It turned out just incredible.

There is no doubt that the GAZ M-20 “Victory” – one of the cult cars of the Soviet car industry. It took half a century, and original copies have already been almost never seen on the roads. In our days of nostalgic craftsmen using modern technology and recreate these retro machines. They are able to give a special, indescribable, emotions.

70 years ago began the phase of large-scale production of the first postwar Soviet car GAZ M-20 “Victory”. Over the next decade the car was released many thousands of copies. It is distinguished by advanced design, ahead of many cars. The car was in high demand sold well abroad. In 1958, the conveyor is stopped, and the individual instances of long traveled the roads of the country.

From Kyiv Ihor’ve always liked the style of “Victories”, but not the comfort and dynamics of the 70-year-old. And he decided to create his own version of the famous car, modernize it, while maintaining recognizable features in a new guise.

The basis of the car was a sedan, Toyota Mark II, which took most of the bodywork, suspension, 2.5-liter 6-cylinder engine rated at 200 HP and automatic transmission. And the middle part of the car, the roof and glass borrowed from sports cars Mazda RX-8.

The main difficulty of creating a “Victory”coupe was the manufacturer of unique metal body in a single instance. It is made by hand. From this “Victory” GAS MARK “Victory-II RX-8” set back glass and part of the body in the headlights.

The interior looks no worse than the entire car. He arranged the elements Mazda RX-8 and Nissan 350Z. Seats and sofa are covered with a white German skin. In the center of the steering wheel and on the headrests made embossed with the image of the order “Victory” of the USSR.

Got in the car and disadvantages. So, for the first time sat behind the wheel, the author of the project realized that back nothing is visible except the roofs of buses and SUVs. So the rear mounted camera, and the picture displayed on the monitor in the salon mirror.

GAZ MARK “Victory-II RX-8” was very impressive, especially in white, which successfully emphasizes the contours of the body. Wherever he went, the owner, are always willing to take pictures of unique cars. Machine, created in Kyiv, visited in France and now happy new owner in Russia.
