It was hard to hold back the mirth at someone gullible enough to buy such a POS foisted so cynically on them.
Some car magazine tested it and suggested it drove like an Accord that did not run very well.

A Russian RV?
I never click your links but this topic is very interesting
If they designed on, I imagine it’d probably look like that. Most likely doesn’t run for crap, but if it did it seems like it’d be a helluva lot of fun.
“Quiet children! This is Russian RV, we do not need road to get to camp! We make road!”
was the 408 anything like the one in the picture? How’d it run?
It was exactly the same, but our was a 4 door sedan. I have never actually seen a coupe version pictured there, it is probably a prototype.
How has it run? Well, not so good comparing to modern cars but not too bad comparing to the rest of European small cars from the 1960s. AFAIK the engine was a BMW knock-off.
