	Vityaz DT-30P (1985) It was build by the Machine building Company Vityaz in Bashkortostan. The original DT-30P is no longer in production and has never been exported outside the former Soviet republic. Engine: V-12 multi fuel 710 hp Gearbox: first a torque converter and then a hydro mechanical transmission Steering: hydraulic Suspension: torsion Heater: engine and cabin = ? Weight: 21500 kg load: 30000 kg Length: 15590 width:3100 eight 3300 mm Track width: 1100 mm Speed land: 37 km/h speed water: 4 km/h Range: 500 km Crew: 5 max It has an unique track and suspension system with wide band tracks, road wheels with rubber pads. Between the units there are 2 horizontal and 2 vertical hydraulic cylinders which allow the two vehicles to move vertically and horizontally in relation to each other. Trailer(s) are powered by a drive shaft that runs in the middle of those cylinders. This makes the articulated vehicles with a maximum weight of up to 60 tons more capable in terms of their swamp-, moving sand- loose soil- and snow-going capacity, than any type of single-unit swamp- and snow-going vehicle. It can still drive off-road with one unit disabled or without one, or even without both tracks on one of the units. It can cross ditches up to almost the length of one of the vehicles. DT-10PM and DT-30PM, are in use by those looking for or drilling for oil in the far north of the Earth. Phillip Willis has emailed (Feb 2009) that I forgot to added this big Amphib. And he was right. ;-)

	Voisin (1955) You can see a diff, a prop and a rudder on the photo. Nothing else know.
	Volvo L-3314 Amphibi. This was a amphibious vehicle. It was tested on the G\F6ta river. The vehicle was a prototype Valp. Valp is Swedish for "Puppy" Different propeller arrangements was tried until the found something called a "Water Jet" in England. The rear wheel arches are covered in order to increase performance when using the wheels only to force the vehicle forwards in the water. Actually the vehicle could make 2-3 knots in calm waters only by using the wheels. With the "jet device" the vehicle archived 4-5 knots. Picture used by permission of Rickard Bergius.
	Volvo BV202 Snowcat Made by Volvo and amphibious. In service from 1962 to 1981 as a 'Tracked over-snow vehicle. It was capable of 40 km/h with a range of about 400 km.
	Volvo C304 Amphibi An other Volvo in the water! In the late sixties Volvo tested the amphibious capabilities of the "Laplander". With that experience Volvo made a serious attempt to create an amphibious version of the C300-series. Project "4142" was started in 1972 with 5 prototypes. They were 6x6 and had a watertight transmission and bodywork. Air intake and exhaust outlet were placed on the roof directly above the engine and in/out air went through a shaft in the middle of the vehicle.
	Voyager (2008) Made by John Brown out of fibreglass Moulds where one time use So this is truly a one of a kind It has a chassis made out of tubes Engine: Yaris diesel Gearbox: Samurai Transfer-box: Samurai Axles: Samurai
	VW Water beetle Made in Britain, it has a propeller driven by the fan belt pulley (no reverse). The bottom of the Beetle is made "waterproof" and the lower parts of the doors have metal plates on the inside. Look at the water that the bilge pumps pump out. :) The under side of the engine is in the water, the top of the engine is kept dry by a metal casing. The engine hood (bonnet) is removed to cool the top side of the engine. (There is no air cooling in the water. :)
	VW Sea Bug original build by Paul Greene +- 1985 - 1990 Photo was taken in Queensland, Australia, around 1990. Send in by Bertrand from Australia. It is an Amphibious Volkswagen with a small propeller attached to the rear of the engines drive shaft. forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=49123 last Photo is Sea Bug in 2006 ? Sea Bug still lives in the Garage of Pauls son. It is more fibreglass than steel.
	VW water beetle extra. The photos are made in the VW museum in Sweden. Holmgrens Volkswagenmuseum Open the first Sunday in April - October Or phone 0582 - 400 10 and see what is possible. also for groeps / meetings e.t.c.
	VW Water beetle  more and more In 1985, the former Blue Peter presenter Peter Duncan made an unsuccessful attempt to cross the English Channel in a Volkswagen for his programme Duncan Dares. Some say that this is the original Sea Bug of Paul Greene but I have my doubts. The problem was really the tv station that insisted that he had to depart on a certain day. The weather was very rough the TV guys carried the cost of the support boat e.t.c e.t.c. On a 1996 fair in Scotland a differed beetle was one of the star attractions "The unique (LCV) \B4Lothians Volkswagen Club\B4 Water Beetle" which crossed from the mainland to Skye and back toll-free without using the bridge. Scale model = RIOSL051 VW Beetle Amphibian, 1964 1:43 Alan Meldrum of the LVC wrote; I found your website with its reference to Lothians Volkswagen Club Water Beetle. The VW was created in 1990 to celebrate 100 years of the Forth Rail Bridge. It was our gesture of one great engineering achievement reflecting another. The car has been out many times, the Skye Bridge protest crossing was great fun, a new bridge had been built and the toll was 8 Euro for a 70 meter trip, people were very unhappy, we used the Water Beetle to make a point. Next info is from: forums.aussieveedubbers.com The first Water beetle ever was at Perth in 1961/1962 at the opening of the Narrows Bridge and Free-way. Two car dealers Peter Webster and Stuart Campbell drove off the river edge and under the new bridge. It caused a sensation. And there was: Malcolm Buchanan who crosses the Irish Sea from the Isle of Mann in his roadworthy Beetle. Bottom photo.
	Wartburg 400 (1977?)  7 where build. One car is lost in time. Even without the doors this vehicle is amphibious. For how long I can't tell. ;-) When swimming the engine is hanging in the water. The radiator is mounted high behind the engine. The electrics are also mounted high above the water line. This car and one brother. Engine: 4 cylinder 4 stroke 5 other brothers: Engine: 3 cylinder 2 stroke Water propulsion: wheels only More info is much needed and welcome.
	WaterCar proto type (2002) The fibreglass amphibious vehicle is based on a 2002 Convertible Camero body style. Engine: 2.5 litre 300 hp Water-drive: Berkeley jet Speed land: 160 water: 55 km/h the four-wheel independent suspension retracts by a single switch for water mode operation. The centre-mounted removable ski pole along with the wake it creates make it ideal for wake boarding or skiing. This sporty four-seater makes it possible to drive to the lake, experience an exhilarating boat ride and drive back home again without ever leaving the car. WaterCar, Inc. is looking into the feasibility of producing the car in kit form. This vehicle is for sale and they take your orders now. www.watercar.com
	WaterCar Phyton (2009) This Amphib is hand build one at a time. It is a hot rod on the water, excess of 100 km/h water speeds, and a hot rod on the street, 12,5 second 1/4 mile and 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds. The interior is based on a boat design with captain chairs in the front and a wrapping bench in the back. The wheels retract pneumatic. Engine: aluminium LS Corvette Speed land: 200 water: 100 km/h Length: 6850 width: 2050 height: 1650 mm Weight: 1900 kg Passengers: 5 Marine Propulsion: Water Jet www.watercar.com
	WaterCar Gator (2009) This Amphib is a kit car based on the VW Beetle. The chassis, engine and the basic gearbox come from the Beetle. But the roof, doors, wind shield, headlights, seats, mirrors, e.t.c. are the same as on the Jeep CJ8 Al the parts need it to build this vehicle including the patented Gator Transmission are in the kit. The chassis is placed inside the hull. The basic kit has NO retracting wheels and can NOT pull a water-skier.

It was mentioned in the San Diego Log August 11-24 2000
