In the village of Vesele (Zaporizhzhia region), they create the legendary sports cars Shelby Cobra and Lotus Super Seven. Among their buyers are even Arab sheikhs, reports golos.zp.ua.
The unique cars have been developed for 10 years by engineer Vasiliy Kireyev. He even traveled to study the technologies of small-scale automobile manufacturers in the USA and Britain. In particular, representatives of the company Dax, which also produces replicas, shared their experience with him.
The first Shelby Cobra Vesele car Vasiliy Kireyev assembled with a friend quite a long time, and now it takes several months to create each car. Vasiliy only has a mechanic and an electrician as assistants.
The design of the Ukrainian Shelby Cobra and Lotus Super Seven uses composite materials from Formula 1. The engine, gearbox and configuration can vary greatly – it depends on the owner’s wishes and the thickness of his wallet. Prices start from 6500 euros.
Currently, Vasiliy Kireyev’s sports cars drive in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa, Dnipro. Some cars went abroad.
