Actually, Leopard 2 and Challenger 2 are not that different in terms of their weights. It is the engine power makes the difference. While Leopard 2 weights 62.3t with 1500hp engine (24.2 hp/ton) produces 72 km/h of max speed, Chally 2 weights 62.5t with 1200 hp engine (19.2 hp/ton) produces only 59.2 km/h of max speed.
Here are the links to Wikipedia of the 2 tanks.

For interes, the link below is for US M1 Abrams.
