Russian gunmaker Kalashnikov says its new electrical concept car based
on

CV-1 concept
]
Russian arms manufacturer Kalashnikov has unveiled a new “supercar”
for the
world's burgeoning electric car market.
The CV-1 concept car can reach 80 kilometres an hour and can travel
for 350
kilometres before recharging.
It appeared as part of Kalashnikov’s latest offerings at the Army 2018
International Military Technology Forum in Moscow.
But behind the technology is a heavy dose of Soviet nostalgia. The
CV-1
uses
the classic Soviet Izh-2125 Kombi as its base. This compact family car
was
produced between 1973 and 1997, providing a cheap transport option for
millions.
“This technology allows us to stand alongside and compete with global
electric car manufacturers such as Tesla,” a Kalashnikov spokesperson
told
Russian news agency RIA Novosti. “We were inspired by our experience
as a
world market leader throughout the creation of all our concept
designs.”

What It Was Like To Buy And Own A Car In The USSR

Remember that famous Ronald Reagan joke about buying a car in the
Soviet
Union? ...
This man laid down the money, and the fellow in charge said to
him:
Come
back in 10 years and get your car.
The man answered: Morning or afternoon?
And the fellow behind the counter said: Ten years from now, what
difference does it make?
And he said: Well, the plumber is coming in the morning.
