RE: Kalashnikov launches electric car

[MDL111]

I quite like that and would buy one if not too expensive - I believe this is the first electric car I ever considered

[Hairymonster]

Someone buy 'em a wind tunnel please!

Amazing. Looks like some sort of MK2 Escort rip off

Same thing I was thinking when I saw it

From the thumbnail I thought it was a mk2 shell

‘Look Sergi... the western fools are paying £25,000 for an old crap car from the 70,s!!’

‘Fantastic Boris.. imagine what they will pay for an electric one!’

Back to the future - soviet style. I like it.

I call hoax....

Look closely at the front-end shot and you a just about see a sump

Also - the rear end shot looks like it has a fuel,filler cap in the centre

[Some Gump]

Those hinges.
Panel gaps that make a tvr look good.
Rollover protection up there with a mk1 mini convertible.

Looks sweet! Would have one in a heartbeat

[Plug Life]

Looks like it's designed by a 10 y/o after multiple electroshocks...

[Getragdogleg]

The only thing I would change is the wheels, they should be wide steels in black with no hubcaps, not alloys. Then its perfect as it is and I want one.

[BVB]

I'd take that over a Tesla any day.

[smilo996]

More distictive than a Teslar. Love the styling, the colour, nit so much.

[Crouchydc]

forget the SVJ, Divo, Project gold and all the other over priced over hyped nonsense, This is the best car posted on pistonheads this week

[defonsecca]

It looks like nothing else, points two-fingers at Tesla & goes against all current styling trends - I absolutely love it. Reminds me of the similar reaction when Alfa launched the wonderful SZ.

Really hope they build it.

I bet though if Ford did something similar everyone would be loving it. But it's Russian isn't it? So people think you'll be poisoned or turn in to a Corbyn voter.

Jaguar did something similar with the E-Type recently, the forums were probably more negative towards the Jaguar.

I think it being Russian probably helped in this case, not many people here have an emotional connection to the original design they've given the Max Power makeover to.

If someone is feeling kind enough I'll take one ASAP.

One look at the front wheels tells you the car cannot be steered.

The design is horrible from from to back. So many detail issues yet this is just a PR model. That's when you can get away with stuff that looks good but can't be done on production.
