Photos of a high- проходимости truck from the Gorky Automobile Plant have appeared online. Insiders have already dubbed the new GAZ development the successor to the legendary GAZ-66 truck, which was popularly known as the "Shishiga."
The new off-road vehicle is based on the Sadko Next chassis, and the cabless cab is taken from the Valdai NEXT. Conceptually, it repeats the GAZ-66 cab, as it is located above the engine. The car has been under development since 2022, but when the off-road vehicle will be ready is unknown.
There are also no technical details. Industry experts believe that the 5.4-liter engine from the Sadko Next will not fit into the cabless cab, so some other engine may be used there, for example, with a volume of 2.5 or 2.8 liters, from other GAZ models.
It is worth recalling that the GAZ-66 was produced from 1964 to 1999. It was actively used in the army and agriculture.
