Kamaz Typhoon!!
*********************************************
Greetings
Thjaktis, and also hello to everyone else…..:coffeedrink:
Great post, and wonderful videos of what an “integrated-looking” 6x6 with plenty of power to spare might look like in action.
Although the Kamaz Typhoon is miles removed from the specified parameters of the
TerraLiner, the Typhoon is still very "suggestive", as the Italians would say. Sure, it's a military vehicle and not civilian; it weighs a ton because it's loaded with armor; as
campo has already suggested, the front windows are much too small (more about that in a later series of posts....
); and the Typhoon is too short, shorter than the TerraLiner by at least 1 - 2 m. But the Typhoon's axle configuration is
very interesting, and deserves consideration at length.
Many thanks for posting about this vehicle; as you can see, you've
"hit a nerve"......:REOutArchery02:
Here are your videos again, plus a few more, including some about the “
Ural Typhoon”. But this time the videos are embedded, because they're more "fun" that way, and because they become easier to flip through, remember, refer to, etc. when one can see their opening images…..
The first three videos are by far the most descriptive and explanatory. In effect, they are mini-documentaries, so if you can understand Russian, enjoy!
The fourth video has some great music, and shows the Typhoon negotiating spring and/or fall countryside.
The fifth video is in many ways the most complete, and has lots of footage of the Typhoon driving through snow. At one point, exactly 6 minutes and 20 seconds into the video, it demonstrates the Typhoon's special ability to do what is in effect a "
bootleg turn", in which the rear end of the vehicle fishtails to help spin the whole thing around. It shows the Typhoon fishtailing in slow motion.....:sombrero:
