The strangest Nivas in the history of AvtoVAZ - some even became small-scale
VAZ-2121 Niva is a universally recognized legend. And not only in Russia and the countries of the former USSR. The car is known abroad, even if only by a select few, but there are also fan clubs there. The VAZ-2121 has been modernized several times, but these are just improvements. The second generation car never appeared. Is it “Shniva”, renamed LADA Niva Travel. But in fact, this is the same chassis, they just piled up a five-door body. Of course, the engine has been fuel-injected for a long time, the cabin has become quieter, but this does not change the essence. The main components are the same. And many Niva fans are satisfied with almost everything. Unless they would like a more powerful engine. Or better yet, several options up to 3,0 liters, and for diesel to be included in the model range. Aesthetes require automatic transmission for happiness. By the way, some automatic transmissions feel great off-road.


But AvtoVAZ has repeatedly produced interesting modifications based on the Niva. For example, he made it not only an off-road vehicle, but a full-fledged all-terrain vehicle. Vehicles similar to desert buggies were developed. There were even experimental vehicles capable of crossing water obstacles. And not rivers, but lakes. Unfortunately, such Nivas did not go into production. But they can be seen on the “AUTO HISTORY” channel.
