High-quality metal model of the sports car Lada 2105 VFTS. The model has rotating wheels and is packed on a stand, paper box.
Lada VFTS is a rally car based on the Lada 2105. The abbreviation VFTS stood for "Vilniusskaja fabrika transportnych sredstv". The first model produced in Vilnius was the Lada 1300 with an engine that had an increased displacement to 1600 cm³, while the power was increased to 130-150 hp. The most important factor was the reduction of the weight of the car, achieving a weight reduction of 920 to 950 kilograms by using other materials, such as Plexiglas or polycarbonate windows. Since the car was designed and built for racing, the brake system and bodywork were modified as well. Many parts have been reinforced and stability, cornering behavior and overall handling have been improved. The engine was adapted to burn 100-octane gasoline and at the same time many parts were removed or replaced to simplify repairs. These mechanical and electronic modifications resulted in an increase in power to 160 to 180 horsepower. A roll cage and two bucket seats with 4-point safety belts were installed in the interior.
