Tuning company RCI Service has introduced a modified version of the Lada Vesta Sedan. The standard naturally aspirated VAZ-21129 engine with 106 horsepower and a 5-speed manual gearbox VAZ-21807 have been replaced with a turbocharged unit.

The car was equipped with a proprietary turbo kit from RCI Service with a Garrett-1752 turbocharger. Boost pressure is 0.75 bar. Output increased to 150–160 horsepower, torque to 230–240 N·m. Acceleration to 100 kilometers per hour decreased from the factory 11.2 seconds to 7.5–8 seconds. Top speed increased from 180 to 210 kilometers per hour. The engine runs on AI-95 gasoline. Measurements were taken under ideal conditions; actual figures may vary slightly.

Along with the turbo kit, the sedan received a stainless steel exhaust manifold, an MG Race exhaust system, Sport front brakes, a reinforced clutch, and a "Turbo" pump. The car underwent a full cycle of work – assembly, tuning, and break-in. The sedan is based in Chuvashia.

The tuning project significantly improves dynamic characteristics without compromising the reliability of key components. The installed turbo kit is fully reversible, and its installation does not require significant structural changes. The modified Vesta becomes a worthy competitor to many foreign cars in its class. RCI Service also plans to create similar turbo kits for the Lada Vesta SW Cross and other AvtoVAZ models.
