According to the executive director of the project, Alexander Sasin, the design of the "all-terrain vehicle" was invented by rally driver Dmitry Zubritsky. That is why Visuva received an independent double-wishbone suspension using buggy and rally car technologies.

It is known that the prototype now has drives from Toyota Sequoia, a 4-liter 1UZ-FE engine with a capacity of 280 hp from Great Wall. With the help of this engine, the company tests the suspension and checks the vehicle's cross-country ability.
