"Lada Dwarf»
1988 BC
It might have been the prototype of "Oka", but look at the year of the creation of the prototype. On the contrary, "Dwarf" (the name, of course, especially vazovtsam "managed") constructed from the shortened "Oka". But why it was necessary to reduce the already tiny minicar? Today, quite well-fed in the automotive sense, we simply have forgotten how at the turn of the 90s the whole country floated the idea of "people", and therefore the most cheap machines.
However, weighing less than half a ton of "dwarf" with the landing formula 2 + 2 units of "Oka", in spite of an interesting overall design, development turned out to be another futile. After all, where and what it was to release when a couple of WHA with KAMAZ for a long time could not really establish assembly "donor" "Okie"?

US "LUAZ-Proto»
1989 BC
This project is much less pretentious shapkozakidatelskih ("Oh, put on wheels the whole country!"), But is much more common sense and business analysis. Background "against" is as follows: antediluvian SUV LUAZ-969, manufactured in the Lutsk Automobile Plant in western Ukraine, at the end of the 80's outrageously outdated. And then the engineers have offered us sensible substitute.
Removable plastic body panels, detachable rear part of the roof, the engine of the "Tavria" and rigidly connected front bridge - that's Mighty portrait of a rural universal machine. Even seemingly "against", in our view, it was not without functional refinement. Sorry, but the collapse of the Soviet Union categorically and, unfortunately, finished earlier this rather promising story.

WHA X
1990 BC
He looks so much like "Ohta" its close to ideal aerodynamic teardrop-shaped body, which sometimes confused these two concepts. In fact, "US-Ohta", which were described in the first part, on the part of the performance and technology much more advanced copy. But striking appearance WHA X - only a prototype, and in the full sense of the word. Free interpretation of the seven-seater, aerodynamically calibrated monocab has not progressed beyond the stage layout. And in the years of perestroika he vanished without a trace in vazovskoy confusion and vacillation.
But now, looking at the sleek "X" can be clicked his tongue appreciatively, in recognition of "VAZ" designers: that could, when wanted!

ZAZ-1106
1990 BC
Agree to the beginning of the 90 prospective changer "Tavria" looked good. Of course, the experienced eye immediately catch painfully familiar features contemporary European classmates like Fiat Punto (front) and Citroen AX (semi rear arches). But still in the pants full-size layout ZAZ-1106 looked much better than that as a result of this project has increased.
After nearly a decade of "zero sixth" transformed into a grotesque "Ladoga" with a modified body "Tavria" and headlights from the "tens". ZAZ then switched to production of Korean cars.
«RAF-Roxana / Stils»
1990 BC
Another sad story under the title "Under the rubble of the Soviet Union." When the Riga bus factory realized that the design of the minibus RAF-2203 with units from the "Volga" and the plywood floor has exhausted itself, engineers sat down to design new models. The first was the RWD "Roxanne", modified by a specialist British engineering firm IAD. And just then there was already front-Stils - even more striking in terms of design and aerodynamics.
And it loomed sensible car ... But to whom all this was necessary in a country that went to pieces, and was beginning to crumble to pieces? Well at least the citizens of Riga have preserved the history of both prototypes. Thanks for nothing.

AZLK-2143 "Yauza»
1991 BC
Changer 41st "Moskvich", who was "conditionally legitimate" copy of the French "Simca-1307", was the result of the works of their own design bureau AZLK. The nineties demanded fresh solutions, and with it the "Yauza" there were no problems. Large enough - in the length of 4, 7 meters - sedan distinguished by a sleek silhouette and absolutely incredible glazing. Side windows arranged vertically in two rows, and only open bottom. What for? For ventilation and that's enough, but in bad weather rain and snow did not penetrate into the interior. Brilliant!
In navigating the sample was experimental "azlkovsky" 95-horsepower engine 1, 8 liters, and luxury interior surprised - power steering and injury prevention. But after the construction of the prototype rideable "Yauza" "became shallow." I wonder what would be said about the real buyers bunk glasses AZLK-2143?

AZLK-2144 «Istra»
1991 BC
If the "Yauza" seems fairly advanced for its era and the development of the country, the "Istra" - generally clean space. The machine was created under the state program "Car of 2000" in the theory really is a machine of the future. Firstly, really elegant - no kidding! - Aluminum body with the doors of the "gull-wing" immediately and provides access to the front and to the rear seats. It was scheduled air suspension with electronically controlled, tidy liquid crystal and an advanced self-diagnostic system.
But the main thing - it's a three-cylinder multi-fuel engine construction German engineer Ludwig Elsbetta. Horses in the 1, 5-liter little something around 70, but the tank was theoretically possible to fill even gasoline, diesel even though canola oil! We do not know how much public money has had time to learn to develop AZLK "Istra", but in the long term car gets fantastic. Nothing, however, came not from him.

"Lada Rapan»
1998 BC
End 90th - blissful time. Until Russia has got powerful computers and not very legitimate software. Imagine a space for imagination of yesterday's school? Absolutely crazy architecture body concept "Rapan" another option seems and is not intended. This slozhnosochinennogo and not very meaningful "architecture" of the body could compose a desperate dreamers already mastered 3D Studio, but still poorly versed in automotive design.
Certainly not. Here, in 1998, wrote about the "Rapanu" magazine "At the wheel": "This is a demonstration of the technical and scientific potential of VAZ, its design features, forward-thinking, and finally (in spite of the enemies), the stable state of the enterprise, which can be business, despite all the upheavals of the Russian economy. " Quote over. However, what is expressed in "long-term thinking," except in the fanciful, like peeped Franco Sbarro forms, sliding doors and power unit from the power of "Oka", the magazine did not specify. But we can safely say - "Rapan" we do no one "lapped up". It is the pride of our home, even through her tears.

GAZ-3106 "Ataman-2»
1999 BC
If you are even slightly interested in the domestic automobile industry, we must remember the "Ataman-1." According to official figures, the truck turned over "Gazelle", but less than the GAZ-53, but in fact it was the car-Frankenstein, unpretentious in appearance is intertwined features of cars, "volzhanok" Nizhny Novgorod and medium trucks.
On the same "original" and the platform is built SUV GAZ-3106. The technical stuffing - the same, including the spar frame and dependent-axle front and rear. But on top of all of this was covered quite incredible body. Imagine ice up Land Cruiser Prado 90, about 15 minutes constant on a bright April sun. And thus obtain the "Ataman-2." "Mist" fenders and hood, gathered in a pile-eye headlights, grille skukozhilas raditatora ... Then in Nizhny Novgorod have relied on commercial vehicles and prototype Russian "Kruzak" remained a prototype.

"Lada Peterturbo»
2000 BC
After phantasmagoria called "Rapan", "Peterturbo" no longer shocked, as well - a little surprised. Surprises especially rare combination Ladny aerodynamic body, the original belt line, gave the car a slight resemblance to a flying saucer, and it is unfinished stern, which drew a hurry though.
"Peterturbo" Incidentally, even carried the international salon in Paris. Some modest vazovskogo stand, say, with interest even strolled steep global designers. This alone can be considered a success. As for the mass production of series production ... What?

The revival of deceased in the Bose automotive brands - a fertile topic for a startup. Pulls out of mothballs some half-forgotten brand, composing bombastic press release fascinates investors, and more ... where the curve displays. In the West, the expense of such projects is the dozens. There was this, and we have.
In 2007, just in time for the 100th anniversary of Russian brands "Russo-Balt" bodywork shop "A-Level" has created a prototype-ordination. "Impression" - certainly a highly professional work, for which a complete success but lacked a real resemblance to real models "Russo-Balt". In the prototype, even to reach the famous "Jumping de Elegance" in Italian Villa d'Este, a much greater influence of religious Talbot Lago, Bugatti T57 and the Peugeot Darl'mat 30s than domestic models. It is possible that part of why small-scale production of modern "Russo-Balt" with a gasoline V12 by AMG never materialized.

Lada C Concept

The car is slightly poshumevshaya at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2007, could be a harbinger of a new family of "golf" class. By the standards of "Lada" concept C was pretty good. We must, of course, ignore the dozens of quotations from contemporary classmates and even direct borrowing parts.
At the heart of the prototype, said to the factory workers, - the platform from one of the world's largest suppliers of automotive components company Magna International. But the parts were somehow different from the "Volkswagen" and "Audi". Just at that time Togliatti planned to create a global alliance with the Canadian giant. But not grown together.
