Extreme AMPHIBIOUS Russian offroad vehicle: Aton-Impulse VIKING-2992
4x4xAMPHIBIOUS, VIKING combines the best of extreme off-road with amphibious capability. The ATON IMPULSE VIKING-2992 is a unique special purpose vehicle, ideal for heavy industry, exploration, arctic use, flood-relief, NGOs, rescue and emergency services. VIKING is the only amphibious off-road vehicle in the world to have passed through certification to meet UN/ECE regulations for unrestricted ON-ROAD USE. VIKING’s world-leading amphibious capabilities are based around its purpose-designed flotation construction, centrally mounted engine and powerful water-jet propulsion enable it to ford open water at speeds of up to 15 km/h. Off-road, VIKING is overwhelmingly superior to comparable amphibians, with cross-country ability akin to tracked vehicles. High maneuverability, turn-over resistance and endurance provide safety and comfort in remote or hazardous areas. With a curb weight of only 1.46 tonnes, riding on giant 1300x600x533 tires, VIKING’s exceptionally low ground pressure enables to “float” on soft snow surfaces and avoids damage to sensitive environments. VIKING has independent pneumatic front and rear wheel suspension with adjustable clearance and a tire air-pressure adjustment system operable from the cab while driving the vehicle. VIKING’s top speed on-road is 50 mph at 16.8 mpg; off-road at 11.8 mpg. On-road speed is limited by the tires (cost 0 each) which are rated to 50 mph. ATON IMPULSE is bringing out new custom tires rated to 62 mph, as well as bullet …

@GeorgeA090 Those tires are for flotation, ground clearance and tire size don’t always come in pairs, either. Those tires help float and drive on water, but the main purpose of those tires is to provide a wide, soft footprint for the vehicle on soft earth – mud, sand, etc,. It prevents the tires from sinking into the soft ground, causing it to get stuck. Those tires “float,” keeping the vehicle moving in a variety of terrain. It’ll go where others can’t.

that would be faster on water if there were two big jets under the car..

August 23rd, 2010 at 8:34 pm
@PJHunterTJ -Sure the foot of clearance is good.. But with the size of the tires I just think it could of been a tad higher.. But I guess that’s just my opinion =] ..I’m sure it’s that hight for a reason haha.
