The Russia Ukraine war has produced some odd side effects.

The Zeepers (or British press, same thing) will likely claim that Russia is reduced to building cars like this due to European ‘sanctions’.

Well, if they are connected to the car’s original transmission, it may go in reverse............

Rush used to play a parody of that theme song for the David Dinkens update theme.

I’ve seen quite a few crash videos. If you are driving one of these and get hit, you’re dead.

Probably a lot more reliable than the original Lada.

Its ok though. They built them so small and crushable that if you did get hit and die, they just buried you in the car.
Kinda like how “smartcars” are now.

FWIW I’ve been watching this channel on YT for a LONG time. They never talk any politics, and always do some CRAZY things. I assume there are tons of old Ladas around as they’re always cutting one up, or doing something to the engine, transmission, or diff on them and it’s usually hilarious.
In short, HIGHLY recommended.

Old Russian Joke:
1st Russian: Hey, have you heard there’s a sweepstakes contest and the first prize is a brand new Lada!
2nd Russian: What is 2nd Prize?
1st Russian: TWO LADAS!..............

Electric motors generally develop maximum torque at 0 rpm.

First of all you have to understand what a LADA is. It is a Russian manufactured car that was built using surplus and obsolete tooling and designs sold to Russia by Fiat. The Lada is basically a 4 door Fiat 124 that has slightly more road clearance for horrible Russian road.
Now with Russian sanction, the chance of getting spare parts for a LADA is pretty close to zero.
To: Red Badger
The original Lada Riva* was a copy of the Fiat 124 the Soviets bought a license to build in 1970.
It speaks volumes about your technocracy when the best you can do it to rent a four-year-old car design from the Iteys.
*Some models had a ‘door’ in the front passenger’s footwell so you could drive out on frozen lakes and go ice fishing from the warmth of your car (auuuming the heater was working).
