Russians get all the best toys.

ATV taken to a new level.  Vodka Engineering indeed.

But I suspect Nanny Sam would frown on such as "unsafe" and block importation.

More info on the Sherp ATV.

Quote
The Russian vehicle starts at a hefty $65,000, which will get you a 1.5-liter, 44-horsepower four-banger diesel and a five-speed manual transmission. It's certainly not fast -- the Sherp manages 28 mph on land and 3.7 mph in water -- but it can reach those speeds in just about any conditions mother nature can throw at it. The base price also includes a soft top tent, halogen headlights, a 15.3-gallon fuel tank, and a few analog devices on the dash. Interested parties can tack on another $5,000 for the "Kung" version, which has a hard top and a slightly cozier cabin.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

I guess if that vehicle hits a wall, will it just climb up, fall over on its back, roll over, and go the other direction.

Neat design.  I wonder how much the tires cost.

Pretty cool but they were brave going out on ice. My cousin and I once broke through ice in an amphib argo and we couldn't break enough ice to get back to shore and couldn't climb it back onto the ice. we had to be "rescued".
