Cars of the Soviet automobile industry that were not "lucky"
How many interesting equipment in the USSR did not go into mass production! Sometimes the reasons for the failure of developments are baffling: the complexity of manufacturing, untimeliness (how is that?) Or a banal postponement for an indefinite period. Of course, they also created extravagant versions of cars that were hardly suitable for mass use. But what did not please the compact minibus, and even capable of transporting goods, which you see on the splash screen? In the USSR, they did not exist then from the word “generally”.


On the ALL TIME 10 channel, the author talks about unique Soviet cars that had an original design and were already made of carbon fiber. Some models were lucky, like, for example, the minibus "Start" from the movie "Prisoner of the Caucasus". But most of the then novelties, at best, ended up in museums or private hands. And some are lost forever.

Many people know about experimental projects at VAZ. But few people know about cars designed at the Izhmash plant. Some of them are still of interest and look very modern for those years. Like, for example, a hatchback with front-wheel drive (also for some reason "Start") and improved aerodynamics. It will seem strange to you, but he had ... a gimbal! And what other unusual machines were created by Soviet engineers? Watch the video!
