Lada Launches New Racing Car

There are auto labels you'd comrade with racing and some you wouldn't. Names like Audi,Ferrari, Ford and Chevrolet would fall resolutely in the previous category. And if you think of Lada, somewhat less so. The Russia based automaker is reminisced for its no add-ons, Soviet age vehicles numerous of which it's still creating today. Barely the kind of equipment you'd want to yield to the race track, nonetheless Ladaas well as its parent company AvtoVAZ agreed to upset that idea when it arrived at the World Touring Car Championship back in the year of 2008. The Russian team has up till now to notch a solitary podium finish in the five years subsequently, but is targeting to differentiate itself this term with the new Granta TC1.

Substituting the preceding Granta 1600T that was constructed to the old S2000 specifications, the novel Granta TC1 is still supposedly founded on the under production Granta, which itself is built on the Kalina that has been in manufacture for ten years at the moment. That essentially strikes us as a comparatively new construction for Lada, bearing in mind that the Niva has been all over the place ever since the 1970s. The petite wheelbase packets a 1.6-liter capacity turbo four adjusted by the racing experts at Oreca, a designation you may (or may not) identify for running Toyota's present LMP1 program, formerly handling the Peugeot 908 otherwise evolving the preceding Dodge Viper for opposition. The company surely has its eye set on the prize and want to achieve it with this new car.
