VAZ 1801 "Pony"

- Another, another story!
- Ho, ho, ho, okay, listen grandson. Once our superiors came up with the idea to build an open four-seater electric car to serve resorts, exhibitions, parks, etc. The design of this machine took Vereshchagin. As soon as I saw his creation I immediately wanted to bring it to life. The leading designer was appointed Baranovsky. Unfortunately, we were able to create only 2 samples of VAZ-1801. I'm not sure exactly what went wrong, because everyone liked the project, it was taken to various exhibitions, where it collected quite a stir, but this machine did not go into full-scale production.
- Grandfather, grandfather." And what were the characteristics of this machine?
- Oh, let me remember... something like:

• Rear wheel drive.
  
• Maximum speed 70 km/h.
  
• Power reserve up to 6km.
  
• Excellent handling.
  
• Very simple operation.

- That's kind of the most important thing.
- And tell me how the exhibition took place.
- Well, they had a lot of people. Yes, Yes, Yes, I most remember the exhibition in "Steam Workshop" , it was an interesting platform. Everyone went back and forth. Some people stopped and looked at our creation. We even organized a book of reviews and suggestions. So people could share their experiences and offer us their ideas. We called it - "Comments".
- Hmm, and why now such machines not make?
- Interesting question. I think time is not the same, people have forgotten how to dream. There are a lot of good and interesting ideas in our world, but few people want to take risks and implement them. Do not be afraid of anything new, create what you believe in and maybe then you will bring something interesting to our world.
