AvtoVAZ will present the racing version of the Lada Iskra sedan at the 27th Race of Champions on January 25. The competition will take place at the manufacturer's test site in Sosnovka, according to journalist Maxim Kadakov.
The Iskra modification for racing was developed in compliance with all the principles of preparing Lada cars for sports competitions on ice. The body was lightened and equipped with a welded safety cage. The suspension features special shock absorbers, stiffer springs, and spherical hinges instead of silent blocks in the shock absorber mounts and suspension arms.
The largest number of modifications were made to the power unit. The engine volume was increased from 1.6 liters to 1.8 liters by using an original crankshaft that increases the piston stroke. Both the crankshaft and connecting rods were reinforced.
In addition, AvtoVAZ modernized the intake and exhaust systems, as well as the engine controller. All this made it possible to obtain a power of 173 hp and a torque of 200 Nm. At the same time, 150 Nm is reached already at 2500 rpm, which makes the car not only fast but also torquey.
The transmission uses a sequential gear shifting mechanism, a self-locking inter-wheel differential, and drives made of high-strength steel. The front brakes remained standard from Iskra, the rear ones from Vesta, and the car received a new brake force distribution system.
