It's from a company that intends to produce the vehicle and sell it to the military, rescue units, etc. but so far I think they have only built this prototype.

Correct!
The KAT 829 Kraken was named after the Hurricane Katrina tragedy, which occurred on 8/29/2005.
Marine designer David Carambat, based in Louisiana, conceived of the amphibious rescue vehicle concept after Katrina destroyed much of New Orleans. The design of his KAT amphibious vehicle has since evolved from rescue vehicles to also include military and recreational versions. His company, Industrial Object, LLC specializes in marine and automotive industrial engineering and design. The vehicle is powered by a VW TDi V6 Diesel engine (oh, one of THOSE engines...)
