It is 6 yrs old!:innocent:
Full test & more pics are here (in Russian unfortunately) http://www.autoreview.ru/new_site/year2001/n08/volga/volga.htm
The car is a mixture of BMW 850 & russian Volga GAZ-21P.
Nice motor BTW! It took them 17 month to build it & more than £200K.

It looks sublime.

I don't quite understand how they've done it though? Is the grey one meant to be how the black one started?

Now that I like!

Shame about the suspension though. Could do with less body roll. Low power from such a large engine?

I think its the ultimate Overhauling on a motor yet, considering its change so very much from the original. Probably started as four Volgas, cut and welded for the widebody, 2 door version.
