Lada Samara Sport 16V - more powerful, more maneuverable and... more affordable

History of the model

The history of this model began in 2004, when VAZ designers began developing the car. which could take a place between the C and D classes. The length of the car according to the project must be at least 4.5 meters.

In 2005, a concept car appeared that surprised the public with its elegant appearance and “filling” characteristics. In 2007, the Siluet became the first car that was actually developed by designers, and not copied from other foreign cars, as was the case before.

After modifications, Siluet has changed, but still has not lost the attractiveness that surprised the public.

In addition to improving the design of the Silhouette, the technical components of the car were also modernized. The designers decided to equip the car with a 1.8 liter (112 hp) power unit with gasoline consumption per hundred - 7 liters.

Now these parameters will not surprise anyone, but at the beginning of the new millennium they were very worthy, because then the Priora was considered a modern and new model, but the Siluet surpassed the Priora in technical equipment and body dimensions.

The front-wheel drive model could really compete with Asian and European foreign cars at that time.

Features of the Lada C project and the reasons for its closure

The Lada S project was a joint venture from Canada, whose task was to create cars belonging to the C class.

Its implementation in Russia took place from 2004 to 2009. According to the plan of its developers, 10 models of Lada cars were to be jointly created using the facilities. It was planned to launch all planned models into production in 2009. The result of the work was to be the creation of a joint venture, the head of which was planned to appoint the vice-president of Russian Technologies, Maxim Nagaitsev.

The signing of a framework agreement between the companies on joint work and the creation of parts for the production of a class C machine took place on December 22, 2006.

In 2009, it was decided to freeze cooperation with the Canadian company due to the start of joint work with the alliance of the French and Japanese companies Renault-Nissan. The French automaker became the owner of a 25% stake, and the alliance provided class B platforms, the installation of which was carried out on the first line of the main AvtoVAZ conveyor. Sergei Chemezov, who holds the post of director, said that all the developments that were created jointly with Magna will continue to be used in the process of creating new machine models.

Starting in 2009, the project had to be suspended due to serious financial difficulties. The existing developments were applied in the development and creation of the Lada Vesta model.

Production of cars. As part of this failed project, the following car models were to be produced.

LADA C Concept . It is a sports-style hatchback concept car, which is one of the joint developments of the two companies within the framework of this project. An experimental sample of the model was presented as part of the automobile exhibition in Geneva. At the company's stand, the technical parameters of the machine were indicated: length - 4208 mm, width - 1835 mm, height - 1548 mm, engine capacity - 2.0 liters, maximum speed - 210 km/h. The planned price for the car was supposed to be 450 thousand rubles.

Lada C-Cross. The presentation of this car took place at the Moscow Motor Show in 2008. Its feature is a combination of a car for driving in urban conditions and for off-road driving. With its comfort and dynamics, it was the best option for city roads. At the same time, it had excellent potential for off-road driving, thanks to its short overhang, high ground clearance and 18-inch wheels, which makes it possible to provide an excellent level of geometric cross-country ability. Another positive point was the trunk, with a volume of 350 liters.

Lada Silhouette. The concept car of this car with front-wheel drive was first shown in Moscow in 2004. Especially for this project, a new all-wheel drive system and a two-liter engine were developed. In the future, it was planned to release a new version with a diesel engine as a power plant and an automatic transmission. According to representatives of the manufacturer, this larger car for the whole family will have an interesting appearance and interior design, a high degree of comfort, neat assembly and an increased level of safety.

Bottom line. The complete abandonment of this project and its closure took place after the French company Renault became a co-owner.

Lada Samara Sport 16V - more powerful, more maneuverable and... more affordable

It is possible to purchase a Lada Samara Sport with high dynamic performance at a price no higher than that of a regular “14”. It's hard to believe, isn't it? However, today this has become possible thanks to , which offers customers “charged” versions of cars of the Lada Samara family. You can purchase such a model in Togliatti without leaving the city. Cars with improved characteristics are produced at Super-Avto CJSC.

Judge for yourself: engine power as standard now reaches 98 horsepower thanks to the 21126 engine from Lada Priora. The installed “tenth” gearbox also helped improve the acceleration dynamics: the sports 14th develops “hundreds” in 11.2 seconds. At the same time, the maximum speed of the car increased to 190 km/h. When you get behind the wheel of one of the Lada Samara (16V) family cars, you will get something more than just a “fourteenth” or “thirteenth”.

You will feel the difference when accelerating quickly, when the dynamics of your car presses you into the Fast and the Furious sports seat, included in the Luxury package, perfect for those who love fast driving, convenience and comfort. By the way, about “luxury”: in the company’s showroom this equipment is not an imposed service; the client can equip the Lada Samara Sport with standard equipment to his liking, from crankcase protection and door trim to air conditioning and R15 alloy wheels.

Excellent speed characteristics were balanced by increasing frame rigidity and improving maneuverability: under the hood of the “charged” 14th there is a stretching of the front struts, and handling has reached a new level due to changes in the suspension design. Increased ground clearance and 14″ wheels as standard complete the picture.

Here's how owners from different cities characterize the car:

Andrey, Orenburg

Model: 2114 In principle, I am very pleased with the car. I am satisfied with its dynamics and speed. True, if I had to choose again, I would take a car with a 21126 (98 hp) engine, but now I have a 21124 (90 hp). The car is very dynamic and maneuverable. The suspension is also satisfactory. I drive on trails of varying conditions and have always been satisfied.

Pavel, Krasnodar

Model: 2114 I took the “fourteenth” with engine 21126. It accelerates well, the speed is normal. The car is light and fast, there is enough power reserve. I like. But it would be advisable to “stick” the power steering. The steering wheel is a bit heavy.

Denis, Ulyanovsk region:

Model: 2114 This is my fourth “14th”, with air conditioning. Compared to the standard VAZ model, the difference is quite noticeable. Engine 21124 - 16-valve 1.6. The power is quite large, the car itself is very playful. I work as a company representative, so I drive both around the city and on the highway - in general, in different conditions. I like. The braking system is also improved - I got 14-inch wheels with ventilated discs as standard. The suspension is a bit harsh for this car. And the landing is high. I like. I would recommend this car to energetic young people, as the car is unique - it has increased power and excellent handling. I took mine for 303,500 rubles.

Clients come to the Auto Techna salon not only from Tolyatti, but also from other regions. A car owner truly interested in the driving performance of his “iron horse” is ready to travel hundreds of kilometers to get what he really wanted. The basic principle of choosing a car is common sense, cold calculation, a sober analysis of current desires and future opportunities.

Dynamics. Speed. Maneuverability. These are not the only advantages of purchasing a Lada Samara Sport from Auto Techna. The company has prepared a gift for all fans of “charged” cars. Taking into account promotions and discounts, you can purchase a new car with a benefit of 30,000 rubles. Not a bad bonus to an already completely rethought sports car, isn't it?
