Pimp That Tank

This vehicle started life as a Russian “BRDM”, translated literally means “Combat Reconnaissance Patrol Vehicle”, an armored scout car made in Russia.
There were plenty of these vehicles in Arabic countries like Iraq or Iran and Syria.
But this is no regular military vehicle. It was bought by a Moscow entrepreneur and then heavily pimped "Russian style".


An amphibian vehicle powered by a 5.5 ltr V8 diesel engine with four wheels and four more smaller wheels that can be lowered at the push of a button should the terrain become rough. It has of course a multi speaker sound system, GPS navigation, TV, DVD and a periscope to see clearly what’s going on when you are swimming across the nearest lake and sonar to navigate underwater. Oh night vision system has also been installed for those dark night drives.



The car is fully registred and road legal so the owner can drive across the normal roads, then go to the lake for some fishing or water skiing, and then visit a Moscow casino on the way home.
