Lada Xray was turned into a pickup

10 December 2018

Will Xray the new version?

In the family of Lada Xray submitted only two versions: basic and Xray Cross. What about the appearance of the truck? While this option seems crazy, but a Hungarian design Studio X-Tomi Design provided, it would look like this.

Artists stretched "Xray" in length, increased wheelbase and mounted behind the cargo Bay, passing proportionally moving podshtampovki on the side.

Despite the fact that the cross-hatch Lada Xray infinitely distant from the world of pickups, the car looks quite harmoniously. But there are a couple of problems. First, automobile platform B0, the underlying VAZ compact, not too favors the creation of such machines. But in a small series of these machines have produced: on the basis of the first and second generation of crossovers Renault/Dacia Duster pick-up was produced for the needs of various Romanian companies. Once the tuners and does the presented six-wheeled pickup truck on the platform of the Duster!

The second problem is even bigger: pick-UPS in Russia are low demand and have always been a niche class. For the first ten months of 2018 most popular model in the class remains UAZ Pickup with a score of only 2 953 sold the car. But through the frames, higher lifting capacities (in theory, because the Xray Pickup is only someone's imagination) and cross-country, he is much better suited to the needs of "charge".

Design Studio X-Tomi Design likes to fantasize on the subject of unusual cars. For example, recently she presented a Shooting Brake based on the Porsche 911 Carrera and even the wagon-based Aurus Senat. The latter, incidentally, looks very interesting.
