VAZ-21061- engine VAZ-2103 with a volume of 1500 cm3. Initially, this index was supposed to denote special version for Canada, which provided for the equipment with special bumpers - aluminum, without fangs, with overlays and tips made of black plastic.

VAZ-21062 - export modification VAZ-2106 right-hand drive.

VAZ-21063- the VAZ-21011 engine of an improved configuration, with an oil pressure sensor and with an electric fan instead of a belt-driven impeller (in a variant, a belt drive was allowed).

VAZ-21064- export modification of the VAZ-21061 with a right-hand drive.

VAZ-21065- a modernized modification with improved equipment, produced in 1990 - 2001. Differed from the base model by a more powerful generator, five-speed gearbox gears, reducer rear axle With gear ratio 3.9, contactless system ignition, Solex carburetor (21053-1107010), halogen headlights, seat upholstery and headrests, as well as standard rear fog lamp and electric heating rear window. Complete set 21065-01 was equipped with an engine from model 2103.

VAZ-21066- export modification of the VAZ-21063 with a right-hand drive.

VAZ-21067- assembly "IzhAvto". The VAZ-21067 engine, which differs from the base one in the presence of a fuel injection system with a catalytic converter, which ensured compliance with Euro-2 toxicity standards.

VAZ-21068- was released as a carrier of units for the period of fine-tuning the new VAZ-2108 and VAZ-21083 engines.

VAZ-21069- cars were made for special services. Outwardly, it is completely identical to the VAZ-2106, but with a two-section RPD VAZ-411 with a capacity of 120 hp. Since 1983, a VAZ-413 engine with a power of 140 hp could be installed, and since 1997, a universal RPD for rear-wheel drive and front-wheel drive VAZ-415.

VAZ-2106 "Tourist"- a pickup truck with a tent built into the body, created by order of the technical directorate. The project was rejected by the head management of the plant, and the only silver copy was repainted red and subsequently used as an internal technical technical.

VAZ-2106 "Half past six"- the only copy made by special order received from L. I. Brezhnev or someone from his entourage after demonstrating the experimental VAZ-2107 to the top leadership of the USSR in 1979. In addition to export bumpers, it differed in seats and a radiator grill from 2107, as well as hood modified for its installation.

Passenger has a drive to rear axle, body type sedan (four-door). This model is a continuation model range, which began with the no less famous "penny". The predecessor of the "six" is the VAZ 2103 car. If you compare them, you can find many similarities. The first year, Zhiguli "six" and "troika" were even produced at the AvtoVAZ plant at the same time.

But in 1977, history begins, which completely replaced its predecessor both from the assembly line and from the market. The six was equipped with several types of engines: 1.6 l (80 hp), 1.5 l (74 hp), 1.3 l (64 hp). The history of the car has three decades, during this time a lot has changed in it, though not all for the better.

The main thing is that the appearance remained, exactly the same as motorists liked. At the end of 2001, AvtoVAZ completely closed the conveyor on which the "six" was produced. It was converted for the production of a more promising and modern "ten". But the management could not afford to close the VAZ 2106 project, so the model was produced at IZH-Auto until 2006.

Differences VAZ 2106 from its predecessors

The style center of the Volga Automobile Plant in 1974 began to develop a new project, which originally bore the name 21031. It is from here that the history of the famous VAZ 2106 car begins, which lasted 30 years. Just recently, a modification of the “penny”, VAZ 21011, was developed, so we decided not to fantasize much about the name. The requirements for the model included the following:

• reduction in the number of parts coated with chrome;
• improved optics with minimal design changes.

Appearance is a classic of the time. A lot of fashionable at that time black plastic in the exterior. V. Antipin developed the design of the car, and V. Stepanov designed it, which were subsequently used on other models. Compared with the "troika", then the "six" received the following changes in appearance:

• modified bumpers;
• wheel caps have become different;
• the cladding of the front of the car has improved significantly;
• there were repeaters of direction indicators on the sides;
• grilles for ventilation in the rear pillars;
• and most importantly, the emblem of the Zhiguli plant appeared.

The interior of the model has also undergone changes:

• door upholstery and armrests;
• on the front seats, the headrests can be adjusted in a vertical plane;
• alarms appeared in the controls;
• on the right hand is a switch that allows you to control the windshield washer;
• lighting dashboard can be adjusted in brightness using a special rheostat;
• low level indicator brake fluid in a jar.

The classic VAZ 2106 in those years also had a luxury package, which differed from a simple one in the presence of a radio, a rear window heater and a rear fog lamp.

Engine and transmission

Especially for the new model, the 2103 engine was redone. The diameter of each cylinder was increased by 3 mm, and this gave an increase in volume of almost 0.3 liters. As a result, the working volume became equal to 1.6 liters. The torque increased by 12 percent, but it was not possible to achieve 80 hp. With. Everything rested on the design of the intake system, which the experts decided not to change. Therefore, the VAZ classic has many interchangeable components, which simplifies repairs.

The history of the checkpoint is also interesting, because for the "six" its own box was developed, which a little later began to be installed on the Niva SUVs. By analogy with the car of the third model, the “six” was decided to be produced in two versions with smaller engines. If you spend detailed overview model, you can see that in the body there are mounts and holes for the pedals and steering wheel on the passenger side.

The model was also produced for export to countries with left-hand traffic. December 1975 is the beginning of the era of "sixes", it was then that the first test car rolled off the VAZ assembly line. After almost 3 months, he got into the flow, and by the end of 1976, it was the VAZ 2106 that became the three millionth car. So many Zhiguli cars were produced by the plant during its short existence.

History of changes in model 2106 over the years of production

The entire history of the model has many changes in appearance and interior. True, they are all very small. Those who are interested in restoring a VAZ 2106 car to its original appearance should look at the year of manufacture. Only then can the machine be restored. So, after 1980, all cars began to work on Ozone carburetors.

When the "troika" left the assembly line, the VAZ 2106 began to change the moldings. Instead of chromium, plastic ones were used, on wheel arches there was no edging, the reflectors that had become familiar disappeared from the rear fenders. Even the nameplate, which originally had an eye-catching cherry background, has been drastically changed to black. The chrome-plated grilles on the ventilation holes were replaced with plastic ones.

By the end of the 80s. the VAZ 2106 car has already undergone a lot of changes, it was possible to buy a car that was somewhat worse in functionality than it was produced a decade earlier. Instead of lanterns, cheap reflectors appeared in the doors. It's convenient, but not as pretty.

Rear drum brakes came from the "five" in the VAZ 2106, and the caps from the wheels left, as did the visors between the bumpers and the body to protect against dirt. Early 90s pointer parking brake began to burn constantly, although before that, when the handbrake was pressed, a relay was turned on, causing the lamp to flash.

The machine throughout its history has become simpler and cheaper to manufacture. They even tried to remove the moldings, although they were a peculiar feature of the "six". However, they were quickly returned to their place. By the end of the 90s, the VAZ 2106 car had changed a lot, most of the chrome parts disappeared from it, since they were very expensive to manufacture.

Only inertial seat belts began to be used, and the steering wheel was taken from more modern modifications of the VAZ 2105 car. Even power windows could be ordered if desired: they would be installed from the factory. In 2000, the history of the model continued at IZH-Auto. It was during these years, the last for the "six", that absolutely all chrome parts were abolished: the radiator grille and the rims on the rear lights. Prices for cars continued to grow, although the quality of the car became noticeably worse.

It is curious that the VAZ-2107 Zhiguli (LADA 2107), the second-generation VAZ luxury, appeared simultaneously with the front-wheel drive Sputnik / Samara family, and this was not a mistake. Most motorists in the USSR were still distrustful of front wheel drive, in connection with which it was the "seven" that turned out to be the most prestigious VAZ model in the 1980s. And not only in the USSR, but also in Eastern Europe. She was even called "Russian Mercedes" or "KhBM" ("I want to be" Mercedes ").

VAZ-2107 - video review

VAZ-2107 - video drag racing

Unlike previous suites - VAZ-2103 and VAZ-2106 - new model this segment was less different from the "norm" VAZ-2105. So, her body differed only in a more aggressive shape of the radiator grille and rear lights. Seats appeared in the cabin original design with integrated head restraints and cold air deflectors (in winter it was possible to send hot air to the legs, and a jet of cold air to the face). The main innovations are more powerful engine volume of 1.6 liters and a capacity of 76 liters. with., as well as a 5-speed gearbox, which first appeared on the "classic" model of the Volga Automobile Plant.

Two years later, the range was replenished with a station wagon based on the VAZ-2105, which received the index 2104. When it was created, the main principle was minimum costs to change - in comparison with the prototype. Hence some of the features: for example, the station wagon body is less rigid than the sedan, although for operational needs it should be the other way around. The "Four" quite quickly replaced the previous station wagon VAZ-2102 and for more than 15 years, until the appearance of the VAZ-2111, it remained the only model from Tolyatti with this type of body.

Not so happened with the "seven". In theory, with the advent of the VAZ-2107, it was necessary to discontinue the previous luxury VAZ-2106, but for some reason the models continued to be produced in parallel. In the 1990s VAZ-2107 retained the position of a luxury model, and only in the new century this position became ambiguous. The car could no longer be considered a luxury model, since it was obsolete relative to the VAZ-2110 and was much cheaper than the latter.

By this time, the VAZ-2107 Zhiguli (LADA 2107) was equipped with an engine with central fuel injection, which made the car the fastest Volga classic of all time. In combination with an aggressive "timeless" design, this gave her an image inexpensive car for family youth with sports inclinations. And yet, AvtoVAZ understood that the backward model was harmful to the company's image, although it attracted many buyers. Therefore, the plant began a policy of "removal" of the VAZ-2107. In 2002, the license for its production was sold to the Ukrainian LuAZ, and in 2003 the main production was transferred from VAZ to the Syzran plant RosLada. Since then, the "seven" has been gathering anywhere - in Egypt, Chechnya, Ukraine, Izhevsk - but not in Togliatti.

The Quartet has undergone similar "migrations". Now these two models are the last Russian heirs of the Fiat 124, remaining on the assembly line and in demand for invincible low price. Over a long life, the cars were repeatedly modernized, and after the conveyor "death" of their ancestor - the VAZ-2105 - they became even more "related". Now both cars are painted the same color scheme, in which there are many variants of metallic paints, have the same electrical systems, seats and engines, as well as a "seven" radiator grille (initially, the VAZ-2104 was designed as the VAZ-2105).

It used to be called Zhiguli, now Lada. Zhiguli should be associated with 01 to 07 Everything from 08 is already Lada.

It's like that's what they call Zhiguli now ... you can just call it basins ...

What is Lada, what is Zhiguli - trade marks owned by JSC AvtoVAZ.

Lada is Zhigulki after 2108 or 2106. I don’t remember exactly

Yes Yes! Lada is one of the Zhiguli models

without a market. of course, only this is an old name, now they say according to the model, seven or prior

Lada car name VAZ, Zhiguli old name

yes, all frets bugles!

Lada is the name of a car for export Zhigugi in European does not sound very euphonious ....

Zhiguli are models of VAZ cars, ranging from VAZ-2101 to VAZ-2107, the rest are Lada ...

Zhiguli up to six after VAZ and after Lada

It's a Nissan Laurel :-)

in the early eighties they began to call LADA, before that ZHIGULI.

VAZ is: OKA, LADA, ZHIGULI, NIVA.

yes it's all the same

The curb weight of a vehicle is the mass of the vehicle with standard equipment, various consumables (oil, coolant, etc.), but minus the mass of passengers, driver and luggage.

Dry weight equals curb weight, but without fuel, some equipment and Supplies. That is, this is the mass of an unloaded car without fuel.

Permissible Gross Weight is the weight of the maximum laden vehicle specified by the manufacturer. Sometimes it is called the maximum permitted mass. It is better not to go beyond this indicator, unless, of course, you want your car to last a very long time. The increased load has a negative effect on the car body and suspension parts.

How Zhiguli became Lada

Why are some VAZ cars called "Zhiguli" and others - "Lada"? My grandfather says that "Lada" is a "luxury" modification of the VAZ. Who came up with these names and what is encrypted in the logo?

When construction began in the Soviet Union in 1966 on a new plant for the production of small cars, it turned out that coming up with a name for it was almost as difficult as building workshops.

If you give the company a name by analogy with other allied auto giants (GAZ, KrAZ, MAZ), the abbreviation will turn out to be dissonant. This question, which was not the most important at that time, remained open, and in official documents the enterprise under construction was called the “Plant for the production of cars in the city of Togliatti”. The current name of the auto giant was involuntarily suggested by employees Fiat, with the technical assistance of which the Soviet construction was going on. To shorten the above phrase, the Italians began to write in their specifications "Plant on the Volga". Togliatti veterans recall that after that, from the beginning of 1967, the name “Volzhsky car factory"- VAZ.

And the whole country came up with the name of the car. An all-Union competition was announced, the results of which were summed up on November 1, 1968. Among the ten thousand proposed names, there were some that were not entirely appropriate: “Carnation”, “Argamak”, etc. One hundred options made it to the “final”. And the godfather of the mass Soviet small car, they say, was the then secretary of the regional party committee, who approved the name Zhiguli for the VAZ-2101 and other models of the "classics" - after the name of the mountainous area near Tolyatti.

"Geographical" names were often given to products Soviet car industry, but soon an overlay “surfaced” with the Zhiguli. When they began to prepare export deliveries of the VAZ-2101, it turned out that in some European languages ​​​​there is a very similar sounding word "gigolo", which was called a young man leading an anti-social lifestyle. Then, in the department of foreign economic relations of VAZ, they came up with a foreign name for the Zhiguli - Lada (Lada). This primordially Russian word means "beloved", it is simply written and sounds good in all languages. This name became a foreign pseudonym "Zhiguli", and with the renewal of the model range, it began to be used on domestic market. Starting from last year, all VAZ cars are called "Lada".

Together with the VAZ-2101, the trademark of Togliatti cars was also born: a boat under sail, made in the form of the letter B - the capital letter of the name of the plant. Since then, the emblem on the Lad radiators has changed several times, but the stylized boat on the Volga smooth surface has always been preserved.

New "Kopeyka" VAZ 2101 Zhiguli 2017, price

The appearance on the network of spy photos of the new "Penny" VAZ 2101 came as a surprise to many. Modern design, more than worthy specifications, a possible release by the end of 2017 - all this caused an informational stir. What should be expected from a domestic manufacturer?

Appearance analysis

The exterior of the new car is in many ways similar to classic American Mustang models and new Mercedes developments. Appearance is a harmonious combination of retro style and aerodynamic requirements. It is worth noting the smoothness of the lines, the low landing of the car, the enlarged wheel arches.

When analyzing a photo of the new "Kopeyka" 2101, the following features can be distinguished:

• recognition of the classical form;
• stylish grille;
• minimalist rear design - square lights, straight lines;
• unique stamping of the body on the sides;
• new shape of the headlights with reflectors;
• wide air intake;
• good rear view.

Photos of the interior have not yet hit the Web, so it is impossible to evaluate it. If it matches the external style of the model, the interior should harmoniously combine classic controls, convenience and new technologies.

Possible characteristics of the new "Penny"

There is little information about the configuration and configuration options for the 2101 Zhiguli 2017. Judging by the latest data, this will be the most powerful model from the entire Lada line. How much this corresponds to reality - time will tell.

To date, the following information is known:

• Power point. Power - 200 hp, turbocharged.
• Fuel consumption - 6 liters. in the urban cycle.
• Gearbox - mechanics or "automatic".

Body dimensions practically do not differ from the original model. But it will be possible to judge this only after the official release.

Release date and price

Judging by external data and known characteristics, the price of the new Kopeika VAZ 2101 Zhiguli in 2017 will be above the average. According to available information, the cost and the start of production will be announced only at the end of this year.

The price should depend on the following factors:

• possible configuration options;
• the cost of the model;
• characteristics of the materials used;
• options installed for a fee.

After the official presentation, the release date of the new model should be announced. Then the first samples will go to car dealerships. And then, based on the available information and real reviews, it will be possible to judge the prospects of the new "Kopeyka".

exposure

All the above information, including photos, is nothing but a free flight of fancy. AvtoVAZ does not plan to resume production of 2101 in any version. This was announced earlier, when the manufacturer was preparing to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the release of the first model.

To expose this news, it is enough to find the source of one of the photographs, compare it and a copy.

The next factor is the technical capabilities of Avto VAZ. The existing equipment is not designed for the mass production of such body elements. The maximum that a manufacturer is capable of is to create a prototype. But there is no information about this on his official website. If the car really existed, there would be an official presentation or news.

For a final refutation, you can analyze the technical nuances of the description:

• Power plant 200 hp turbocharged. Alas, such units are not produced by the plant. This will not allow the height of the cylinder blocks.
• Wheelbase. For this model, it is necessary to develop a fundamentally new basis. Existing bases, judging by the photo, will not work.
• Fuel consumption. Leading European manufacturers cannot achieve such results - 6 liters per 100 km for a 200 hp engine. These values ​​contradict each other.

Similar fake news can be made on the basis of an independent supercar design project from AvtoVAZ Voron.

In fact, this image and all of the above are nothing more than skillful work in a graphics editor.

Only once the manufacturer showed the draft of the new "Kopeyka".

But this car remained only in a draft version. Therefore, it is inappropriate to talk about the appearance of an updated version of 2101. It is enough to compare really spy photos of any new model of a European manufacturer with the presented images.

VAZ remains the most beloved and unpretentious machine, which is not inferior to its positions since the 70s of the 20th century.

It is very difficult to imagine modern roads without these eternal "workers" regularly traveling around the cities and villages of our great and beloved homeland. Regularly romp cars and their absence, which, of course, adds respect to that.

How much does a VAZ-2101 weigh with and without an engine: specifications

The technical characteristics of this vehicle depend on wear and mileage, which is determined, of course, in mileage. If you regularly take the car through the service station, change the oil on time, take care of the car, then problems can arise only with outdated and tuning engines in terms of increasing their power. So, out of 955 kg of the total weight of the car, 114 kg are, in fact, the engine.

Since the VAZ has been produced since 1970, the history of almost 50 years consists not only of changes in the names of the plant, brands and models of cars produced, but also that technical characteristics and parameters similarly undergo certain changes. If we consider the size of the engine, it's time to say that innovations are taking place in the direction of evolution. Evolutionary processes in this area of ​​mechanical engineering increased its volume from 1.2 liters to 1.8 liters, and through trial and error allowed the VAZ car model to turn into a competitive product of the Russian automobile industry, which even now does not look like scrap metal.

In 1966, the Italian automobile concern Fiat launched the Fiat 124 model car.

Since communication with Italian comrades during the Soviet era made it possible to talk about mutually beneficial cooperation between the two states, in 1970 the Soviet conveyor produced the first model of the VAZ-2101 of the Zhiguli brand.

How much does the VAZ-2101 weigh: characteristics

The first "Lada" of this model have a bare weight of 955 kilograms, of which 114 was the weight of the engine. This is exactly the answer to the question: how much does the VAZ-2101 weigh.

The car's gearbox happens:

• four-stage;
• five-speed.

Weighs 26.2 kg with clutch, shift lever and clutch release fork. These data must be taken into account when replacing a particular part.

The flywheel, which has a native weight of 6.873 kg in the hands of its owners, often reduces weight by tuning up to 3.6 kg. This contributes to maneuverability and increase the speed of the car on the road.

The “classic” is for sale in a used condition, since its release is completed, but, of course, according to documents containing the owner’s data and technical specifications car. Assembled parts of the VAZ-2101 car are sold everywhere.

VAZ has retained its form and love of the public, belonging to all segments of the population, to this day. Volzhsky Automobile is not going to stop there, producing more and more new modifications of the Zhiguli. Considering how much each weighs component VAZ car, it will become clear that the total mass of each of them is approximately the same.

It is worth noting that of all the Soviet cars, only the VAZ-2101 was delivered to Japan. The popularity of the VAZ is not least associated with the name of Kimi Raikkonen, who achieved the first victories on this particular car. The father of the famous racer considered this car the most reliable.

If we deal with the weight of the VAZ, we can say that over its entire fifty-year history, the weight of cars of this brand has ranged from a ton to a ton of three hundred kilograms, but, in fact, has not undergone major and significant changes.

Almost all modern cars sedan type are equipped with a carrier-type body, the VAZ 2101 is no exception in this case. What does it mean load-bearing body, you ask? This means that the steel box of the body is not only a comfortable container for passengers, the driver and their luggage, but also “carries” all the elements, components and assemblies of the car in combination.

The body of the VAZ 2101 perceives not only the static loads of the elements attached to it, it also resists their effects in the process of movement (in dynamics). This property of the car frame is called torsional stiffness, which is about 7300 Nm / deg on a “penny”.

ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!

The condition of its bottom, sills and roof, which are interconnected by the front panel, pillars of door and window openings, and a transverse panel, greatly affects this indicator of strength and rigidity of the body of the VAZ 2101 luggage compartment. You can see for yourself the integrity of the geometry, and hence the general condition of your car, by taking the dimensions of the body of the VAZ 2101 with your own hands and comparing them with the data that the car repair manual contains.

What follows from the above? And the fact that body fatigue directly affects not only the control points for attaching components and assemblies, which the VAZ 2101 body diagram above shows, also manifests itself in the “purity” of the geometry of its side and front openings. The distribution of loads over the body in dynamics occurs as follows: from the suspension elements in front, vibration and shocks pass to the cross member and then to the subframe, after which to the mudguard area and the front shield, which are already load-bearing elements of the body. At the back, approximately the same picture occurs, only in a shorter form, that is, without the participation of the mount power unit, immediately from the suspension to the car body.

VAZ 2101 body scheme

As you understand, with this type of body and the operation of its suspension, what the car frame itself is made of plays an important role in the stability and safety of the car. It is clear that the more we strengthen weak spots body, the more rigid and stable it will be, but this is the whole point of the question with a catch: how much does the body of the VAZ 2101 weigh?
By strengthening the car frame, we increase its mass, thereby increasing the load on its structural parts. Vicious circle? Not at all, that's why smart people in institutes teach such a science as strength of materials, having studied which design engineers rationally selected the thickness of materials, their ratio of sizes and cross sections. In the end, all these factors helped to get a high-strength VAZ 2101 frame at the exit.

1	0.7 mm - hood
2	1.0 mm - Mudguards
3	1.0 mm - front panel
4	0.9 mm - floor front
5	0.9 mm - roof
6	0.9 mm - floor, back
7	0.7 mm - trunk
8	0.7 mm - rear "empennage"
9	0.7 mm - door panels outside
10	0.9 mm - thresholds
11	0.9 mm - front "feathering"

To save weight and reduce costs, non-load-bearing parts (luggage compartment covers and engine compartment) are made of thinner metal. The thickness of the steel sheets that make up the most important elements for the strength of the body is about one millimeter, which is no less (one might even say more) than that of other, similar in class, modern cars.

The front and rear “feathers” of the “penny” are welded to the body, which made it possible to introduce them on an equal footing into the carrier circuit of the car, which also contributed to a decrease in its weight, which is 955 kilograms.

But this is its total mass, to find out how much the body of the VAZ 2101 weighs, the following layout will help us:

• 140 kilograms - the weight of the power unit with attachments;
• 26 kilograms - gearbox;
• 10 kilograms - cardan shaft;
• 52 kilograms - rear axle;
• 7 kilograms - radiator;
• 280 kilograms - actually the weight of the body of the VAZ 2101.

Somehow not a particularly impressive number. And if it is multiplied by all cars produced in all the years of production (from 1970 to 1988) in the amount of 4.85 million? Agree, here every saved gram plays a significant role!

But not everything is so simple. The durability of the body is by no means in the thickness of the metal sheet from which it is made, it depends on how well the manufacturer (in our case, the owner himself) carried out anti-corrosion protection.

As a rule, after welding operations, in front of the spray booth, the body of the VAZ 2101 was subjected to phosphatization, during which its entire surface was subjected to a chemically stable phosphate film. In addition to this, the result was fixed with a layer of primer applied using electrophoresis, which allowed the primer to create a uniform coating in the most inaccessible places. The bottom of the car, in turn, was covered with a layer of special durable mastic, which reliably protected it from the effects of an aggressive external environment.

All of the above, in combination, contributed to the fact that the VAZ 2101 became popular not only in its time, but confidently “holds the brand” of a reliable hard worker to this day.

By the way, the “penny” was one of the first cars of the famous Formula 1 pilot Kimi Raikkonen, whose father was extremely attached to him for his unpretentiousness and reliability.
