"Hunchbacked" Zaporozhets for 20 million? Overview of the most luxurious ZAZ-965
This model has never been known for its convenience and practicality. But car from the video will surprise anyone with the quality of assembly and characteristics. Yes, there is no more space inside, but now it is a cramped super luxury class: everything that is possible is covered with premium leather. For ease of boarding, the steering wheel is removable, when the engine is started, the glove compartment opens, in which there are additional devices.
The car is adapted for racing: inside is a full-fledged frame, sports buckets with four-point seat belts. The car is built on the basis of the Lotus Exige Cup, so there are no problems with handling and speed. There is no data on acceleration to 100 km, as for the maximum speed, the creators voice the figure of 220 km / h - it is simply impossible to imagine such indicators on a regular “humpback”.
And that's not all - this is a car with a mid-engine layout. The engine is located behind the driver and is separated by a partition. This made it possible to improve the weight distribution and fit the 2ZZ-GE unit from Toyota, as in the original Lotus. You can talk for a long time about what is in this Zaporozhets. But it’s better to see everything with your own eyes once in order to understand how interesting the project turned out to be and to appreciate how much work has been invested in this car.
