When I bought this Lada, I was foolish, too))
But now, when I got smarter, I'm still not selling it.
This is a unique machine. This modification is made only for the needs of the KGB.
So this car has some historical value. There were made ​​around 1000 ones.
At the moment there are about 20-30 live ones (including 21059, 21069, 21019)...
My car is poorly preserved, so I decided to make it a car for track days))

A Lada with a Rotary, made specifically for the KGB, soo....
IN SOVIET RUSSIA, V8 STILL SLOW!
Consider this your official initiation, with an obligatory RX7club Lounge joke.

All joking aside, this is definitely odd, rare, quirky and awesome. Have you considered writing to Top Gear about your car? Something this out of the ordinary is bound to get their attention, especially in one of Jeremy Clarkson's "I went on the Internet and found this..." segments.

Yes, V8 in Russia really slow))
No, I do not want to write to Top Gear. They have a bias against the Soviet cars. I watched all of their stories about the Lada and other Soviet cars)) I like Top Gear, but I do not like their opinion of Russian cars.

Holy Moses. Very odd. And cool. And you should let Top Gear know about it so we can SEE IT IN GLORIOUS DETAIL.
Welcome!!

There are no special detailes in this car. Only engine maybe.
I can tell you about differences between 13B & vaz 4132.

4132 geometrically the same like 13B
But within the rotor housings other coating. It is not porous chrome.
4132 has the original front cover, front&rear hosings.
4132 has no ignition distributor. Instead of it there is a microprocessor igniton system))
4132 & 415 has 3mm apex in stock and TWIN side seals. Any crash of any seals excluded.

Russian motors often has problems with lubrication & oil system.
But there are cases that these motors drove over 185,000 miles))
