In Lithuania, a crazy tuned VAZ-2101 is up for sale. They are asking an incredible $24,300 for the Zhiguli.
The thing is that the penny has been turned into a racing beast. Lithuanian racer Mindaugas Gražys worked on this project for five whole years. By the way, the mileage of the car after tuning is only 300 km.
Now under the hood of the Zhiguli is a 2-liter turbo-four from the Lancia Delta Integrale with 400 hp, and the construction uses parts from the BMW 3 E36 and E46. The brakes were taken from a Porsche 911. In general, not much is left from the penny.
In addition, the sedan was lowered and its wheel arches were expanded. The VAZ-2101 tuning also includes racing 17-inch tires and a huge rear wing.
A sports seat and a digital dashboard appeared in the interior.
