Badass Looking Amphibious Truck with Self-Inflating Tires
Designed to handle the harsh and unforgiving Russian environment,
SHERP is an amphibious truck with self-inflating tires that can go across land,
water and everything in between—including obstacles 70 cm (27.5 in) high.
Based out of Saint Petersburg, the first SHERP prototype was built in
2012 by Aleksey Garagashyan. Four years later, SHERP is now available for sale
to the public with based models starting just under US$50,000.
It weighs just 2,866 pounds dry, so while it might only have a 44.3 horsepower
1.5 liter Kubota V1505 four-cylinder diesel linked to a five-speed manual, it will still do
28 mph on land, or 3.7 mph in water, depending on the wind.
It will also crawl at up to 9.3 mph in first gear.
With its giant custom tires and the skid-steer,
it can also turn in its own length, which is 11 feet. And as long as the
trees ahead are at least 8.2 feet apart, this crazy two seater
will find a way through them.
