We all love our auto industry very much, we don’t have a soul in it. But at the same time, many of us are not aware of the opportunities that Soviet engineers and designers were endowed with. And the possibilities were almost limitless.
Here I have compiled a list of rare, unique and simply unusual Soviet cars that you will never see with your own eyes.
I am proud of the Soviet engineers and resent the Soviet officials, who spoiled a lot of promising developments.
And what technological backlog was lost as a result of Perestroika is simply incomprehensible to the mind.
I promise it will be interesting.
Let's start with government projects in the automotive industry.
PROTOTYPES
GAZ-62 - our answer to the Americans
GAZ-62 (1952) - a prototype of an army off-road vehicle, created to replace the Dodge 3/4, which had proven itself in the army during the war (which was supplied to the USSR under lend-lease).
The car had dimensions 5000x2100x1800 mm and a wheelbase of 2850 mm, was designed to carry 12 people or 1200 kg of cargo, the maximum speed of the all-terrain vehicle was 85 km / h. A 6-cylinder 76-horsepower engine was used as a power unit.
A number of progressive solutions for that time were used in the design of this car: to prevent the ingress of water, dirt and sand, the drum wheel brakes were sealed, rubber pads in the seals of the springs reduced the amount of maintenance. The all-terrain vehicle was comfortable: there was a powerful heater with airflow windshield, and the rear springs had variable stiffness providing a high level of smoothness.
In addition to the main passenger version, a cargo modification of the car was also developed - GAZ-62A with an enlarged body and a horizontal spare wheel.
GAZ-62 passed all the necessary tests and in 1958 was demonstrated as a promising model of the Gorky Automobile Plant at the All-Union Industrial Exhibition in Moscow (later - VDNH), but for unknown reasons it was not put into production.
ZIS-E134 layout No. 1
In the summer of 1954, the newly formed VMS ZIS, which initially numbered only 20 people, was given the task of creating a fundamentally new medium multi-purpose four-axle (8 × 8) ultra-high cross-country vehicle (aka high-speed artillery tractor ATK-6) with a carrying capacity of 5-6 tons.
Since there was no experience in the development of such machines, in order to study the issues of increasing the cross-country ability of wheeled vehicles, as well as to assess the influence of individual design parameters on the cross-country ability, during July-August 1955, an experimental four-axle (8 × 8) truck ZIS-E134 layout was built No. 1.
Experienced ZIL-E134 proved its worth. Practically not inferior to the caterpillar tractor in terms of cross-country ability and traction, it had a number of significant advantages - higher speed on the highway and a running gear resource, cheaper operation. The tests carried out made it possible to identify the directions further research. Both the developer and the customer wanted to see a more advanced machine. According to the requirements of the military, its carrying capacity was to be at least 6 tons, the weight of the towed gun doubled. Nevertheless, the invaluable experience gained in the design, construction and testing of the ZIL-E134 layout No. 1 gave confidence in the successful completion of the new task at a high technical level.
ZIS-E134 layout No. 2
In order to determine the parameters and design solutions for a floating vehicle, on April 9, 1956, a prototype 8 × 8 ZIS-E134 layout No. 2 was built. It differed from its predecessor in a displacement hull, lack of elastic suspension wheels (based on the experience of testing the ZIS-E134 model No. 1), the presence of a water jet (not installed immediately) with a rotary nozzle that performs the functions of a water rudder. The water jet impeller was borrowed from the PT-76 tank. In terms of the power plant, transmission, propulsion and control system, the new machine did not differ from the ZIS-E134 layout No. 1.
MAZ-505
MAZ-505 (1962) - an experienced four-wheel drive truck with an onboard platform, created for the army. IN mass production this model did not go, most likely giving way to another novelty of those years - the GAZ-66.
ZIL-132R - super truck for the agricultural industry
.jpg)
The machine, created under the leadership of the chief designer A. I. Filippov in the department of the chief designer of the ZIL, headed by V. A. Grachev, had a number of interesting features. The chassis had a uniform placement of three (2100 + 2100 mm) axles along the base, power unit(ZIL-130 engine, boosted to 165 hp) with a clutch and gearbox was placed between the first and second axles, and a fiberglass cabin with steel doors was placed in front of the engine. The transmission was carried out according to the n-shaped scheme, that is, with on-board distribution of the power flow so that the wheels of each side had a rigid (non-differential) kinematic connection with each other. The double-disk clutch was supplied with a hydraulic drive, and a mechanical 5-speed gearbox - remote control. The cylindrical differential of the inter-board transfer case was equipped with a locking mechanism. A power take-off mechanism with a hydraulic pump was mounted on the gearbox to drive a tipper body or fertilizer application equipment.
The change in direction of movement was provided by turning the front and rear steered wheels due to the hydraulic system without a rigid connection between the front and rear controlled axles. Tires 16.00–20 with a diameter of about 1400 mm were installed on the car, which, in combination with an independent suspension, provided ground clearance from 480 to 590 mm, a centralized tire pressure control system and ventilated disc brakes with dual-circuit hydraulic drive, which were not located in the wheel hubs, but on the final drives of the front and rear steered wheels. Among the serial trucks ZIL-132 R at that time there was no equal. Moreover, the cross-country performance of the car was so high that it freely competed, and in many cases surpassed caterpillar tractors used in the countryside.
But the car was built in single copy.
ZIL-E167 - cross-country snowmobile
ZIL-E167 (1963) - experimental wheeled all-terrain vehicle terrain, designed for use in conditions complete off-road under adverse climatic conditions. The machine was created using components and assemblies from the 135L chassis, which was practically ready by that time, the frame of which was additionally reinforced.
The super all-terrain vehicle was driven by two ZIL-375 engines of 118 hp each. each, the power was transmitted according to the onboard circuit. The engines were placed at the rear, for better cooling, air intakes were provided on the sides of the body. Huge wheels, shod in tires with a dimension of 21.00-28 and a diameter of 1790 mm on unique fiberglass (!) Prefabricated disks with metal elements, weighed almost three times less than their metal counterparts. The ground clearance of the car with these wheels was 852 mm, the bottom was covered with steel sheets to protect the units and better glide through snow and mud.
The cabin of the driver and passengers was also made of fiberglass; longitudinal seats were installed in the cabin. The cabin, borrowed from the ZIL-135L, and the interior were heated by independent heaters. Among other things, a winch was installed on the machine with tractive effort in 7 tons.
Suspension matched that of 135L, drum brakes driven by a hydropneumatic system. During the tests, the car proved to be excellent, the maximum speed in winter on the highway was 75 km / h, on virgin snow 10 km / h. However, the all-terrain vehicle did not go into series, because due to the complexity of the transmission design, it was inferior in terms of maintainability to the GT-1 tracked tractor.
ZIL-49061
ZIL-49061 is a three-axle all-wheel drive floating vehicle based on the ZIL-4906 all-terrain vehicle. It is part of the search and rescue complex "Blue Bird".
These amphibians were equipped with ZIL-131 engines with mechanical boxes gear; applied independent suspension of all wheels, two propellers; front and rear wheels made controllable, and the connection between the two was provided by a hydrostatic servo drive, due to which the rotation rear wheels begins after turning the front ones at an angle greater than 6 °. It was a very unusual decision brake mechanisms: they are disc, but they were not placed in the wheels, but in the body of the car.
The machines of the 490 complex have successfully passed the tests and have been mass-produced for many years. These "Blue Birds" are still serving in the Military Space Forces. There is no replacement for them. Two 4906s were sent to Germany during the floods that swept over it in the summer of 2002, where they were used very effectively to evacuate residents from flooded areas. In Europe, there was nothing like it, which caused the Germans a feeling of admiration and outright envy.
In addition, the Blue Bird complex included ZIL-2906.
ZIL-2906 is a rotary auger snow and swamp vehicle carried on a cargo ZIL-4906. After the improvement, he received the index 29061.
The swamp vehicle was equipped with two VAZ rotary piston engines with an onboard transmission scheme, the body and augers were made of aluminum alloy, and the cabin was made of fiberglass.
To this day, no other country in the world has such a unique complex, which, thanks to the ZIL-29061, has almost absolute all-terrain capability.
ZIL-4904
The auger snow and swamp all-terrain vehicle ZIL-4904 was built in 1972 and is the largest in the world. Payload- 2.5 tons. However, he developed a very low speed - 10.1 km / h on the water, 7.3 km / h in the swamp, 4.45 km / h on the rafting, 10.5 km / h on the snow.
Lightweight hollow or filled with a polymer (for example, foam) augers allow the machine to float on water, cross such dead places where any wheel and tracked vehicles. However, since the augers are made of a hard material, usually non-ferrous metals, an auger-rotary all-terrain vehicle is completely unsuitable for paved roads. On asphalt, concrete and even rubble, such a car will have to be transported on a tow truck.
VAZ-E2121 "Crocodile" - an early prototype of the legendary Niva
VAZ-E2121 "Crocodile" (1971) - an early prototype of the experimental VAZ-2121, with a frame and open body, switchable front and rear axles. IN further construction The car was almost completely changed, only two prototypes of this model were produced.
AZLK-2150 - a prototype of the off-road Moskvich
AZLK-2150 is a light SUV from AZLK, created in the USSR in 1973, as part of a project to create a compact comfortable SUV. The aggregate part of the prototype was unified with the M-2140 model, which was planned for production at that time. In total, two prototypes of the M-2150 were created with canvas and hard tops.
The Moscow SUV turned out to be different in concept from the Niva, closer to the "classic" SUVs - with a separate spar frame, continuous axles and stiff springs. In the competition of three plants (at AvtoVAZ - the future VAZ-2121 Niva, and at IZH-mash - Izh-14), AvtoVAZ won, having managed to create the most comfortable and competitive on the world market, although less "off-road" design.
The military department became interested in the M-2150 prototype, formally an order was received from the Ministry of Defense for the production of 60 thousand vehicles per year at a plant in the city of Kineshma, but the matter never came to production.
VAZ-E2122 - an army SUV from Togliatti
VAZ-E2122 (1976) - the first version of an experimental, floating off-road vehicle, developed by order of the USSR Ministry of Defense (initially, the project was created on the plant's own initiative). The car was designed using components and assemblies of the civilian VAZ-2121 Niva car, which was being prepared for production at the same time.
E2122 differed from analogues in the first place original design, which did not give out an amphibian in it, small size and maneuverability (for example, the turning radius on water and land practically did not differ). The sealed body allowed the car to move through the water at a speed of 4.5 km / h by rotating the wheels. 1.6 liter engine, permanent four-wheel drive, contributed to the good maneuverability of the car (on land and on water), which was not at all inferior to the "old man" UAZ-469. From UAZ (for the purpose of unification), the prototype got a winch and a tow bar, at the request of the military, the bumpers were made as flat as possible, with lights recessed into them so that a car stuck in front could be pushed, Windshield and the side door frames folded. In addition, the "jeep" was equipped with two gas tanks, and the body structure provided for the installation of a stretcher.
On the first version of the car, the awning did not have side windows, but during the tests it became clear that rear visibility was sorely lacking and they were included in the design. However, the tightness of the body was badly affected by the temperature regime of the "Nivovsky" units, as a result of which they quickly failed, the light body could not withstand serious loads. But the customers still liked the prototype, it was decided to continue work and design the second version of the jeep.
VAZ-2E2122 - the second version of the floating jeep
VAZ-2E2122 (1977) - the second version of the floating SUV for the army, created on the basis of the E2122 prototype. On this prototype, VAZ designers tried to take into account all the wishes of the military department and get rid of the shortcomings of the first version: overheating of the engine and transmission, breakdowns in exhaust system, poor visibility, as well as to work out several other important points, such as the ability to start at low temperatures.
UAZ-452K - triaxial loaf
UAZ-452K (1973) - an experimental sixteen-seater bus with a 6x4 wheel arrangement. Based on this bus, Medea resuscitation vehicles were developed for the needs of Georgian mine rescuers. There was also a variant with a 6x6 wheel formula, later in Georgia a small-scale production of reanimobiles was established from 1989 to 1994, approximately 50 units per year.
But this project was not buried - the car was produced from 1989 to 1994 by the Vezdekhod cooperative from the Georgian city of Bolnisi.
ZIL-4102 - the prototype of the last "membership"
ZIL-4102 is a promising limousine that was supposed to replace the outdated five-seater ZIL-41041 sedan. In 1988, the sixth ZIL workshop produced two prototypes of the car. The fundamental difference between the new model and other Soviet limousines was the lack of a frame, in connection with this, the ZIL designers had to do a lot of work to reduce the vibrations of the supporting body. New sedan was half a meter longer than the Volga, and weighed half a ton less than the ZIL-41041. Roof and floor panels, trunk lid, hood and bumpers were made of fiberglass.
NAMI-0284 "Debut" (1987)
A car - a concept car, as they wrote then, "a particularly small class", was built with the prospect of using some solutions for stock car ZAZ.
The original body was good aerodynamics(coefficient drag Cx - 0.23). The Oka engines (VAZ-1111 and VAZ-11113) were installed on the car, and the MeMZ-245 was installed on a later version with a slightly modified finish ("Debut-II"). They also planned to test a car with turbocharged VAZ-11113 and MeMZ engines with a 16-valve block head. "Debut" was equipped with an electrovacuum clutch, a cruise control system.
AZLK 2142 "Moskvich" - an experienced sedan
AZLK 2142 "Moskvich" (1990-96) is an experimental sedan created on the basis of AZLK-2141 and presented to the general public in 1990. The car was fully tested and almost ready for production, it was planned to send the car to the conveyor already in 1992, equipping it with a new Moskvich-414 engine.
After the collapse of the USSR, the death of the then general director of AZLK V.P. Kolomnikov, these plans were not destined to come true, however, with various engines the prototype was assembled for several more years. Moreover, a car that did not actually exist later served as the basis for the small-scale models "Prince Vladimir" and "Ivan Kalita" produced in small batches.
Project "Istra"
AZLK-2144, "Istra" - experienced car AZLK plant, created in the mid-late 1980s. It was made in a single copy around 1985-88, never mass-produced.
Notable for a number of unique solutions, including - duralumin body without a central pillar; two wide side doors opening vertically upwards; diesel, rapeseed oil powered; night vision device and indication of instrument readings on the windshield; unique automatic transmission.
Istra was ahead of its time in many ways. At that time, this machine was much superior to its predecessors.
The only model sample, previously kept in the AZLK museum, is now in the museum on Rogozhsky Val in Moscow.
UAZ-3170 Simbir
In 1975, at UAZ, under the chief designer Startsev, development began, and in 1980 a demonstration model of a "car general purpose off-road" UAZ-3170 "Simbir". The car had a ground clearance of 325 mm and a height of 1960 mm - both parameters differed from the "469th" (215 and 2050 mm). The suspension was dependent spring.
Alexander Sergeevich Shabanov was the lead designer of the GAK theme and the head of the test group. Military samples of the machine were tested and protected by the project in the Moscow Region in 1982-1983.
Subsequently, according to the results, the second version of Simbir was born - UAZ-3171 (1985-1987).
Simbir 1990 army
Simbir 1990 civil
NAMI-LuAZ "Proto" - the ghost of a Russian country road
NAMI-LuAZ "Proto" (1989) - a prototype created in the Leningrad branch of NAMI as part of a competition announced by the Ministry of Autoselkhozmash, a team of designers and designers led by G. Khainov. The body was a metal frame, on which were hung plastic panels, which simplified the repair, improved the performance of the car.
As power plant the MeMZ-245 engine from Tavria was used, the transmission was developed almost anew: non-switchable cardan gear, gearbox driving and connected front axle (without transfer case). Gearbox, power take-off on front-wheel drive, front main gear were collected in one block. Front suspension independent (McPherson), rear dependent (De Dion). The motor, along with the front suspension and radiator, was mounted on a removable subframe, which facilitated the repair and assembly of the car.
Salon "Proto" is designed for four passengers, the seats have been transformed, forming a single sleeping area. The rear part of the roof was removed, it was possible to install an awning.
In parallel with Proto, LuAZ developed its own version as part of the competition future car which had significant differences.
LuAZ 1301 (1984/88/94) is a prototype of a light SUV, which was supposed to replace the outdated 969M model on the conveyor. The first version of the car was designed back in 1984 and was the same 969M with a new body. The 1988 prototype was different frame-panel body(steel frame and plastic panels), pneumatic elements in independent spring suspension, allowing you to change the ground clearance. The upgraded MeMZ-245 engine from Tavria was used as a power plant.
The drive of all wheels is permanent, the transmission had a lockable center differential. The roof and sidewalls were removed, making it easy to convert a jeep into a pickup truck, and a soft top version was also planned. The rear door of the car was made of two sections - upper and lower, spare wheel and a set of tools were placed in niches under the front seats, thus completely freeing the luggage compartment.
But for unknown reasons, not a single version of the machine was chosen, and a year later it was completely out of time for prototypes.
MAZ 2000 "Perestroika"
Brilliant name. Well, it just delivers wildly.
MAZ 2000 "Perestroika" (1988) - prototype main truck, which was distinguished by an original modular design: most of the units were located in front - the engine, gearbox, drive axle and steering. If necessary, any of the "passive" bogies was replaced by a similar set of units, allowing you to build road trains of any length and carrying capacity.
It was the first Soviet car designed specifically for truckers. In the autumn of 1988, on Paris Motor Show this design was highly praised, but the prototype never made it into production, for obvious reasons.
The wrong country was called Honduras.
Of course, this is not the whole list. There were still a lot of interesting projects that remained in single copies. And even in the form of drawings.
Why were these projects not implemented? There are reasons for that. The Soviet system, again, was imperfect, it often gave rise to brilliant projects and revolutionary ideas, but immediately killed them.
What happened in our time with many of these exhibits?
HOME-MADE CARS
Why not? If you have a technical education, a pot cooks, and claws do not grow from your ass - so why not build your own own car?
In the USSR it was quite possible.
In the 1960s, the well-known magazine Tekhnika-molodezhi led the movement of amateur automotive industry in the USSR. For 20 years, on the pages of the magazine, on TV screens, during many car runs around the country, the eyes of millions of readers and viewers have appeared dozens self-made cars. A huge thing in the popularization of the amateur car industry in the 80s was the transfer "You Can Do It" (computer), which enjoyed popular attention. For each 45-minute broadcast, television received up to half a million letters (!!!).
Of all the projects of that time, I selected the most interesting ones.
"Pangolina"
Like the first products of Ford and Benz, the legend of the Soviet author's automotive industry - "Pangolina", was designed and built by almost one person. Alexander Kulygin. Unlike the amusing “Shelf” or “Ant”, Kulygin’s “Pangolin” was a full-fledged car, created by an experienced and talented designer.
The main structural material of the body was fiberglass. Work on the creation of the Pangolin body began with the formation of a master model - a plywood base for fiberglass. The main operations were carried out in Moscow. After Kulygin left for Ukhta, the master model was destroyed. The process of adapting the body to the chassis of the VAZ penny took place in the city of Ukhta. The original engine from the VAZ 2101 was used as the engine - a forced alternative to the planned boxer engine, which never appeared in final version"Pangolins".
Experts claimed that Kulygin was inspired by the Lamborghini Countach sports car. This is indicated by the shape of the body and the original design of the mechanism for opening and closing doors - implemented in the form of a movable cap that captures part of the roof. A periscope prism was used as a rear-view mirror.
You can scold as much as you want Soviet car industry for the fact that the same cars were produced for decades, but that's just the fault of the designers in this. They constantly gushed with ideas and were not afraid of internal competition. Recall the unusual modifications of well-known models that were never given the green light.

Create an incredible cross-country vehicle, successfully pass all state tests with it, wait for the model to be adopted, and then ... achieve the cancellation of all these decisions. This is madness? It's GAS!
All my life one of the greatest automotive designers Vitaly Andreevich Grachev dedicated to the creation of an all-terrain vehicle. First on GAZ, then on ZIL. One of the stages of this path was the experimental GAZ-21. Six wheels, four of which were driving, additional wheels on the bottom that helped roll over bumps, spare wheels that allowed you to move off vertical walls - is it necessary to say that the “twenty-first” amazed the imagination with its cross-country ability? The military rejoiced, because they needed just such a car. But Grachev had already created an all-wheel drive four-wheeled "Emka", the patency of which was even higher: it was she who went into the army.
The all-terrain vehicle borrowed the rear bogie from GAZ-AAA. Subsequently, domestic universal joints replaced with imported ones.
The GAZ-21 chassis was to become the basis for the BA-21 armored car. He, like the pickup truck, was made in a single copy. The army had to start the war on the BA-20, built on the chassis of the usual "Emka".
From this plan, small additional wheels on the bottom and spare wheels, which are rear clearance machines and increasing the geometric cross.
Despite the excellent "geometry", large wheel crossing angles and a high-torque motor, another pair of driving wheels was still missing. On really difficult ground, you had to put chains on the drive axles.
On the basis of the GAZ-21, the GAZ-25 sedan was built, which had seven seats: five in the cabin and two more in the folding "mother-in-law's seat". Considering that the number of wheels has increased, there are also more spares - two.
AZ-12A Phaeton
~ 1949 ~
As you already understood, we love ZIM. Because it is big, beautiful and innovative. But, alas, the most beautiful version of the GAZ-12, the phaeton, did not reach the conveyor. Even if its massive top had to be lifted manually, even if the roofless load-bearing body was bursting at the seams, and the power of the 90-horsepower engine was desperately lacking for the heavier car. But the phaeton was damn attractive!
Open cars were shown to Stalin along with closed ones and received the approval of the leader. But the tests that took place both in Moscow and in the Crimea turned out to be much more merciless than Joseph Vissarionovich - the car did not go into production.
The open ZIM was a real phaeton without side windows. This photo clearly shows the celluloid tie-down windows.
Already in the course of testing side windows made of glass, but they still had to be installed separately. Thanks to the rigid roof frame, the silhouette of soft-top and hard-top cars was almost indistinguishable.
During tests in the Crimea, the phaeton also visited Artek. The enthusiasm of the pioneers knew no bounds!
Fortunately, one of the two prototypes has survived to this day. Interestingly, over time, the number of phaetons even increased: in the regions, ZIM was handicrafted into ceremonial cars.
GAZ-12V and GAZ-12G "Seagull"
~ 1956 ~
No, we did not make a mistake with the number when we printed the model name. It’s just that in the 1950s, new models were created in Gorky as quickly as in Detroit. In the Soviet automotive industry, it was not customary to scatter resources: you are either busy improving an existing model, or working on a promising one. But the indefatigable "gazovtsy" did not seem to know about it.
It does not matter that in 1956 work on the GAZ-13 was in full swing, and already in 1957 the first driving prototypes were built. Engineers have also developed a variant of ZIM restyling! The updated sedan received an engine boosted to 110 horsepower, a different front and rear design, new rear fenders, an automatic transmission from the Volga, which was promising at that time, and a new name, Chaika. However, the ministry did not understand why one country needs two cars of the same class at one plant. As a result, only a new name went into the series, but Gorky will still return to the project of a six-cylinder sedan one step lower than the GAZ-13.
The name "Seagull" was given to the car for a characteristic overlay on the radiator grille. This is the only design element of the prototype that has reached the serial GAZ-13.
In the mid-1950s, according to the latest fashion in Gorky, they actively experimented with two-tone coloring. Alas, black production cars representative class, as now, was not subject to revision.
~ 1958 ~
In the decaying capitalist West, after the sedan, the coupe and cabriolet would have replenished the range of business-class cars, but Soviet factories, as you know, have their own pride. Therefore, the van became the next modification of the Volga.
However, the 21st was difficult to spoil with something, so the van looked great. Bicolor painting, chrome, a deer on the hood - it’s not a sin to use this as a personal transport! As often happens interesting car and remained only a project. Largely because it was built not at GAZ itself, but at the Gorky Bus Plant. Meanwhile, the demand for such cars was. No wonder many motor transport enterprises during the overhaul, the GAZ-21 and GAZ-22 were converted into vans and even pickups. It turned out they did, however, not so elegantly.
Work on the van was carried out simultaneously with the station wagon and the ambulance, but the van was ready a full two years earlier.
The carrying capacity of the car was 500 kilograms. To create a flat cargo area, the spare tire moved underground, and the tank moved to the middle of the bottom.
~ 1964 ~
Why is there no "shishiga" in our reviews? Because a truck was built in Gorky, which was even cooler!
Since the 1930s heavy trucks ZIS answered, and GAZ was engaged in cars one step lower. But in Gorky they were not going to put up with this, therefore, as soon as they lowered the directive from above to create a three-axle all-wheel drive truck of a new generation, they built their own version. And do not care that such machines have already been developed by ZIL (model 131) and Ural (375). The truck from the banks of the Volga received the name GAZ-34 and was generally based on shishiga units.
With the same carrying capacity as that of the ZIL, the "thirty-fourth" was 1.3 tons lighter, half a meter shorter, had more cargo platform and consumed less fuel. But in 1967, ZIL finally launched mass production of its all-terrain vehicle, and since competition in the USSR could only be in the case of patronage from one of the ministers, the GAZ-34 did not get on the conveyor. Although it was recommended by the military for adoption.
As you can see, even for military trucks, the "gazovtsy" chose cheerful colors.
The Thirty-Four borrowed the gearbox along with the clutch from the ZIL-131, and the rear axles, along with the suspension, from the ZIL-157.
During the tests, five GAZ-34s traveled the route from Moscow to Ashgabat and Ukhta, carried soldiers (27 people could fit in the back), towed 122-mm howitzers, trailers and even an airplane.
~ 1965 ~
what kind of 408th "Moskvich" you definitely have not seen! However, this is not quite "Moskvich". In 1965, with active lobbying by the future Minister of Defense Dmitry Ustinov, who in the early 60s was in charge of the entire national economy, the construction of an automobile plant began in Izhevsk. Moreover, the new plant did not have an original car: instead, it was planned to launch the production of the latest Moskvich-408.
However, the team of designers of the young enterprise did not quite like this development of events. Instead of traveling on Moscow luggage, Udmurtia developed its own car, which received the name ZIMA-1. The compact coupe received a frame structure and body panels made by bending and rolling. From the 408th, only the engine, doors, hood and windows remained.
Soon the first prototype was followed by the second - the four-door sedan received a different grille and the name ZIMA-2. But no arguments could outweigh the outdated design, so the industry leadership ordered the people of Izhevsk not to engage in nonsense, but to work on the development of the Moscow sedan.
The creators of the car claimed that ZIMA is an abbreviation that stands for "Izhevsk Small Car Plant".
ZIMA-2 was a more familiar sedan. Pay attention to how light shoes one of the women has not in winter. Udmurt ladies are so severe...
Over time, ZIMA-1 underwent small restyling- changed the grille. Interestingly, it still remained original, and was not unified with the sedan.
The fate of both cars is unknown. Some time ago, at one of the exhibitions, a very “polished” sedan appeared, which the owner passed off as ZIMA-2, but the plausibility of these statements raises questions.

"Directorskaya Volga" GAZ-3102 for a long 26 years was the coolest Soviet car that an ordinary person could buy. Meanwhile, only a small part of the design ideas reached the conveyor. V6 engines, automatic transmission, spring rear and pivotless front suspension, a new front panel - buyers did not see all this on the serial 3102.
The fuel crisis of the 1970s, the stagnation in the Soviet economy, the abandonment of the production of "Moskvich" series 3-5, with which new Volga the automatic transmission was supposed to be divided, and, most importantly, the priority financing of VAZ to the detriment of other plants forced the Gorky engineers to significantly simplify the original project. As a result, the GAZ-3102 received only a forced version of the old engine, front disc brakes and a new interior and exterior design. And again AvtoVAZ is to blame for everything ...
In 1967, Gorky planned to create 3101 in a completely new body, but the beginning slowdown in the economy forced them to work on a new generation car in the back of the GAZ-24.
Due to the colossal costs that the new plant in Togliatti required, GAZ was financed on a residual basis. The "Gazovtsy" had to drag the car, which was already ready for production, to various exhibitions in the hope of convincing the top management. As a result, the money was allocated only for the greatly simplified GAZ-3102.
The interior of the 3101 is much more sporty than the 3102. The dash and center console form a kind of cockpit around the driver. Pay attention to the automatic transmission selector on the central tunnel.
~ 1974 ~
The legend says that we should personally thank Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev for the birth of the all-wheel drive "twenty-fourth". In fact, the cause is confused with the effect. Experiments with the creation of off-road cars were carried out in Gorky since the 1930s, but only the all-wheel drive Pobeda GAZ-M72 became serial.
Creative search did not bypass the Volga of the second generation. They didn’t change the cooking recipe: the body and engine of the Volga were “married” with elements of the UAZ-469 chassis. In total, five cars were built, one of which was presented to Brezhnev. Another car was left at the plant for the needs of the director of the enterprise. These machines have survived to this day. The remaining vehicles were dismantled by the Ministry of Defense and the Gorky regional party committee. And dismantled, it seems, not figuratively - the trace of these machines is lost.
Despite seemingly good prospects, production of the 24-95 never began. Obviously, stagnation, like devastation, occurs in the minds, because in the 1950s, begging factory workers to set up production new modification didn't have to.
The same "Volga" Brezhnev. It is distinguished from other cars by the green color of the body and the green upholstery of the seats. It turned out very stylish. Now the car is in the museum on Rogozhsky Val, which we have already mentioned more than once - perhaps the best collection is collected there. Soviet cars in Moscow.
GAZ-24-95 is a full-fledged "Volga", and not a mestizo with a "goat". From the latter, only bridges, spring suspension and transfer case, and "self-blocks" migrated from the GAZ-41, better known as the BRDM-2.
The lifted Volga may not be too elegant, but for such cross-country ability it was easily forgiven for her.
The General Secretary's car served in the hunting area in Zavidovo, but Leonid Ilyich did not like the GAZ-24-95 too much - because of the small windows. big open window It was convenient to use the "goat" as a support for shooting, but in the "Volga" it did not work out that way.
VAZ-2103 Porsche
~ 1976~
In Zuffenhausen, long before the development of the G8, they were eyeing the Soviet automobile industry as a source of orders. Less than three years have passed since the start of production of the VAZ-2103, when Porsche, by order of the Soviet company Vneshtechnika, has already developed a restyling project for the most sporty Zhiguli. All chrome was removed from the car, and the steel bumpers were replaced with body-colored plastic ones.
The project was rejected by the Togliatti designers, since by that time their own, cheaper restyling project, the VAZ-2106, was already ready. But the enterprising Germans were remembered, and after a couple of years they returned to them with a front-wheel drive hatchback project.
The Germans did not limit themselves to design changes. Noise isolation was improved, suspension settings were changed, anti-corrosion protection of the body was increased, and the engine was brought to the most stringent environmental standards.
~ 1976 ~
Initially, a copy of the FIAT-125 was supposed to be the flagship of VAZ, but in the process of negotiating the purchase of a license, the Soviet side demanded that the Italians create a luxury modification based on the FIAT-124 so that the unification of the two versions of the Zhiguli was maximum. The Italians had to create a more expensive version of the 124 from scratch. In the course of the work, the Soviet side was offered both a sedan, which later became the VAZ-2103, and a station wagon with a similar front design. Then the leadership of the Togliatti plant refused, but the idea was remembered. And in 1976, three station wagons with a four-headlight lighting system were built in Tolyatti, which received the index 2104.
One car was handed over to the Dmitrovsky training ground, the second to the AvtoVAZtekhoobsluzhivanie division, and the third was left to the factory Style Center (the division that dealt with the appearance of Lada cars). But things didn’t go beyond prototypes, and the index eventually got a station wagon based on the “five”. It is curious that the Italians also managed only a four-door modification of their 124 Special.
The only photo of the luxury station wagon has survived to this day.
Several "twos" and "fours" received the front part from the VAZ-2103 by the owners. For example, this station wagon comes from Ukraine.
VAZ-2106 "Tourist"
~Year unknown~
In the late 1970s, on the instructions of the Technical Directorate of the plant in Togliatti, an experimental pickup truck was built on the basis of the latest "six" at that time. Pickup trucks made in a handicraft way from serial sedans for in-plant needs, were built at all enterprises in the country, but only at VAZ they decided to build a car that would now be called SUT - Sport Utility Truck. After all, she was called not to carry oiled tins, but to help her owner enjoy life.
Metallic silver, a tent in the back, an elegant silhouette and a powerful engine - alas, there was no place for such a car in the Soviet Union. Therefore, there is nothing surprising in the fact that the head management of the plant rejected the project. The tent was removed, the pickup itself was repainted red and sent to haul those same oiled tins. When the car ran out of service, it was quietly sent to a landfill.
"I blinded you from what was." "Tourist" was sculpted from serial parts, but it turned out surprisingly harmoniously.
And this is what most of the factory homemade pickups looked like. The seams of the welded door are clearly visible in the picture.
Such scale model Tourist is produced by Vector models. The model is not made very neatly, but the only alternative is to make a pickup truck from the "six" with your own hands.
VAZ-2108 "Targa"
~ 1988 ~
European distributors of domestic cars with enviable regularity demanded modifications from our factories with a convertible body. And if in the 1960s it was possible to do without them, then in the 1980s many began to build convertibles based on the VAZ-2108 on their own. This is how Lada San Remo and Lada Natacha appeared.
They did not sit idly by at the plant itself. Only now, instead of the banal cutting off of the roof in Togliatti, they decided to create something of the kind. So the VAZ-2108 Targa was born. The only copy of the "eight-tee-top" was made in the "VAZ" Style Center in 1988, and already in 1992 it was destroyed. It’s a pity, because this is perhaps the most beautiful and certainly the most unusual modification of the Samara.
Targa, or rather T-top, did not turn out during the banal cutting of holes in the roof: the car has a rear overhang from the VAZ-21099 sedan and a “long wing”, which became serial only in 1991.
Safety in the event of a rollover was provided by powerful longitudinal and transverse beams.
Moskvich-2142
~ 1990 ~
In the early 1980s, when base model fourth generation"Muscovites" hatchback 2141 was already ready for production, at AZLK they began to develop the next car of the family - the sedan 2142. Moreover, the differences from the hatchback were not only in the appearance of a separate trunk. The sedan received new fenders, bumpers, grille, rear lights, improved interior, undercarriage and the engine of the promising AZLK-21414 family - in a word, it was a full-fledged restyling.
It was planned that the sedan would be on the assembly line as early as 1992, but the collapse of the USSR, the inability to complete the construction of a new engine plant and the worsening economic situation of AZLK made these plans unrealizable. Only in 1997 did a stretched version of the sedan get on the conveyor, which received its own name - "Prince Vladimir". Unlike the original 2142, the stretch got an old interior, and the design of the front end completely repeated that of the Svyatogor hatchback. Subsequently, on the basis of "Vladimir", a business-class stretch sedan "Ivan Kalita" appeared, the appearance of which delighted only Chinese designers.
The design, though reminiscent of the Ford Sierra, was completely original.
Interestingly, in 1983, on the basis of Simca 1308, on the basis of which the “forty-first” was created, the Talbot Solara sedan was produced for a short time. But Moskvich has nothing to do with him.
The original plan for the creation of the fourth generation Moskvich did not include a sedan, but already in the 1980s it was corrected. The problem was that at AZLK there was no calculation of the power structure of the Simca 1308 body, with which the 2141 was “fought”. As a result, the work dragged on, and the back ended up looking like a suitcase.
The promising sedan received ventilated disc brakes in front and a different suspension, and the plans included the introduction of an all-wheel drive transmission. In the late 1990s, all-wheel drive nevertheless appeared on Ivan Kalita, but that car can be called serial with a high degree of conventionality.
In the hope of bringing the car closer to the conveyor, the creators abandoned all the original elements, and 2142 turned into a banal three-volume version of the “forty-first”. The car was still produced in a small edition. Now such cars are real rarities.
There is an opinion that the Soviet auto industry did not indulge motorists with a variety of models. And this is fair. However, few people know that on various automobile factories The USSR in different years developed very promising models, which for various reasons did not get into the series. Today we will talk about unknown Soviet cars that never reached the Soviet motorists.
1. NAMI Luaz "Proto"
In 1989 in the USSR, such a machine could well get into mass production. It was positioned as a 4-seater SUV. The machine was equipped with a reinforced steel frame, which was closed with removable panels (which greatly simplified repairs). The seats in the car were laid out in such a way that one wide bed was obtained, which occupied almost the entire interior.
Moskvich-2143 "Yauza" with original, but strange side windows, which were divided into 2 parts, and only the lower one went down.
- Moskvich-2144 "Istra" with an aluminum body and side windows that did not fall, and ventilation was supposed to be due to small windows and air conditioning.
This car was planned to be equipped with airbags and an ABS system. The image from the night vision device, as well as information about the speed of movement, was supposed to be displayed on the windshield using a small projector. Regarding all these machines, we can say that their fate ended with the existence Soviet Union.
8. VAZ-2702 "Pony"
Back in 1974. VAZ engineers began to create a compact cargo electric vehicle. Many interesting things were connected in this car. engineering solutions(from an ethyl alcohol heater to an aluminum frame made of pipes). However, field tests revealed a number of problems, such as a persistent alcohol smell in the car, spontaneous opening of the windows during movement, insufficient frame strength, and unreliable brakes. The car has been modified. However, it did not pass the second test either, and during the third crash test it completely fell apart right in front of the testers.
9. ZIL-118 "Youth"
The well-known ZIL-111 looked like a real one soviet limousine for important people of that time. In the 60s, the engineers of the USSR set out to create a bead of the same level of comfort. And so the ZIL-118 "Youth" model appeared, which had a smooth ride and high-quality interior trim. In 1967 At the bus exhibition in Nice, the car received 17 awards at once. However, in mass production the car was never sent due to the high cost of the project. These cars were produced several times a year on special orders from the KGB, television, and as special ambulances. For the entire period, only 93 ZIL-118 "Youth" were produced.
10. MAZ-2000 "Perestroika"
In 1985 At the Minsk Automobile Plant, the development of the MAZ 2000 model began. In the process, a team of young engineers patented more than 30 new concepts, which are currently purchased foreign companies and are used in the production of trucks. In 1988, the truck was demonstrated at the Paris Motor Show, where experts appreciated it (gold medal for technical solutions). The collapse of the USSR prevented the launch of this decent car into mass production.
Unknown soviet cars.
There is an opinion that the Soviet auto industry did not indulge motorists with a variety of models. And this is fair. However, few people know that very promising models were developed at various automobile plants in the USSR in different years, which for various reasons did not get into the series. Today we will talk about unknown Soviet cars that never reached the Soviet motorists.
1. NAMI Luaz "Proto"
NAMI Luaz "Proto".
In 1989 in the USSR, such a machine could well get into mass production. It was positioned as a 4-seater SUV. The machine was equipped with a reinforced steel frame, which was closed with removable panels (which greatly simplified repairs). The seats in the car were laid out in such a way that one wide bed was obtained, which occupied almost the entire interior.
2. NAMI 0288 "Compact"
NAMI 0288 "Compact".
This one was supposed to be the first Soviet mini. "Compact" was assembled in 1988. in a single copy. He had the following indicators: maximum speed - 150 km / h, gasoline consumption of 6 liters per 100 km. In addition, the car had on-board computer, who was responsible for the operation of the suspension and other elements. NAMI 0288 Compact took 5th place (in 1989) at the Tokyo Motor Show among 30 concept cars presented there. However, the imminent collapse of the Soviet Union put an end to the issue of implementing NAMI 0288 Compact.
3. ZIS 112
Car ZIS 112.
At the Stalin plant, Soviet engineers tried to create worthy sports cars of domestic production. Of the seven developed options, it is necessary to single out the ZIS-112 model (later ZIL-112). The designer was inspired to create this car by the legendary Buick X90. However, the ZIS 112 had its own style. Its length was almost 6 m, and it weighed a little less than 3 tons. For this reason, the car was not suitable for participation in circuit races and they began to redo it.
4. Moskvich 408 "Tourist"
Car Moskvich 408 "Tourist".
In 1964 the Moskvich 408 was created, which even now can occasionally be found on the roads of the CIS countries. However, few people know that the younger brother of this car, the Moskvich-480 Tourist, was created almost at the same time. This model was made in a coupe-cabriolet body, unusual for Soviet people. This car had electronic injection fuel, more powerful than a conventional Moskvich engine (63 hp), as well as top speed 130 km/h.
A significant drawback was the removable plastic roof, which did not fit in the trunk, which required storing it somewhere in the garage. It should be noted that at that time at AZLK all production capacity were occupied by ordinary Muscovites 408, and the “Tourist” model, released in only 2 copies, did not receive further distribution.
5. "Ohta"
Okhta car.
This car was assembled in the Leningrad branch of NAMI. The salon was designed as a 7-seater with the possibility of transformation (the front seats could turn 180ᵒ, and the middle row easily turned into a table). The headlights of this car were built into front bumper, from under which high speeds spoiler was put forward (to increase downforce). The collapse of the USSR prevented the mass production of this car.
6. ZIL-4102
Car ZIL-4102.
In order to create a worthy Soviet executive class car, the ZIL plant purchased for detailed study Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit. ZIL-4102 was created in only 2 copies, each of which was equipped with a powerful V-shaped 8-cylinder engine (power 315 hp, acceleration to hundreds in just 10 seconds) and a modern sound system with 10 speakers, which could play not only the radio, but even read the CD.
The fate of this machine was decided by M.S. Gorbachev. He did not like the car and the development was closed. It is interesting that one of the ZIL-4102 specimens is still kept in one of the private collections and from time to time takes part in exhibitions.
7. Muscovites of the 80s
Car Moskvich-412.
Already in the 80s of the last century, it became clear to engineers that Moskvich was obsolete. He was clearly inferior to Western counterparts, as technical parameters as well as by design.
This prompted the development of new models, among which it is worth highlighting:
- Moskvich-2139 "Arbat" was supposed to be the first Soviet 7-seater mini-vein.
Car Moskvich-2139 "Arbat".
- Moskvich-2143 "Yauza" with original, but strange side windows, which were divided into 2 parts, and only the lower one fell from them.

- Moskvich-2144 "Istra" with an aluminum body and side windows that did not fall, and ventilation was supposed to be due to small windows and air conditioning.

The collapse of the USSR prevented this worthy car from being put into mass production.
On car exhibitions there are always a lot of prototypes. It takes a lot of time to create a new car, and even more time to eliminate errors and inaccuracies. Only a small part of new creations reaches the assembly line. Most of the cars remain only in the drawings or are produced in the amount of one unit. USSR
Many cars with familiar contours are still roaming the roads of Russia and many countries. These were production models. And VAZ, after its creation, prepared a number of new models.

AZLK also tried to expand its range. And many designs were created that did not reach the series.
MZMA 401E-424E "Moskvich" Experienced "1949 
MZMA "Moskvich" A9 Prototype 1957 
Minibus "Moskvich".
A nine-seater minibus, designed by I. A. Gladilin and V. I. Evlampov, according to the modern classification, would be considered a category B car, that is, a passenger car.
The experimental car was equipped with a non-serial Moskvich-407 engine and an experimental four-speed gearbox. They used components and parts, in particular the rear axle from the Moskvich-410. They also made two cargo van bodies, but these Moskvich-FVG cars were never assembled. Work on the minibus was stopped due to the lack of space at the plant for its production.

This could be "Moskvich -2141", if the copying of "Simca" had not gone.
And this is a long-cherished idea of a city taxi by designer Yuri Aaronovich Dolmatovsky. For a long time nothing was known about the fate of the prototype itself: after it was forgotten, it ended up on the historical exposition of the 19th Moscow taxi fleet, where it was looked at only by production leaders, delegations from other cities. Now it is exhibited in the museum. Its bulky steel frame is lined with fiberglass panels. There are four seats in the cabin. Entrance and exit through one side sliding door on the right side.

IMZ-NAMI-450 Belka 1956 
In 1956, NAMI, together with the Irbit Motorcycle Plant, developed the IMZ-NAMI-A50 Belka minicar. The rear-engined car with a length of only 3.3 meters was distinguished by an unusual “carriage” layout for that time.
For access to the driver's and front passenger's seat, the front part of the body leaned forward, and a large side door on the starboard side served as a landing in the back seat. Other features included - independent suspension miniature 10-inch wheels, hydraulic drives brake and clutch, two-cylinder motorcycle engine air cooling IMZ-M-72 Belka never went into production, and the prototypes were destroyed.

USA
Building a car is hard work. But what attracts a potential buyer in the first place? Especially in countries with a well-developed automotive industry. For example USA. The car cannot be on the assembly line for a long time. Need to rotate models. And what will be put in the series tomorrow? What will attract the consumer?
Designers and designers were working on this, trying to "look" a little ahead. That is, to create, if not the car of the future, then at least tomorrow.
A large number of manufacturers in the United States created favorable conditions for healthy competition in the work of designers.
Cars of the next period seemed to them as unusual with rocket-aircraft forms (this aero style lasted a very long time in the USA and in many countries).
And its origins appeared in the late 40s. The fashion for victorious bodies with heavy lines and massive decor was already coming to an end.
Tucker Torpedo 1948 
The impetus for the development of new lines and forms was the approach of the 60s. Century jet technology, the beginning of space exploration. A sharp leap in technology. The future seemed to be near. And everyone wanted to get into this future.
New cars acquired swiftness, craving for speed and futurism.
Many developments were created in a single copy. But such is the fate of prototypes, concept cars. Many of these cars were later used to varying degrees, in the nodes of other cars, in their design.
