Legendary 1000-horsepower "Moskvich-3" car burned down in Moscow

A fire occurred on the Moscow Ring Road (MKAD), which completely destroyed the 1000-horsepower tuned "Moskvich-3" of Russian blogger Davidich.

According to preliminary data, the car, worth 70 million rubles, caught fire in a matter of seconds, but the driver managed to evacuate.

Eyewitnesses reported a fire that occurred with a car at the 106th kilometer of the outer side of the MKAD. Although the official cause of the fire has not been named, witnesses claim that they saw sparks coming from under the bottom of the car as it was moving.

It is reported that the cost of the car is more than 70 million rubles. Of these, the car itself costs about 2.2 million, everything else is modifications.

The large-scale project to tune the "Moskvich" required more than a year of painstaking work from the blogger and the involvement of a team of 80 specialists. The result was a radically different car, in which only the original interior was preserved.

About 400 parts were replaced, including a high-performance engine from the Audi RS Q3, a carbon-ceramic braking system, an enlarged fuel tank, as well as components from BMW and Corvette, providing maximum performance.

Erik Davidovich Kituashvili was the "face" of the revived "Moskvich" brand and has been using a crossover of this model since 2022.

Earlier, www1.ru reported that a new "Moskvich" model based on the MG HS crossover has been certified in Russia.
