To start collecting GAZ Volga engine Chrysler. Perhaps this latest attempt to stir up consumer interest in Nizhny Novgorod cars. The protracted conflict between GAZ and Zavolzhsky plant belonging to the holding "Severstal-Avto, pushing the company in Nizhny Novgorod on the search for alternative suppliers. The essence of the controversy lies in the fact that gas prices ZMZ considers overpriced and severstalevskie managers concessions do not go. Alternatively gazovskie engineers proposed a 16-valve engine Chrysler 2.4 liter volume, which, for example, is set on the Chrysler PT Cruiser. This motor is almost perfectly fits the hood space of the Volga, which is why investment in the project have been reduced to a minimum. Besides the engine, the "Volga" 2006 model year set a new instrument panel, consisting of two main dials, speedometer and tachometer, as well as secondary fuel level sensors, and coolant temperature. The location of the shooter and scales with exactly the same instrument panel BMW nineties. Pivoted to the ignition key, which is still located in a dangerous place in front of the driver's knees. The interior engine noise is almost inaudible. At an acceptable level and vibration are the body. Despite the uninformative drive clutch, moves smoothly. When started, the rear wheels can easily go into the slip, and Chrysler Motor desperately roars. From the side looks very menacing, but the driver at this point is not to fun. Weightless drive, pleasing in the parking lot very little effort, has no feedback. It seems that this joystick simulator. After a set of "hundreds" to "catch" the car is becoming increasingly difficult. In principle, the maximum speed of US-Russian product is 178 km / h. But the natural sense of self is not possible to accelerate faster 140. Scary! Machine becomes uncontrollable. Impression that the "Volga" can only go straight. Avoid a sharp obstacles will not succeed. Brakes, your car, too, reluctantly. Push the brake pedal comes with with serious effort. This once again reveals the problem of obsolete gear. How much more expensive "Volga" with the U.S. power plant? GAZ representatives claim that the new engine will increase the price of the car just $ 400. But there is a caveat. Model 2006 model year will receive a new instrument panel and modified the interior, on which the writings of German studio Herman Ravema. As a result, the new motor in combination with improved interior will raise the price to $ 1500. 2 - 2006 Sergey Crosses Photo by the author
