History (Part One)


I invite you to also go back to middle of the decade of 60 in the former Soviet Union wherein political, economic and technological suffered a great delay in the manufacture of automobiles.

The two traditional Russian factories and GAZ Moskvitch cars industrially produced but in small quantities in relation to domestic demand, high prices and with systems technical mechanisms aged.


In 1965 the Soviet leadership took the decision to modernize the production of automobiles in the country seeking to reduce costs, increase production, creating the "people's car" Soviet and adequate to meet domestic demand.


For this they needed a new state company manufactures automotive and building a model to size and with adequate facilities to manufacture the new car.


This will seek the advice i ntegral some of the biggest European brands, and eventually perhaps for good understanding of direct Soviet gum with the Communist Party Italian FIAT was elected , its factory in Turin and the recently named "European Car of the Year" 124 as models in this new automotive Abrica f .



















The 124 was a family sedan well built, very spacious, had a coil spring rear suspension, disc brakes on all 4 wheels despite being light was very solid.


The Russians took the 124 as base or Sand experience of its own engineers and orthotic ap people of Fiat, modified the design to suit their conditions concentrations as individuals : extremely cold temperatures, poor roads, users are unaccustomed to driving cars, shortages service stations, etc.


The resulting prototype was powered by a new engine (developed by engineers at Fiat) with camshaft head (more modern than the 124), he placed aluminum drum brakes at the rear wheels (better to stop in the mud), the suspension was lifted and strengthened (for the poor Russian Roads) , and the chassis was manufactured in much thicker sheet giving more rigidity. It also had a fuel pump and starter (to handle) that could be operated manually in case of freezing temperatures.


This prototype would be known later as the first classic line: the Lada 2101 .
