This is something René and I
realy like:
The Rhino from 1954. Also known as the Polywog.
Made in Indianapolis USA by Marmon-Herrington-Company for Marsh use. |
 |
Runs everywhere.
Engine 110 hp, 20 litre diesel consumption on 100 km.
Weight 5 tons. 5,7 m long, 2,85 m wide and 2,95 m high.
Made of aluminium.
The back wheels steer and it is indeed 4 wheel drive. |
 |
Does 72 km/h on road maximum,
but it was forbidden to drive faster than 40 km/h.
In the water it did about 8 km/h. |
 |
Water propulsion by chain
driven jet drive (Kermatth Hydro jet) behind the rear axle.
The nozzle can rotate 360 degrees for steering and reverse. |
 |
The special wheel
construction made it nearly impossible to let it fall on its side. |
 |
Even when the hang was 75%
steep. |
