Ukrainian craftsmen sometimes make very decent cars with their own hands. Recently, we wrote to you about the homemade sedan Lastochka, put up for sale, and now we will tell you about the real sports coupe Murena.
The Ukrainian sports car Murena is the work of designer Nikolay Doroshenko from Sumy. Like Lastochka, the coupe is built on the basis of Zaporozhets.
The car has a 1.2-liter 40-horsepower engine from the ZAZ-968 and a 4-speed manual transmission from the later ZAZ-968.
The front axle was borrowed from the “disability car” S3D. The maximum speed was 100 km/h.

While Murena’s characteristics are not very impressive, the design is very bright. The coupe has retractable headlights, and the windshield with the roof tilts forward. The body parts are made of fiberglass.
In general, almost a Lamborghini. In the late ’80s, the car was written about in the Soviet press, and Murena also participated in various car rallies. At the moment, the fate of the sports car is unknown.
