A Russian company by the name Avtoros have designed an 8×8 all-terrain vehicle with four cylinder turbo diesel engine. Known as Avtoros Shaman, this 8×8 beast can tackle any terrain, land, water or mountains with its 6.3 meters long, 2.7 meters high, and 2.5 meters wide dimensions and low pressure tyres.
Avtoros Shaman 8×8 beast knows no bounds when it comes to adventure. It is priced at a starting range of €183,125 ( INR 1.44 Crore, approximate). Shaman 8×8 is powered by an Iveco ‘F1C’ 3.0 litre, turbo diesel engine, capable enough to offer a maximum power of 146 HP and 350 NM of maximum torque.
The engine is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. The cock-pit inspired drivers seat in the centre gives an all new futuristic look while the orange and grey paint-finish looks extravagant. The polygonal look and the 450 mm of ground clearance is capable of tackling the worst of terrains and even the water bodies.
The fuel tank is capable enough of holding 260 litres of fuel thereby reducing the limitation of gas station visits. The fully customizable off road as well as on road drive can carry up to 1.5 tons of cargo and requires two months for custom manufacture.
