US army photo's	BARC (LARC 60) prototype e.t.c. At first the BARC had the steering house at the front. that makes sense driving on the road. But there is a good reason ships have the bridge at the rear. With the bridge in the front the feeling for the ship reduced. When an Amphib approaches the beach it is best not to go side ways and it is even better not to make collisions with other Amphibs or ships

	BAZ 5921 5922 (1984) I think this model was in production in 2002, it's the newer version of the BAZ 5937 5939. It is a dream of an Amphib but like in all dreams there is a drawback. Like the 5939 it is 2792 mm width and 2500 mm is the maximum width for civilian vehicles. The six-cylinder diesel from the Barnaul factory gives 300 hp. All wheels have independent torsion suspension. The rear wheels steer in opposite direction. Wheels have an airline to the tyre this allows the driver to vary the tyre pressure on the move.
