I guess this could be the replacement for the Trabant

Russia Has A New Electric Car That's Totally Going To Destroy Tesla

It's over for you now, Elon Musk. The Amber is going to be unstoppable.

It's called the 'Lectric Lada!

Looks like someone misspelled “Humor Section”!

18 wheeler style running boards? How high up is this thing? ground clearance looks low, Is the battery pack made of lead acid batteries?

Russia is the real "Electric LadaLand!" LOL

She's a looker and sporting recovery hooks (not that it'll ever need them).

Thanks for the "Amber alert".
It looks very easy to clean.
It reminded me of a Robbin at first glance.

 

[walterjay]

Looks like it has super accessible doors.

Place sanctions on this one already for god's sake.

Getting past the click bait title, IMO the car is horribly ugly.
Collin Woodard must be taking LSD combined with a fair dose of crack and a bottle of vodka to give the kind of description that he does...
"the gorgeous styling and perfect proportions, there is nothing at all that anyone could possibly say about the Amber that is negative. The rest of the world should probably just stop making cars at the point because there is no way anyone will ever come up with anything more stylish than what you’re looking at here. It’s an absolute masterpiece of design that will absolutely go down in history alongside the Ferrari 250 GTO, Jaguar E-Type, and Mercedes-Benz 300SL".

I think he's being sarcastic.

Definitely a contender for ugliest new car model right with the cyber truck, its a 50/50.

I would rather have it, than anything tesla makes.
Probably priced in a realistic way also.
Drive it for 7 years, scrap it, buy a new one.
Do that 5 times, likely still spent less than a tesla, and get a new vehicle regularly.
Having driven 2 tesla cars, they were not impressive in the slightest. Maybe someday the allure of tesla will reach me, but hasn't yet.

I am glad so many of you are getting the same "chuckle reaction" that I got when I first saw this. This reminded me also of a joke told by Bob Lutz......what do you call 4 Pontiac Azteks on a dealer's lot? Answer; A lifetime supply.....

Looks like Wonderbug's inbred cousin.

Who would steal the design of the Fiat Multipla?

Or a grouper mated with an HHR panel van!

Russia is using smartphones for navigation in their missiles and drones.

Russia also displayed a robotic "combat dog" with a gun mounted on it at a weapons convention that turned out to be a consumer grade toy you could buy on ali baba.

This monstrosity is probably vaporware unless they are using basic tech like from a Baker Electric:

I don’t think that’s fair to Lada’s lol

Thats to facilitate recharging via Tow.
