kalashnikov‘s supercar is actually based on the IZh 2125 kombi, a  russian compact car from the seventies produced by soviet manufacturer IZh. the electric vehicle comes in a pale blue color, and it is said that it will come with a number of complex systems and technology that will allow it to compete against big electric car developers. so far, no specifications or price have been unveiled by the company.

  • I suspect that designboom is having its leg pulled. This is not ‘retro styling’, this is a home reno using stuff from a parts bin. Oh come on, Seriously ?

  • its a joke, right? this is a bad tunning of a Lada or a 1974 Fiat. why the big air opening in the front if it is electric? 🙂

  • this is hilarious – it’s not even road worthy! side indicators are missing – and no interiors. like eating cardboard for breakfast. I do like the retro effect though.
