Fun, Cheap & Surprisingly Fast Classic Car | ZAZ 968 | [4K]

The ZAZ 968, a Soviet classic from the Cold War era, stands out for its distinctive design and affordability. Born out of a desire to compete with Western car manufacturers, it was produced in Ukraine to showcase Soviet capabilities. Despite quality issues, it became the most affordable option for many, featuring a unique rear-engine placement similar to the Volkswagen Beetle. The car’s interior is simple, reflecting its affordable nature. Driving the ZAZ involves two engine start options and a 4-gear gearbox with a mirroring effect. Despite its potential for racing, the original double exhaust creates a loud cabin. The luggage compartment in the front houses a unique autonomous heater, though it had occasional fire risks. Designed for off-road use, the ZAZ’s rear-engine position and low chassis weight made it successful in navigating challenging terrains. Despite its quirks, including noise and maintenance issues, the ZAZ 968 holds a special place in the hearts of its owners, symbolizing childhood memories and the golden days of the past.
