I wouldn't say frightening, but the difference would definitely be noticable. I remember after I got my driver's license (I had lessons in a 2010 Polo 1.2 Diesel with 75hp) I got to drive my father's car, a 2003 Honda Accord 2.4 with 190hp. That car was a lot heavier than the Polo, but it was so difficult in the beginning to not launch forward when pressing the gas pedal. It felt like 190hp was like 300hp.


I got that experience vice versa. We went to shopping trip to Poland two years ago or so, and alternator in car broke down, that forced belt to split in half.... just before country borders (literally 10 meters), tow truck rescured us (hopefully for in-country tows under certain distance it was free, so we were very lucky), and as a replacement vehicle from Renault dealership we got Thalia.

Laguna - 1.6, 107hp, roughly 1350 kg
Thalia - 1.2, 75hp, roughly 1000 kg or less
My dad usually drive as a complete lunatic, but amount of force that pushed me back with every acceleration was huge. Laguna with hammer down dont act like this, you dont feel much acceleration in it.

Yes that is true, but if you don't consider the sport model, it still is the most powerful, which I think is quite a feat. 89hp for a diesel engine in 1989 is also quite formidable I think.

From that point of view yeah. I dont remember much of this car (7,5 years old when it was sold), but after riding 1st gen Thalia with basic 1.2 engine that had similar amount of power and weight like our 1.4 Chamade, it must be frightnening to ride Chamade with more horsepower than basic 60.

Am I the only one who is surprised that the most powerful engine on this late eighties car is a diesel engine?

See "other models", the most powerful one has its separate page.

Is it just me or anyone else is having issues with WCS recently? Vertical gaps between collumns in car/engines are gone (EDIT very easy to missfill different collumn), lot of bars in "Made for:" are missing...
And as a bonus, I cant load up WCS nor IGCD page quite often, when every other pages work just fine.

cdn.meme.am/instances/500x/66840973.jpg - pretty much what I am doing right now.
It is based on good old Trabi 601, but it has body from different material and I think the engine was supposed to be a diesel one.

Mainly for export, it have slightly different design - cooling flaps in front of doors, different bumpers that are semi-unified with body, and in inside it have stickshift under steering wheel, opposite to 1101, which it have on floor.

How many of these were made?

As far as I know only one, a white panel van - that is why I didnt uploaded it. Not sure why Moskvitch made these 2 years afterwards.

Too bad it just a prototype. Driving a 742 in winter without packing cement bags to the front sounds like blessing.

If they were making this, you would need cement in back though...

No, they are not scrapping them. Propably you mistook it with WrakRace :)

Phew, I was hoping for that, I saw rare Trabant 1.1 in pictures. The WrakRace (in CZ Autoštouchy) is different from what I meant - it was a race across europe in cheap old cars, but they scrapped the cars afterwards. WrakRace is more like demolition derby with road-illegal cars.

As we speak about expeditions.. do you know Złombol races? Every year group of 'junky' cars (suggested value up to 1000€) join the race across the Europe to collect money from sponsors for orphanages. - zlombol.pl/index.php/en/

Do they scrap the cars at the end? If no, then I dont know about this particular race. Seems interesting.

Although it doesnt look like Ocelot is legitimate brand, it is. Apart from butt-ugly Ocelot TAZ 1500/07 they produce small number 1997+1998 version of TAZ 1500 since 1999 + they are restoring the old Skoda 1203/TAZ Skoda 1203/TAZ 1500.
