FV180 CET (Combat Engineer
Tractor) (Royal Ordnance - Great Britain)
This is essentially a large, armoured
Excavator/Bulldozer of highly unusual
shape, with a full amphibious capability, courtesy of water jets and
floatation bags, one of which is carried in the bucket. It must be one
of
the only pieces of amphibious earth-moving equipment in existence,
thereby
allowing you to fulfil two childhood ambitions at once! ;-)
It has another piece of neat gear to make the amateur amphibian green
with
envy: a rocket-propelled ground anchor which it can use to pull itself
out
of trouble/up steep exit-banks.

Giat AMX-10RC (France)
A large 6 wheeled armoured car with a big tank gun.
The AMX 10 RC has hydro pneumatic suspension, with a high and variable
ground clearance.
notable because:
a) it must be one of the most heavily armed amphibians around
b) it has tank-style skid steering,
and could, therefore, be regarded at the ultimate "6x6 ATV" ;-)

Gibbs Technologies (Aquada)

(56 km/h) on water and 100 mph (160 km/h) on the road.
The time of development was 7 year;
About 60 where build.

Gibbs Technologies Quadski
Quadski is the third demonstration of Gibbs’ HSA technology following
the successes of the Aquada and the Humdinga. It is capable of
travelling up to 50 mph (72 kph) on land and water and makes the
transition at the flick of a switch.
Comment from there web site:
Consumers will love the fun of driving a Quadski on land one
minute and then head straight into the sea or river the next. But there
is a very serious side to Quadski as well: emergency services and aid
workers will be able to reach areas and people no two or four wheel
drive vehicle could reach.

The Golf was not amphibious on its own, it just floated on the
pontoons.
