The Tatra 807 was a large tracked amphibious vehicle built by Tatra as a military test prototype. It made its first driving trials on land and in the water in 1954.
It was powered by the water-cooled 12-cylinder V-2 engine of the T-34 tank, rated at 300 hp. The track ground length was 3,950 mm. It could carry 24 people or 3,000 kg of cargo.
The source does not say how far the project went beyond these trials.
