Can't imagine the turning circle is too good on that thing...also needs a propeller! Very cool nonetheless, always seems like the craziest contraptions come from the coldest countries...

I would not call that monster. Its rather small compared to one built in Canadia.

Interesting but it did spur me into a quick bit of research on amphibious cars and this is what I came across



First thing I said to myself is "That shape and those wheels look awfully familiar..."






I did a little more research and while it has nothing directly to do with the structure of a G-Class (Its made mostly of salt-water resistant aluminum) it does share some components with it.




And yes, it does float http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHjBJeoTx48
