article about typer-99 from november 2009 issue of DIIC.
according to the article the different between type-98 and type-99 was cost. type-98 cost 3 million yuan to build.due to her high cost ,only number were built,while type -99 cost only 1.6 million yuan.
type-99 abandone type-98 hybrid torsion bar/hydropnuemutic suspensioninstead choose all torsion bar suspension to cut cost.
it also use COTS uncooled TIS for both gunner and commander,and modified german 1500 diesel engine.

That bucket is a pretty good collection of all the photos that may be associated with the new mbt.

Now, what is this photo showing and why now? We haven't had a photo about the new mbt in awhile. Did it just pass some milestone or is this something that was tried and failed?

The test rig looks like it is used to simulate movement of the chassis to test the stabilization system.

One potentially interesting thing about this photo is that you don't see the autoloader and associated things under the turret. They are either not fitted for the tests or the autoloader is not the carousel type. I would not jump to conclusions, though.
