2. The machine has been built on the Fiat 124 series, which is then received Soviet citizenship and became known as VAZ 2101 or simply "Kopeika". The only instance issued under the symbol "C4 Touring Superleggera» specially for the show at the Turin Motor Show in '66, during which time began to study the demand and receive preliminary applications for the new model. As a result, it received about 1000 orders from dealers and private individuals, and decided to start small-scale assembly of the coupe-cabriolet based on the Milanese bodywork company Carrozzeria Touring.
