How's this for a cool 'go-anywhere' type of rig? The Russian made Sherp ATV is just that kind of vehicle, though I promise you, purchase price does not include a shirtless Vladimir Putin! haha!
Designed by Aleksey Garagashyn, this 1.5. liter, 44 hp little 'dozer' can only reach a land speed of 45kmph, but it will go across, over and through just about everything you can throw at it, and it is capable of water travel to, albeit at 5 kmph. Equipped with a set of self inflating 1600mm tires, it can climb over objects as big as 70 cm, though if you've ever operated a skid steer like myself, you know there's got to be a crazy bit of tilt and tipping point.
Starting price will run you around $50,000 for the basics, which is really basic, with a canvas top and not much for way of amenities in the cabin. The 'Kung' version upgrades you a bit for about $5,000 but no matter the model, this little beast can tackle whatever Mother nature can throw at it and more.
