History of the Russian car industry ..
I decided to start this topic here. Many want Russian car here smotret.Mnogie want to "chisel" or "menatyuninh" ... But as a historian to historian will tell. Start over. Let's see how it all started and built.
One of the first racing cars in Russia.
It is strange in Russia have been doing sports cars, yes, but of course they have seen so few people even more, and went to them. Even in Soviet times they were made as a major auto giants and smaller sports clubs and other enthusiasts are single. These cars were a kind of analogue of the European "Alfa Romeo", "Aston Martin", "Porsche" and others. So get down to the fun.
1911 "Russo-Balt S24-55»
Initially, the company "Russo-Balt" engaged in the production of railway equipment. At the dawn of the twentieth century, the company has decided to set up production of cars. It is the "Russo-Balt", and made the first Russian sports car. He served as the basis for serial car models "S24-35". It supplied uprated to 55 hp engine working volume of 4, 5 l. It was the world's first engine with aluminum pistons. Innovation was held in the strictest confidence. By the standards of the car was a high-speed 116 km / h. And in 1912, Andrey Nagel participated in it in the rally "Monte Carlo" showed in the prestigious competition is quite a good result in 9th place in the general classification. From St. Petersburg to Monte Carlo, he had to go with a partner Mikhailov, but he just broke his hand at the start of the starting handle - engine gave backfire. Such incidents often occurred before the introduction of the electric starter. Whatever it was, Nagel alone brought the car to the French Riviera and has become one of the protagonists of the rally "Monte Carlo." In 1913, only one copy of the "Russo-Balt S24-55" remade in pure racing car with streamlined bodywork. The machine has successfully performed in various competitions, but then lost in the confusion of the Revolution and the Civil War.
There was also this version.
And so ...
And this.
1913 "La buire-Ilyin»
Maybe my cousin did?
At the IV International Motor Show 1913 in St. Petersburg debuted a small sports car. Her body looked like a double cigar, for which she immediately received the nickname of "Havana." The car had a "dual citizenship." The chassis and engine - the French company "La buire", and the case of private order-manufactured vehicle-Moscow car factory P.Ilina. a small firm was Russian dealer "La buire" and often these machines are built for the exclusive body. For racing, "Havana" had nothing to do. It was a fast car for country walks and defile through the city streets.
1932 "NATI-2»
Scientific autotractor Institute (NATI) was the forerunner of the current US. He was engaged in technical development in the automotive sector. In 1932, its experts witty six prototypes subcompact NATI-2. All cars have different body. One sported a two-seater sports like "roadster." For its time NATI-2 was a fairly advanced car. It served as the basis for spinal frame. Economical four-cylinder engine (1, 2 l.) Developed 22 hp Suspension rear wheels - an independent, then that was a rarity in the subcompact. Alas, in the working-peasant country sports cars were considered bourgeois whim. And roadster NATI-2 went to the scrap
1937 «GAZ-A Sports»
This machine did enthusiast Anton Girel. He was quite an old man, and kept the memories of the short heyday of motor racing in the Russian pre-revolutionary times. It was they who led him to the creation of a sports car. The basis Girel took GAZ-A, which was then the most mass passenger car in the USSR. All work carried out on one of the depot in Leningrad. Design GAZ-A Sport has been partly naive. So in the undercarriage of a small aerodynamic keel stuck - something completely useless, because the car was low-speed. Although boosted to 55 hp engine, the car could reach only 129 km / h. By the standards of Europe - a ridiculous figure for a sports car. However, by the standards of the Soviet Union - all-union record speed, which was officially registered for Anton Girel.
