The Sherp! The craziest 4×4 ever made? (Wait, does this thing float?)

It's time for another weird test of an outlandish off-roader on the Cars.co.za Youtube channel. This time it's an Eastern block search and rescue vehicle, which Ciro tests in its natural habitat… a wine farm in the foothills of Stellenbosch.

When we were invited to experience the Sherp on local soil, we of course jumped at the opportunity. The Sherp is built in and was conceived in the Ukraine, where it is manufactured to fulfil myriad different roles around the world.

Search and rescue teams, fire brigades, salt miners and Siberian explorers all use the Sherp in various ways but for one reason: it can literally drive in a straight line through anything.

We joined the Sherp team at the beautiful Zevenwacht wine estate outside Cape Town where we got to experience this incredibly unique vehicle on land and…on water.
