Russian enthusiasts have presented a unique project — miniature «Zhiguli», completely redesigned for a compact urban format. The car is based on manual assembly, a homemade body, and a creative approach.
At the same time, the standard transmission quickly gave way under load, so the designers installed a CVT designed for 40 hp — twice as much as the original engine produces. To accommodate the power unit, it was necessary to literally cut out part of the body and reinforce it again.
The craftsmen reworked the steering, camber angles, and suspension. Inside, the car received non-standard upholstery, polycarbonate windows, new optics, and carpeting.
On the test drive, the unusual «Zhiguli» pleased with its ease of acceleration to 40 km/h and excellent maneuverability. Now the car easily parks even in the tightest conditions and feels confident in the city traffic.
