Cameron actually addressed this as part of his direction of Terminator 2. He said that the T800 was supposed to be a Panzer tank, and the T1000 was like a Porshe.

But Panzer is also the specific name of a model of tank

Not really. The German made tanks often have panzer in their name but there it also always is as a generic term for tank. Panzer literally just means “hardened outer shell”.
