Browse serial Lada Kalina NFR

NFR - this is Need for Race, need for speed, if translated literally. Kalina NFR - the third model of Lada Sport, "daughter" of AvtoVAZ for the production of sports-tuned car. With conveyor NFR starts to go no earlier than fall, but yesterday it was the first public display - on the circuit Moscow Raceway, under Phase WTCC. We have been there the day before, the day of training and qualifications. And train on Kalina NFR





Preliminary information on the Kalina NFR already browse the Internet. This machine is now in the finishing stage, "firmware" engine change almost weekly. But the design, in general, has already been approved. So NFR serial Kalina will be different from the present only fine tuning.



Kalina NFR - not just more powerful version of Kalina-sports car is slightly different ideology. If Kalina Sport - tuning with light strokes, the NFR - generous brushstrokes.

NFR engine boosted to 140 hp through the use of a completely original intake system.



Used and tested on the Sport modified valve timing, the exhaust system with less backpressure and chip tuning. The calibration of the engine - not a routine procedure, and the whole art seems to Lada Sport has not yet found the optimum balance settings.

Engine with new front suspension arms mounted on a stretcher rather interesting design.



The NFR used some components of the Renault Megane - CV joints, brake. Shock absorbers and springs - self-development.

Externally NFR easily distinguished from the sport for "gills" on the cover of the hood improves cooling of the engine compartment and 17-inch wheels with five attachment points.



Wheels R17



Inside - a new chair by AvtoVAZagregat executed in a kind coloristics - gray fabric with bright yellow stitching.



Just decorated and other decorative elements, and on the steering wheel has come from the world of big races "indicator zero»



Suspension NFR out harsh to say the least. This is not a rally setting and ring. To drive on such a machine on the broken pavement or along the country road a little fun: pinpoint handling drowning in airtight. But roll in corners, so preventing the standard VAZ Kalina, there is almost abolished. But another problem has come up - wheel touches the wing flaps in the extreme positions. And even during hard braking, when the front of the reallocated a considerable amount of weight.

Another problem - the lack of software protection engine of twist. Ticker ease and "cool" to 7000 on, after which the tachometer needle is not designed for such speed, just lies down on the stopper. In an amicable way, we must limit the thrust force of 200-300 rpm to a dangerous border.

Nedovedёnnost calibrations and manifested through throwing in emergency mode when attempting to "crank up". When you restart the engine its efficiency recovered, but then the indicator "check Engin" fired up again. But I had time to check the maximum speed on level ground about chetyrёhkilometrovom on fourth gear 195, 7 km / h. This is as much as develops and serial Grant Sport with a 120 horsepower engine.



How much will Kalina NFR - is not known, the price will be determined when the agreement will be reached with all suppliers. Preliminary benchmark - 640-650 thousand rubles. This, of course, a lot of strange, but still cheaper than typing the same set of alterations yourself.



That's all, kick!

At the very ambiguous attitude towards the new product, like and let it be, and the kind of expensive for the "Lada».
