Another 1991 NAMI prototype, a three-door, five-seat station wagon with an engine from Tavria, had a convertible body.

Compi luggage compartment volume ranged from 0.75 to 1.8 m³.

The front seats rotated on their axis – it was indicated that passengers could turn towards each other at stops.

The middle part of the rear seat moved forward slightly, which facilitated the placement of three rear passengers – no one in the world offered such a thing.

The air suspension made it possible to change the vehicle’s ground clearance from the initial 125 mm. Fuel consumption in the urban cycle – 6 liters per 100 km.

The year of construction of the machine makes it clear that it was only one prototype.

Mikhail Kolodochkin has been collecting unusual facts from the history of technology for many years. For example, do you know why Zaporozhets are made with two internal combustion engines and four-wheel drive?
