Anyone seen or heard anything about the Kalashnikov cv-1?

I just came across an article that sucked me in because it had a picture of a cool retro car... Except apparently it's not a retro car, it's apparently a new EV made by Kalashnikov, I kinda like it

 

Details are a bit light on at this stage, but it'll be interesting to see where this goes

I know that name. What else do they make?

 

I really like the lines of that wagon. Really like.

Not enough to move to russia though....

Thanks Nick.  Couldn't think of that for the life of me and I should have been able to

My first thought...

I kind of like it. If it works as well as the AK's, they should have a winner.

As long as it's not branded an assault wagon.

Kalashnikov has a presence here in Pennsylvania, which is mostly for import reasons for their firearms. It sort of reminds me of a Datsun 510 Wagon. Which isn't a bad thing.

I wonder if it's going to have high capacity batteries.

I like older boxy cars. I sometimes like modern cars with a retro looking design. That one looks good to me other than the triple headlights which makes me think of the Family Truckster.

Uhm... that's Urban Assault Vehicle

 

I bet it still works great if you cover it in mud.

That will increase the market for 7.62mm wrenches and sockets.

Interesting...the retro body looks cool but I doubt it drives or works all that well. The powertrain certainly looks good on paper though.

I didn't know they were building a car, all I've heard about lately is the Mech Warrior looking thing. I like it.

I hope you get a lot of likes, that sort of thing doesn’t come along often.

Actually, I don't think they make that.  Probably the AKM, though.
