There is the fastest Niva on the planet in Ukraine, and as for this instance, it can safely be classified as one of the most expensive Niva SUVs in the world. According to the owner, he spent almost 30 thousand dollars just on modifications!

Was it worth it? Here, the question is rhetorical, comparable to a virtual NFT yacht for $650 thousand. That is, everyone has their own madness. In specifics, the 2016 VAZ Niva was radically refurbished in Chelyabinsk – the same Russian city where everything is so harsh that even a Niva can have an interior from… a representative Mercedes-Benz W222! And this is no joke.

The doors are also unusual ‘a la Lamborghini’. But the wheels, if you look closely, are from the G-Wagon. Clearly, on low-profile, with improved brakes, etc. There is LED lighting ‘around the circle’, and the trunk lid has a separate electric drive and features a touch opening function.
So, it’s clear, right? Many details migrated from Mercedes, but in terms of power – it’s stock. As before, a 1.7-liter with 83 horsepower. Considering the replacement interior, giant wheels, etc., it’s certain that the official 17 seconds to a hundred have increased significantly. But the thing is, good style is more important than acceleration.

By the way, at the moment, the tuned VAZ off-road vehicle is up for sale for a price that is more than three times the cost of a Niva with no mileage (in Russia).
And did you know that this year the German tuning studio Lorinser took on the Lada Niva, and Niva wristwatches were released in Switzerland?
