in 1986 and finally entered service in 1992 and saw action in numerous conflicts. Over 400 were built, with some variants serving alongside the original design to this day.

-It was introduced in [[Update 1.85 "Supersonic"]]. The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a fast and powerful light tank around its BR, although it lacks armour, it compensates this with the ability to change positions quickly, overwhelming your opponents. To deal with enemy tanks, it has a 105 mm OTO Melara cannon with good APFSDS ammunition, for target acquisition it has access to first generation thermal sight for the gunner, while this system is quite bad at long ranges, it is good enough and makes easier finding targets in the night, specially against enemies without any kind of thermal sight. The vehicle does suffer from a poor turret rotation speed, a mediocre reload rate, and a poor gun depression due to the turret placement.
