GAZ-51, which accelerates to 205 km / h
According to the owners of the car, the truck is designed to participate in rally racing. The crew of Eric Vaas and Kaido Vilu performs at the GAZ-51. To participate in the competition, the car had to be redone. The metal body was changed to carbon to reduce the weight of the car. The body is equipped with reinforced safety arches, preserving the life of drivers in case of accidents. Bucket seats are a welcome addition to the crew, who have to spend hours inside the truck cab.
However, the engine is the most attractive component of the car. The V-shaped eight accelerates the 47-year-old truck to 205 km / h. The owners are silent about the stuffing and electronics, but there is an opinion that a turbocharged representative of the Mercedes-benz plant is hiding under the hood. It is possible that after the exhibition the owners will share information in order to eliminate the rumors. In the meantime, GAZ-51 pleases visitors to the exhibition who like taking pictures and posting pictures on Instagram against the backdrop of a retro car.
