	GAMA-GOAT A 6x6 Amphibious vehicle with in this case a radio container. The M561 1.25 ton High Mobility Cargo Truck was built during the late 1960's and into the 1970's by the Consolidated Diesel Electric Company otherwise known as CONDEC. It was nicknamed the Gama Goat, "Gama" from the name of the inventor of it's powered articulated joint Roger Gamaunt and "Goat" from it's mountain goat like off-road abilities.

	GAZ - 011 (1951) After the official tests in 1953, the vehicle was put on the assembly line in Gorkovsky auto-mobile factory and made from parts of the GAZ 67B as the GAZ-011. To confuse things it was also called NAMI-011 or light floating vehicle. And the testing can be also in 1949! Engine:4 cylinder 3285 cc 54 hp Speed land: 60 km/h Fuel consumption: 15 L / 100 km Crew: 4 In 1953 the new GAZ-69 replaced the GAZ-67B. There where no more GAZ-67 parts and the production of the GAZ-011 was stopped after only 68 vehicles The new amphibious GAZ-46 was designed from GAZ-69 parts and production was started in 1953. The GAZ-011 was still in military use in 1961. http://www.automotomuseum.vl.ru has a GAZ-011 on display.

Both GAZ-62P models are lost in time. Much info came from Maclou from France
	GAZ BAD-2 (1932) Soviet amphibious Armoured car BAD-2 was built by Izhora factory (Leningrad). The abbreviation "BAD" translates from Russian to “Armoured Motor Water Car”. BAD-2 was based on “Ford-Timken” 6x4 chassis and was one of the first universal armoured cars in the world. It was a BA-10 with a boat shape, it could swim with the help of 2 propellers. Removable steel caterpillars for the 2nd and 3rd axles for off-road use and steel wheels for railway use were an option. The BAD-2 had a radio transmitter, and a bilge pump. In 1933 a BAD-2 swam across the 1200 meter wide Neva river during the Leningrad military parade and impressed the members of the parade. Engine: 40 hp Length: 5850 width: 2050 height: 2150 mm Weight 4600 kg Speed land: 70 railway: 90 water: 6 km/h Range 120 km It was a 4x6, the 2 rear axles ware driven Crew: 4 men Water propulsion: 2 bronze propellers
	GAZ PB-4 (1933) A more reliable Soviet amphibious armoured car PB-4 PB-4 means “Plavajushi Broneavtomobil” (floating armoured car). It was again based on the “Ford-Timken” 6x4 chassis. Removable steel caterpillars for off-road use on the 2nd and 3rd axles were an option. PB-4 was successful, but it's engine power and cross-country ability (marshland) was insufficient. It stayed afloat because it had two side pontoons, filed with cork. Engine cooling in the water was by a heat exchanger under the water line. Engine: 40 hp Length: 5310 width:1980 height: 2250 mm Ground clearance: 254 mm Weight: 5280 kg Speed land 50 water: 4 km/h Range: 140-200 km Crew: 4 Water propulsion: propeller It was a 4x6, the 2 rear axles ware driven Between 1933 and 1934 a small series was produced.
	GAZ PB-7 (1936) The lightweight and more manoeuvrable PB-7 modification was built as small series. It was based on the GAZ-AAA chassis and had a hull without the side pontoons. Engine: 50 hp Length: 5310 width:1980 height: 2250 mm Ground clearance: 254 mm Weight: 5280 kg Speed land 60 water: 5 km/h Range: 140-200 km Crew: 3 Water propulsion: propeller It was a 4x6, the 2 rear axles ware driven The Soviet army had at that time many amphibious light tanks T-37A and T-38. There for bulky amphibious armoured cars with insufficient cross-country ability had limited use and where not numerous produced.

	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, there fore, be regarded at the ultimate "6x6 ATV" ;-) The info was send in by Harold Smith.
	Gibbs Technologies (Aquada) (2003) First known as the NOVA I in 2001 It has retractable wheels and a water jet propulsion system. This car performs as a speedboat.

Water propulsion: 2 waterjet drives Wheels and tires 275/80R20 MPT Crew: 3  and passengers 12 www.gibbstech.com Best the best news is she is for sale now to be delivered in 2013
	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 72 km/h) 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. www.gibbstech.com

	GSP 55 (Gusenichniy Samokhodniy Parom) (1959) Heavy Amphibious Ferry The GSP is built on two tracked amphibians, placed side by side and flanked by two large steel pontoons. They enter the water one by one and are then linked. One left handed and one right handed is needed to make one ferry. Once linked together, the pontoon swings down Each unit carries retractable track ways, which enable vehicles to be loaded or unloaded either side. Loading and unloading, goes by a ramp extending from the outer sides of the pontoons. The pontoons are filled with foam to make them unsinkable. The tracks of the GSP is similar to the PT-76 light amphibious tank family and has seven road wheels. The idler sits at the front and the drive sprocket at the rear. When entering the water, a trim-vane is erected at the front of the hull. Each unit has two propellers mounted in separate tunnels under the hull.
