I seem to recall an entry in George Forty's World War II Tanks, stating that it was a multi-turret design of the mid-30's, similar to the British Independent and the Russian T-28. IIRC, only a small number were built, and most of them saw only saw service in Norway in 1940.

Got it.

"Neubaufahrzeug"

roughly translated as "newly constructed vehicle".

IIRC, it was a deceptive description to hide Germans plan for building tanks.

Update

Here's a link with some pics:
