Cars for secret operations of the KGB

Today, no one can be surprised by a moped with an engine from "Minsk" or "Zaporozhets", which has something super-powerful under the hood. There are fans of such alterations, ready to arrange interesting impromptu races. And, of course, everyone is rooting for the old “humped” or rusty “penny”. True, this is a completely different car: a forced engine and a special fine-tuning.

The trend has become so popular that it has even reached the Soviet truck classics. A powerful engine from a modern foreign one is installed on a well-worn ZIL lorry and – forward. It seems that in Soviet times this was impossible. The traffic police officers kept a close eye on any violations and quickly stopped them. But let's not rush to conclusions.

On the streets of Moscow or Leningrad, unremarkable Volgas or Zhigulis moved in the usual stream of Soviet cars. But unusual people rode in them. Yes, and having opened the hood of such a supercar, experienced auto mechanics would simply gasp. Similar equipment was used by KGB officers of the USSR to conduct secret operations and spy on foreign citizens who aroused suspicion. If necessary, such car could really surprise and easily catch up with a Mercedes or BMW. Are you interested yet? Then watch the video on TheAutoTop channel.
