You Can Ride a Shaman 8х8 without 2 or 4 Wheels?

"Shaman" is an amphibious all-terrain vehicle on ultra-low pressure tires, produced by the "Avtoros" company.
The all-terrain vehicle has a steel body, the lower part of which is sealed and made according to the principle of a boat. All transmission parts are housed in an original closed frame. The drive is full, with 1 and 2 bridges connected. Wheel suspension is independent, spring. All 8 wheels are swivel.
The all-terrain vehicle has three modes of movement: in the first, only the front 4 wheels are turning, in the second - the wheels of the first and second axles turn in one direction, and the third and fourth - in the opposite direction, reducing the turning radius of the all-terrain vehicle; in the third case, all wheels turn in one direction at the same angle - 27⁰, and the car drives sideways. This mode makes it easier to drive on loose soils, since the rear wheels do not follow the front track.
The Shaman is kept afloat due to the tightness of the body and wheels. The all-terrain vehicle can move through the water due to the rotation of the wheels (in this case, the speed is 2 km/h), or with a propeller (up to 7 km/h). Two pumps with a capacity of 200 liters per minute are installed to pump out the water that has got into the body, and there are also electronically controlled pneumatic valves for quick drainage of water.
The driver's seat is located in the center for improved visibility. The all-terrain vehicle can be fitted with three wheel options, two - 1200-600x21 in size, with different tread patterns and one - 1300-700x21. Shaman is produced in two trim levels - "Tourist" and "Hunter", differing in the interior design. In the "Tourist" there are 6 separate armchairs at the back, and in the "Hunter" instead of them there are 2 fold-out sofas on which you can sleep.
The Shaman is equipped with an Iveco diesel engine, the power of which, in order to increase reliability, has been reduced from 180 to 146 hp. The all-terrain vehicle is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission.
The shaman has no restrictions on movement on public roads, since it does not exceed the permissible width (2,550 mm)
