This is the one of the most widely distributed models of Lada (Vaz-2105), produced in the Soviet Union and during the early years of post-soviet Russia (1980-1992). It still can be found on Russian roads, and some of them are good enough to be tuned.
For example this one, on the pictures below, resembles in some way the vehicle from the “Ghost Rider” movie.

nice
Kinda reminds me of that episode of Top Gear where they had Lotus tune a man’s 10-year-old Lada. It came out of the shop a true beast of a car (they even added little soviet accents to the vehicle). Very cool.
you mean this DELTA.. enjoy
http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=LndrlKulsWE
If this is Russian car, why is “ON” and “OFF” and “START” written in English?
perhaps because foreign components were used during production
’cause russian for on’off iz “вкл/выкл” or “включен/выключен”
Nice work, except for the spoiler at the back.
That really looks cheap…
??? It still a Lada. What’s the point in wasting time, money and effort on that. You Russians are getting more like North Americans in embracing the sublime and the rediculous…or maybe you were always that way and we just never knew about it.
My sentiments exactly. You sure it just isn’t a reskinned Porsche? It seems to have Porsche brakes and I’m quite certain Lada’s aren’t available with twin-turbo engines.
I mean, it’s a good effort and I admire the initiative but for what it probably cost to do all that, the guy could have bought a real sports car.
To reply to jokez, I suppose its making the best of what you have and keeping it Russian.
Except for the spoiler, roll cage and the recaro seats I think its pretty cool twist on a soviet classic
Hey Adam, I from Canada too(Toronto, ONT.) Don’t how old you are but if you’re at 30 then you probably remember seeing Lada’s on Canadian streets when you were a kid. Anyway, I’m not dissing Lada’s ’cause I kinda like them and I remember a teacher from public school who had one. He was always bragging about how the thing would start even in the coldest of winter days and blahblahblah. I just think if the guy restored this car to its original condition and say, put it on Ebay, he would probably make at least 3x the amount he spent on it by selling it to some fanatical car collector. But instead, what we have here is a riced, or should I say, borscht’d up classic automobile. It’s an ugly shame.
This is a roket…
i wonder, how fast this thing can go? that would be nice to take it for a spin someday , someplace.
80kmph. Anybody, who thinks that VAZ classic cars (2101-2107) can “go” is terribly mistaken.
“Diablo runs LADA”
Haha, my family used to own that car while I lived in Slovakia. It was quite good, but I’m still surprised someone managed to turn it into that!
Is that a Nissan RB26DETT, the one in the Skyline GT-Rs?
Apparently, it’s an RB25DE (the skyline/300zx non-turbo version – it’s got the N/A inlet manifold) with two turbos strapped to the side – so techinically it’s not the Skyline GTR RB26DETT but you could call it an RB25DETT.
And I bet it’s a monster in a tinplate-dumpster like that Lada!
Very good tuning! Also the model is one of the best
I wish that the Ladas in the UK looked like this one, I love the use of colours and what this person has done to the car.
Heck, it may still be a Lada but it looks pretty damn good. I mean, how many souped up Ladas are there? Not many (probably for a good reason)
At least you can say “I did it just because I could!”
Excellent effort!
In Russia we called this type of car as “basin”.
In Russian it spells like “TAZIK”.
We have sevem models of that type. From model VAZ-2101 to VAZ-2107. VAZ means – “Volga Cars Factory”.
It hasn’t produced since 2005, i suppose.
Respect for the guy who tunned this car. Looks great and breaks all the stereotypes of the car design, ain’t it. People who don’t appreciate this things, think that the good looking car can be only Porsche and ferrari etc.
This wondercar is based on Nissan SX200.

Nise car. It’s better than a mustang…
I’m from Romania, and I have Lada car, it’s 1200 S. Of course I also have a newer car, but LADA, has been the car of my youth. What can I say about it, hard to be broken and easy to repair! Most of the repairs, if is neccesary, I do it myself! If my new car it will be broken, i shall not be able to repair it! The year of production is 1982, and these days I’m some kind of tunning it. Not so much, but new stereo, new carepet, painting, and some new gadget. I really love this car because she never let me down. So I can’t send it to yhe junkyard yet!
Still a LADA
Huh. Huge engine…
Ich mchte im internet nur suchen. ja interessen russia schne autos verschiedene. okay
The only thing on that car that is LADA is the body shell, the chasis looks like a tube frame and u can see it extend into the struts in the engine bay, the brakes are Porsche and the engine is either an RB25DETT or an RB26DETT. The car would be a rocket with a twin turbo engine and a stiff tube frame chasis it could easily come in under 1100kg. too bad for the aerodynamics though.
That is an RB25DETT engine with the Turbo T type manifold.
The great thing about Russia is that basically everyone is caucasian, and caucasians ROCK! Everyone else is just a wanna-be caucasian.
I agree. It might be the last place on earth that has not been “Uglified”. (if you know what I mean.)
Nice work, now that’s what i call real car for guys…….
cool
I love this car It’s Turkish name is Murat 124 under Fiat licence

Looks like they stuff a Nissan Skyline twin turbo straight six in there. That thing has to be good for at least 600 HP.
I heard that some Lada models have the super thick body shell and since I never owned one, I wonder if that is true?
Wow. I bet’cha this thing can go 0-60 in 3.2 (minutes).
