AvtoVaz introduced the Lada Revolution 3 at the Paris Motor Show. We were quite sure that this is the last time we will hear about this concept, but as it turns out Russians are already working on the actual prototype. This prototype will likely be ready by Frankfurt Motor Show.

AvotVaz has big plans as they will be testing the protoype on the famous Nübrugring race track. To our knowledge this is going the be the first car by Russian automakers, that will be tested on the Nürburgring.

Sounds interesting how it looks compared to the concept, and of course how it handles the famous ring compared to other sports cars. According to LadaOnline.ru power comes from a 2.0-liter turbocharged Renault engine, that produces 245 hp. Car weighs less than one ton and should accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 5.9 seconds. Russians are comparing its performance to Porsche Cayman. Only time will tell what are the real life numbers and how it compares to the Cayman on ring times.

Currently AvtoVaz has not confirmed any plans about future production and prices. However, they hope the car can be produced in a limited series.
