Fun, Cheap & Surprisingly Fast Classic Car | ZAZ 968 | [4K]

The ZAZ 968, a Soviet classic from the Cold War era, stands out for its distinctive design and affordability. Born out of a desire to compete with Western car manufacturers, it was produced in Ukraine to showcase Soviet capabilities. Despite quality issues, it became the most affordable option for many, featuring a unique rear-engine placement similar to the Volkswagen Beetle.
The car's interior is simple, reflecting its affordable nature. Driving the ZAZ involves two engine start options and a 4-gear gearbox with a mirroring effect. Despite its potential for racing, the original double exhaust creates a loud cabin. The luggage compartment in the front houses a unique autonomous heater, though it had occasional fire risks.
Designed for off-road use, the ZAZ's rear-engine position and low chassis weight made it successful in navigating challenging terrains. Despite its quirks, including noise and maintenance issues, the ZAZ 968 holds a special place in the hearts of its owners, symbolizing childhood memories and the golden days of the past.

This car is a surprise. It was built like a cheap car but had a V4 engine twice the size of a western economy car, e.g. Citroen 2 CV or Fiat 600. It was modest but had a special burner for heating and chrome on the sides. It certainly could have been designed more economically in these areas and have better quality and durability especially in the bodywork. It was, however, properly adapted for the harsh life of the Russian countryside. Very good presentation.
