And WTF are Lada doing producing Track oriented cars
Ok Granted there is some serious Piles of craaaaaaaaaaap here but the odd jewels too.

It looks like Lada are on the cusp of getting shot of all the old crud they have been producing and lining up for a gargantuan change of direction. And OMFG what the hell is this! ???????????

Been doing the research and from its humble ties with fiat all those years ago it seems they hit some real sticky bits around 1994-97 Pulled out of the UK and hid well :roll:

However around 2003-5 they forged links with .............



Renault Now 25% shareholders and this is the best bit
Porsche Now 19% shareholders.

Of course this gives Renault some cheap factories and workforce to match but having Porsche on the design team must be an absolute nut tingling experience for them.

Keeping an eye on this now as the UK importer has ditched the brand
and i dont think it will be long before they want to re-appear with the new toys
