Take a FAW Hongqi L5 and stick a "Volga" badge on it: Chinese concern may "borrow" a retro car from GAZ

A clone of the Soviet "Volga" found in China - FAW Hongqi L5

GAZ Group has reached the final stage of an agreement with a technology partner to revive the "Volga". It is possible that it will be the Chinese company FAW, which produces a "clone" of the Soviet "Volga".

The voluminous Hongqi L5 sedan is created in a retro style and really looks like a "Volga". Chinese designers left a powerful radiator grille, classic round headlights, and car fenders.

Where the "Volga" has a deer logo, a red flag is developing. If FAW makes a deal with GAZ, the assembly of new cars will be established very quickly. However, there is a possibility that it will end with re-sticking nameplates. As in the case of "Moskvich 3", which is a copy of the Chinese car JAC JS4.
