ZIL 130 overtook foreign cars - this is not fiction, but reality. You just need to believe in miracles, and then they sometimes happen.
Legend of the Soviet car industry
The legendary ZIL 130 is a Soviet and Russian truck designed and manufactured by the Likhachev automobile plant in Moscow. It is rightfully one of the most popular cars in the history of the Soviet automobile industry. Its carrying capacity is 5-6 tons. This medium-duty truck was widely used in the national economy and the army, and was also safely exported. This car also has merits in the domestic cinema. He "played" in the films "Let Take Off!", "The Incredible Adventures of Italians in Russia", "Interception", "The Only One", "The City Accepted" and in other famous Soviet films, so beloved by the Russians.
Before starting an incredible story about how our "Zilok" overtakes the overseas "cool", it should be noted its brief technical characteristics. The truck has an 8-cylinder carburetor four-stroke V-shaped overhead valve engine with a capacity of 150 horsepower. It was also equipped with power steering and a synchronized 5-speed gearbox. This is an excellent workhorse, very hardy and trouble-free. But to suspect a car in "vertical races" is to cause a well-deserved laugh. But such incredible cases with this rare Soviet truck also happened.
ZIL-130 overtakes foreign cars
The famous video blogger AcademeG on the Internet tells and shows the story of how the truck overtook such rivals as the Porsche Cayman and BMW M2 in the race. In anticipation of this amazing victory, it should be noted that some metamorphoses have taken place with the truck. Namely: the filling at that time of the dump truck was not at all "native". The donor for it was the BMW X5M. All 700 horsepower were installed under the hood of the Zilka. In addition, the "muzzle" of the truck also "indulged" in re-styling. Homemade plastic front fins and bumper have made the front a lot lighter. To all this, one must add the driver's great desire to rehabilitate his native auto industry and not to lose face.
And in the end, both cool overseas foreign cars shamelessly lagged behind their competitor, nervously looking at his weighty ass with headlights. And even if they conjured a little with the motor, the result is important. Athletes also take doping. Well, thanks to the blogger who, by improving the truck, allowed her to win this strange battle, which made a splash. Well, we can't create our own Lamborghini Veneno yet. And what can be done here? We will not stop there, but continue to experiment with ZILs and GAZs. You look, the whole world is somewhere in a private workshop and we will create our own Russian and powerful supercar. In the meantime, the phrase "need for invention is cunning" will be relevant for a long time.
