One rather interesting what-if found so far that is based on a Leopard 2A6 with no less than three main guns :)

that's based on a photoshopped photo that went the rounds many years ago (1999 I think)

Could you imagine that turret fitted to a warship, the way the Germans (?) did when they trialed (iirc) the PzH 2000 turret?

I already was!
Imagine an auto  loader hoists and a decent sized magazine.  Does anyone know the differences in size, shape and weight of a 120mm tank gun verses a 127mm naval gun? The gun not the turret that is.

Looks like it also got a couple of additional roadwheels. 

The Fuchs with Luchs turret and the 8x8 Fuchs with Roland tturret next to it are also pretty cool.
I'm not 100% sure the Fuchs with Luchs turret is actually a whif. I think there was at least a trials vehicle or mock-up of a Fuchs with a 20mm turret, although I'm not sure whether it was a Luchs turret.
