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.
More info about the 5921 / 5922 is to be found (in
Russian) at:
