10 July 2018

"AVTOVAZ" presented a hot "news"

"AVTOVAZ" finally presented the Lada Vesta sedan Sport. Now this is not a concept (they were pojasnili two years ago), but the real production model.

Striking appearance

The "sport" version of "Vesta" will be easy to distinguish from the usual. The most striking exterior elements, new bumpers, sills and wing on the trunk lid. In addition, Vesta Sport will get discs with a diameter of 17 or even 18 inches! For the sedan will be offered tyre Continental ContiSportContact 5 dimension 205/50 R17 and 205/45 R18.

Attentive eyes will notice that the wheels have nothing to do with the usual "message": even they are not four pins, and a five. The fact is that the "news-Sport" hub set Renault Megane.

the powerhouse

Not to say that the sport version has got a revolutionary engine, but it is still different from the already known units. The engine is assembled on the basis of serial 1.8-liter motor. Engineers have installed new camshafts with modified and increased the pressure in the fuel system. In the end, the returns jumped from 122 horsepower and 170 N·m up to 145 HP and 187 nm.

A new modification of the engine meets environmental standards Euro-5, in the long term, developers will not be difficult to bring the engine up to the standard "Euro-6". By the way, the two pipe exhaust system are not a sham.

Unfortunately, the manual transmission remains a five-speed. In this case, a Renault gearbox with cable-shift mechanism.

Modified suspension and enhanced brakes

When designing the "sport" versions of "AVTOVAZ" pays much attention to suspension tuning, Lada Vesta Sport is no exception. The engineers have increased the Diameter of the stock front dampers increased from 20 to 22 mm, rear shock — from 12.4 to 14 mm. the Wheels are mounted on a 35 mm wider front and 15 mm wider at the rear. The ground clearance was less than 16 mm, although in comparison with foreign analogues even Vesta seems to be a Sport SUV: ground clearance 162 mm still can not be called modest.

Plus, the sport version has got reinforced brakes: front discs, pads and the pistons were increased.

But what about dynamics?

The increased recoil made Lada Vesta Sport is more nimble while acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h the car accelerates in 9.6 seconds, while for the standard machine with 1.8 liter engine and manual transmission is claimed 10.2 seconds. From 186 to 198 km/h increased maximum speed.

Finally, you can say that "Lada" in the factory performance "leaves" of ten seconds. On the one hand, it's not a very impressive figure. On the other, by the standards of domestic cars is good evidence, besides "Vesta-Sport" was intended not only for a more dynamic movement in a straight line.

in summary

In total, the Lada Vesta 205 Sport used original parts. But it is yet unknown the main thing — the price. Most likely, the price will announce at the Moscow motor show, where there will be a presentation of hot new items.
