It's hard to believe but Lada still lives. Due to the current political situation, the brand is currently likely to gain more, at the latest when Putin stops the import of all European and American goods (even automobiles) should Lada be the beneficiary.

The old Granata who is currently following the competition should be replaced by the lighter but larger Vesta. For the Vesta passes as a race car Lada had to tune him properly. In detail, that means, front and rear were wider mudguards installed including vents behind the wheel arches.
Also, the hood has these openings, so that the aerodynamics is better, the front and rear apron in the typical WTCC style adapted. That means, integrated spoiler and diffuser as well as a noticeable spoiler on the boot lid. The power comes from a 1,6 liter four-cylinder with about 380PS.
