The Argo Avenger is an eight-wheeled all terrain vehicle built by Ontario Drive and Gear Limited.
On land the vehicle is steered turning the wheels on the two sides of the vehicle at different speeds.
On water the vehicle can be propelled either by the treads on the tires, or by an outboard motor.
Optionally, on very loose or swampy land a pair of large band tracks can be strung over the vehicles' wheels.
