I searched a little and I could not find how much theses things cost. All I know is I want one.

Off-roaders come in all shapes and sizes these days, ranging from a tiny Suzuki Jimny to a Hummer. Somewhere in between is the mighty Viking 29031.
The Viking 29031 is built by a company called Aton Impulse for Russia, a country where it can get so cold your eyelids freeze. So you can understand why it has absolutely massive chunky tyres, rugged looks and a ridiculous amount of ground clearance.
Not only that, this Viking warrior has self-inflating tyres and space for up to 850kg of cargo or seven people, making it usable as a rescue or law enforcement vehicle.
Did we mention it is also amphibious? Yes, this 4x4 behemoth can wade into water, with water-jet propulsion able to power it along in rivers or the sea at 12km/h. Put that in your exhaust pipe and smoke it, Land Rover.
Two engines are available, a ZMZ 51432-10TD1 diesel that creates 110PS and 270Nm of torque and a Ford DW10 that offers between 136 and 163PS and 320 to 320Nm, depending on how much you want to spend. Both come with a six-speed automatic gearbox and have a top speed of 80km/h.

Is there an automobile or off round ping list?
Drive the wilderness trail of your choice.
Top speed 50mph.
It is not made for speed that’s for sure.
It can go 7.5mph in the water. It’s supposed to be the only road legal off road amphibious vehicle in the world.
Only officers know how to operate it....
Could be interesting but incredibly slow.
The perfect Zombie Apocalypse vehicle?
That is so butch!
I love it.
ONE seat in the front!!
Right in the middle.
They are getting faster. The The ATON IMPULSE VIKING-2992 toped out at 37mph. They had a VAZ-2130 1.8-liter engine that put out a max of 82 horsepower.
I’ll stick with my Range Rover Sport Supercharged.
1,874 lbs of cargo seven people. That would work in a Zombie Apocalypse.
I would never own a Range Rover. High maintenance and expensive to fix. Now I would love to own an old land rover. Low maintenance and cheap and easy to fix.
“ONE seat in the front!! Right in the middle.”
Is that so you can have a man with an AK manning each window?
Get one? Something that fun will never be licensed by the Nanny State
Zombies on 3 sides and a river ahead?
Go aquatic!
What’s not to love?
The VIKING is the only only amphibious off-road vehicle in the world to have passed through certification to meet worldwide regulations for unrestricted on-road use.
But I'm sure the nanny state would find an excuse to ban it.
29031 is in Carlisle SC.
