#2, Maybe they are. But what would make someone bring it from overseas? It's not a collector's car I think.


Waaaaait.
It probably belongs to a "sleeper". You know, Russian spies who live a life of a normal American until the call comes... Of course, normal Americans don't drive Volgas. Blame the recon. :)

#7, You're positive something like that existed?
I suspect this is just an urban legend. How would the Soviets manage to build and service such an engine? How would that thing drive (clutch, drive shaft, brakes, suspension, etc.)? And if it existed, how many were there? Five?

#10, OK...
But I still remain a skeptic. I'm a bit close to (fucking) Mother Russia and I never heard of those.

"The Russians expressed interest in the rotary in the '60s and sent technicians to NSU in Neckarsulm, West Germany, in 1974. VAZ began development in 1976 and in late 1980 came an announcement of a limited-edition 2-rotor Lada. The rotary was tested in races and rallies. Apparently 2- and 3-rotor engines with power ratings from 120 to 280 hp were produced in the '80s for use in the USSR. The most common seems to have been a 2-rotor rated up to 160 hp, used in KGB, militia (police), and military vehicles. Two of another 2-rotor engine, the 138-hp VAZ-413, were used in the Volga-2 Ekranoplan--one of the new ekranoplanes that has excited aviators."

#14, Well, I believe you.
But no prayer for the dying rotor.

I'd love to add a trabant to my collection some day, for the same reason I buy most of the cars I have, "why not?"
