The IS-6 is a Soviet tier 8 premium heavy tank.
Plans for this vehicle were drawn up in the construction bureau of the Chelyabinsk Kirov plant from December 1943 to the summer of 1944. Further development and the construction of the first prototype took place at the Uralmash plant. However, the vehicle had no advantages over the other heavy tank designs under consideration, and its armor was seen as inferior to the IS-4 (Object 701), so the IS-6 was not selected for production.

Historical Info
Sketches were drawn up by the construction bureau of Chelyabinsk Kirov Factory (CKZ) from the beginning of December 1943 to the summer of 1944.
The original plan was to construct a tank with the combat compartment and electric mechanical machinery located in the rear as per "Ferdinand's assault artillery". In the end, by the middle of 1944, two different tanks were put forward.
"Object 252" had the same transmission as the IS-3, but larger leg wheels were used in it's running gear, and it had no supporting wheel. The main feature of the "Object 252" was the usage of an electrical transmission. The setup of electric transmission was to simplify the tank's operation and increase it's maneuverability. In this case, the running gear was similar to that of IS-2.
In the summer of 1944 the first production models were rolled out by Uralmachzavod as СKZ was busy working on series of machines and "Object 701". The electric-mechanical transmission for the tank and also the working draft were also developed here.
However, in testing both tanks were inferior to the "Object 701" in armored defense, and they were out-gunned and out-manoeuvred.
IS-6 with its mechanical transmission had no upsides in comparison to other heavy tanks and "Object 253". The tank was scrapped due to it's huge mass, and low reliability of its electrical transmission.
The tank was never exported.
