forward gear - helical, with constant engagement;

Reverse - straight

VAZ-2101 "Zhiguli"- Soviet rear-wheel drive a car small class with a sedan body. The first model produced at the Volzhsky Automobile Plant.

On the basis of the VAZ-2101, the so-called “classic” family of VAZ cars was created, which was on the assembly line until September 17, 2012.

For the release of this model in May 1972, the Volzhsky Automobile Plant was awarded the International Golden Mercury Award. In 2000, VAZ-2101 was named the best domestic car XX century according to the results of an all-Russian survey conducted by the magazine “Zarulyom”. Over the entire period of production (from 1970 to 1988), the Volzhsky Automobile Plant produced 4.85 million VAZ-2101 cars of all modifications with a sedan body.

History of creation

In the summer of 1966, the first acquaintance of Soviet specialists with the Italian car took place. During tests on Soviet roads, the cars revealed serious problems with the durability of the body and rear disc brakes. Low ground clearance and the lack of towing lugs made operating cars on country roads problematic. The dissatisfaction of Soviet engineers was also caused by the lower-beam engine - absolutely unpromising from the point of view of further development of the design. All comments of Soviet specialists were taken into account by Italian designers.

The chassis and transmission have undergone no less serious changes. As a result, the VAZ-2101 began to differ from the Fiat 124 in brakes (drum mechanisms appeared at the rear, calmly carrying bad roads), suspension (the front was reinforced, the rear was completely replaced with a more modern one with five reaction rods instead of a reaction tube), cardan transmission (an open shaft with an intermediate support was introduced), a reinforced clutch and a modified design of synchronizers in the gearbox. Even in terms of comfort, the VAZ-2101 turned out to be better than its prototype thanks to the ability to transform the seats into full-fledged berths, which were subsequently appreciated by thousands of owners. It is interesting that some innovations were applied in the “zero-first” for the purpose of unification with the luxury model Fiat 124S (VAZ-2103). First of all, these are safety external door handles. The VAZ-2101 also received an exterior rear view mirror. IN total Over 800 changes were made to the design of the Fiat 124, after which it received the name Fiat 124R. The “Russification” of the Fiat 124 turned out to be extremely useful for the FIAT company itself, which has accumulated unique information about the reliability of its cars in extreme operating conditions.

The first six VAZ-2101 cars were assembled on April 19, 1970, and the rhythmic work of the main conveyor began in August. By the end of the year, 21,530 units had been assembled in Togliatti; in 1971, this number increased to 172,175 cars, and the peak of VAZ-2101 production occurred in 1973, when 379,007 units were assembled. The plant reached its design capacity in 1974.

origin of name

Normal 1966

It should be noted that the VAZ first-borns turned out to be the first Soviet cars to which a new industry document was applied - normal OH 025270-66, which regulates the classification and designation system of rolling stock: each new model of car or trailer is assigned an index consisting of four digits, where the first two the numbers indicate the class of the vehicle (trailer) and its purpose. The second two digits are the model. Model modifications have an additional fifth digit indicating the serial number of the modification. The sixth digit is the type of execution: 1 - for cold climates, 6 - export version for temperate climates, 7 - export version for tropical climates, 8 and 9 - reserve for others export modifications. Some cars have the prefix 01, 02, 03, etc. in their designation through a dash, indicating that the model or modification is transitional or has additional equipment. The digital index is usually preceded by the letter designation of the plant that developed or produced this model. For example, the index of the VAZ-21011 car is deciphered as follows: VAZ - manufacturer: Volzhsky Automobile Plant; 21 - small class car with an engine from 1200 to 1800 cm³; 01 is the first model registered in this class; 1 - first modification base car, characterized by the installation of a different engine, in in this case volume 1300 cm³.

"Zhiguli"

There is an opinion that the name “Zhiguli” was born thanks to a competition announced by the magazine “Zarulyom” in August 1968 [ ] . However, according to the testimony of VAZ veterans, the name “Zhiguli”, proposed by designer A. M. Cherny, was approved by the director of the plant V. N. Polyakov at the beginning of 1967. At the same time, it was proposed to FIAT to develop a decorative lettering for the rear body panel.

Popularly, at different times, two nicknames were “stuck” to the VAZ-2101: first - “unit”, and already at the end of the 1980s, when the model was no longer considered prestigious, - “kopek”.

Modifications

Bulk:

Right hand drive:

• For export to countries with left-hand traffic, the Volzhsky Automobile Plant has mastered the production of two versions of the Zhiguli - VAZ-21012 And VAZ-21014(based on VAZ-2101 and VAZ-21011). They were distinguished by a reinforced suspension spring for the right front wheel, since when the controls were moved to the right side, the distribution of the vehicle’s weight turned out to be uneven. Years of production: 1974-1982.

Limited series:

• VAZ-21015 "Karat"- modification for special services, equipped with a VAZ-2106 engine, an additional gas tank, springs rear suspension from VAZ-2102, points for installing special equipment.

• VAZ-21018- VAZ-311 rotary engine (single-section), 70 l. With.;
• VAZ-21019- VAZ-411 rotary engine (two-section), 120 hp. With.;
• VAZ-2101 pickup- option with a pickup body, which had a load capacity of 250-300 kg

Special:

The export version of the car was called Lada 1200. Over 57 thousand cars were sent to the countries of the Socialist Commonwealth - the GDR, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Hungary and Yugoslavia. Soon, “Ladas” appeared on the roads of Germany, France, Great Britain, Austria, Switzerland, Finland, Sweden, minibuses, where Tolyatti cars were even brought into a separate “Zhiguli” class. And already in the fall of the same year, VAZ-2101 cars took part in international competitions: three Soviet crews started in the marathon "Tour of Europe-71". The route of this rally was laid across the territory of 14 countries of Western and Eastern Europe (including the territory of the USSR), and the total length of the distance reached 14 thousand kilometers. At the end of the tour, the team VAZ-Avtoexport won the Silver Cup in the team competition, and the crews Girdauskas-Madrevits and Lukyanov-Karamyshev also received awards in the individual competition. The regularity of this fact was brilliantly confirmed subsequently and on "Tour of Europe-73", where the teams driving the VAZ-2101 received both gold and silver cups at once.

VAZ-2101 as racing car was popular not only in the USSR. The British, for example, organized a special rally championship in the 80s Lada Challenge. Subsequently, the model did not leave the tracks of both intra-Union and international competitions for many years, and VAZ-2101 is sometimes seen in amateur rallies even today.

City Motor Sports it seemed that the race was already lost, the main thing was to reach the finish line. But suddenly it started to rain, and power stopped playing a decisive role. The crew began to win position after position. First, they overtook the leader in the standings for cars produced from 1966 to 1971 (the German historical racing championship takes place in several stages) - the blue Alfa Romeo, which competed in the class up to 1600 cm³. This car was already rolling off the factory assembly line in those years with a two-shaft engine and dual carburetors. Weber. Then the VAZ-2101 began to overtake Jaguars and Porsches. The VAZ-2101 crew finished in thirtieth position and first place in the class.

In 2010, the VAZ-2101 again entered the track. This time Mikhail Gorbachev's team took part in the competition FHR Historischer Langstrecken Cup, held at full version Nürburgring tracks. The fact is that prestigious international 1000 km races were held on the Nordschleife from 1953 to 1983. Cars from famous world manufacturers took part in them. There were never any Soviet cars among them. Today this is possible, as the Germans have revived the legendary racing for historical cars.

The preparation of the car for the start was carried out with the support of the company Rossauto. Modifying the body according to Group 1 rules is prohibited, so the white “one” looks even more stock than the silver one that took part in the 2004 race. The suspension remained standard - only shock absorbers were installed Koni Sport. The engine has undergone more serious changes. It was bored out to 1300 cm³, a sports camshaft and two twin carburetors were installed Weber 40DCOE. Theoretically, it was in this configuration that the car could participate in international races at the very beginning of the seventies. The main rivals of the “one” were cars with an engine capacity of up to 1300 cm³, produced from 1965 to 1971.

The crew included Andrei Oleynikov, journalist and driving instructor Dmitry Sokolov, and Alexey Mochanov, who knows the treacherous route very well.

In difficult weather conditions, both the car, which handled well, and the athletes, who did not make serious mistakes, showed themselves. Of the conditional classmates, the Russian-Ukrainian crew lost only to the NSU racers. The principal competitors in the Ford Escort 1300GT showed the best average speed per lap, but ended up behind at the finish.

In total, the VAZ-2101 was in the race for 7 hours and 6 minutes, having consumed more than 200 liters of fuel, on each lap it accelerated three times to a speed of 180 km/h (at 7500 rpm) and in the end, driven by Andrey Oleinikov, it saw the finishing flag . Among the foreigners, the team has the fourth result, and 56th overall. A total of 70 cars finished, so in the overall standings the VAZ-2101 beat out several Porsche and BMW crews. Never before in its long racing life has a VAZ-2101 been continuously in a race for 7 hours.

The choice fell on FIAT mainly for political reasons: the Communist Party of the USSR supported the parties of other capitalist developed countries, especially Italy and France. The leaders of foreign communist parties needed new jobs, and the construction of a plant in Togliatti solved their problems. Italian specialists and builders built the plant and provided all the necessary documentation. They consulted with VAZ engineers and participated in the development of new models. The first batch of logos was also produced in Italy, which increased interest among collectors.

The prototype of the VAZ 2101 was the FIAT 124 model of 1966 with a 1.2 liter engine and entry-level trim. In 1965 it won the title of “car of the year”.

On January 3, 1967, the construction of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant was announced as an All-Union Komsomol shock construction project. Thousands of people were sent to construction, mostly young people. And on January 27 of the same year, the first cubic meter of earth was removed for the construction of the first workshop.

Since 1969, labor collectives began to be formed, and the installation of equipment produced at 844 domestic factories and 900 factories in the Commonwealth by companies from Italy, Germany, England, the USA, France and other countries continued.

On March 1, 1970, the first ten bodies left the welding shop, and on April 19, they left the main conveyor first 6 cars VAZ 2101. The car and its modifications were named “Zhiguli”, after the name of the mountains near Tolyatti.
The Zhiguli was very similar to the Fiat 124, but that was only in appearance.
The cars were assembled from completely localized parts, without supplies from Fiat. But some of the parts were produced not in the USSR, but in other socialist countries. For example, in Poland in 1967, the Polski Fiat 125P, which was very similar to the Zhiguli, was already produced; it could carry Latin symbols, which was the reason for the appearance of the legend about “Fiat kopecks”.
Later, parts from the USSR began to be supplied to Polish Fiats, such as recessed door handles.
The design of the FIAT underwent many changes before becoming the Zhiguli. Even in the early stages of testing, it was clear that Fiat was not for our roads. Its body was very weak, it had to be strengthened, as well as the suspension.
The ground clearance was increased from 164 to 175 mm, the rear disc brakes were replaced with drum brakes, which are more durable and protected from the effects of sand and dirt. As testers testified, the rear pads were enough for 500-600 km on a bad road; they simply wore down to metal. The door handles were made recessed, which made them injury-proof, and a rear-view mirror appeared on the outside.

The camshaft moved from bottom to top, the distance between the cylinders increased, maintaining the engine displacement of 1.2 liters, the cylinder diameter was increased from 73 to 76 mm with a power of 64 hp.
In the transmission, the diameter of the clutch disc was increased from 182 to 200 mm. The three-link suspension was replaced with a five-link suspension. Instead of two jacks on the sides, there are four.
IN front bumper a hole appeared under the “crooked” starter, fangs and towing eyes appeared. The seats, unlike the Fiat ones, began to recline. In total, more than 800 changes were made, which significantly strengthened the design and made it heavier by 90 kg, from 855 to 945 kg.

The bulk of the improvements were made by Italian specialists, with the participation of Soviet ones, which made it possible to adopt experience and use it in subsequent developments.

On October 28, 1970, the first train with Zhiguli cars was sent to Moscow. With an estimated construction period of 6 years, the plant was launched 3 years earlier.

On March 24, 1971, the State Commission accepted the first phase into operation, which will produce 220,000 cars per year.

In 1971, the export of Zhiguli cars to Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Yugoslavia and the GDR began. Somewhat later to Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland, Egypt, Great Britain, Nigeria.
Due to the multilingualism of buyers, the name "Zhiguli" was changed to "LADA" / "LADA".

On December 22, 1973, the plant was officially accepted by the State Commission as excellent after producing the millionth VAZ car, and by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR it was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor.

In the 70s, Zhigulis were the most comfortable and reliable of Soviet cars. Owning a Zhiguli was prestigious; it spoke of prosperity and prosperity in the family. For most of the male population, this was a dream. Foreign roots attracted buyers of the VAZ 2101 even more. But at first they were still a little afraid of the Zhiguli due to insufficient experience in maintenance.

Experienced motorists confidently said that Zhigulis were not for our roads, but later it turned out that they were made not only for our roads, but also for our off-road conditions.

Warranty and service now available! Among positive features"Zhiguli" had a small amount of maintenance work, the drivers were surprised that in winter they did not need to drain the water at night, they learned the taste of antifreeze for the first time and got wheels for the whole year. The Zhiguli was also distinguished by its smooth ride, good dynamics and handling, which made it possible to overtake the Moskvich and Volga forever. The cabin was comfortable, the cabin heater worked perfectly. What was also pleasing was that in the USSR they learned how to make fittings and high-quality fasteners; after purchasing the Zhiguli there was no need to re-stretch it. The build quality at the beginning of production was excellent, but in subsequent years it deteriorated, not only at VAZ, but also in the industry as a whole.

In 1974, an updated version of the Zhiguli was released - VAZ 21011, with a 1.3 liter engine and 69 hp.

Over 13 years of production, about 3 million VAZ 2101 cars were produced. Production of VAZ 21011 was discontinued in 1981, 2101 in 1982, and subsequently only modifications of the VAZ 21013 were produced.

VAZ 2101 and sport.

At the beginning of 1971, a racing modification of the Zhiguli was released; it took part in the European rally TOUR OF EUROPE - 71, where our team won the silver cup. When participating in the subsequent competitions "TOUR OF EUROPE - 73", Soviet athletes won gold and silver.

“Kopeyka” first took part in road circuit racing in 1972 in the USSR Championship. In those days, no one knew how to boost VAZ engines, and Muscovites had an advantage on the highways. But over time, the secret of boosting the Zhiguli was figured out, the drivers learned to prepare their VAZs, and the AZLK teams were no longer able to resist the “kopeks” and fell behind forever.

Things weren't going well at the "Friendship Cup of Socialist Countries" races. Three Czechoslovak drivers won every race in their factory Skoda 130 RS, only swapping places in the top three. Powerful and lightweight Skodas were created specifically for the ring. Soon they switched to other European competitions, and their place was taken by other athletes from Czechoslovakia, on our Ladas. They drank a lot of blood from our racers, but it was still possible to defeat them, this was proven more than once by Soviet athletes.

It’s interesting that factory racers often had to share medals with “singles” from other cities. They were strong competitors in the races. And all because there was no professional sports in the USSR; it could only be practiced after standing a shift at the machine. And the VAZ sports sections were not divisions of the plant, but just clubs of car enthusiasts, and the invaluable experience of modifications was very rarely translated into improving the design of production cars.

What was the tuning VAZ 2101 like in the early 70s?

Our motorists knew how to negotiate with the heads of various large companies that had access abroad. They brought us reinforced and modified camshafts specifically for competitions. Brought from different countries, of course, everything was illegal, and therefore tuning the Zhiguli was very expensive. They brought camshafts to someone, they exchanged them for a rigid suspension, they, in turn, exchanged them for other parts, more reinforced. The rubber was from “space”, i.e. unavailable, we signed up for a waiting list several months in advance.

Some "Kulibins" made camshafts using their own technology, changed them, and sold them. They also made homemade magnesium disks; in Europe this was a very expensive pleasure.

Only in our time have tuning parts become publicly available, and we can select any part to suit our parameters. Let's say thank you to those people who in the early 70s were not afraid to achieve better performance from their “kopecks”; these were Soviet athletes and enthusiasts!!!

The life of the VAZ 2101 car began on April 19, 1970. Then the production conveyor of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant produced the first batch of six cars, opening the way to the popularity of this vehicle both in the USSR and abroad. All.

Car history

The creation of “2101” was preceded by a whole chain of organizational and technical measures, from the founding of the plant itself, to cooperation with various foreign companies and, first of all, with the Italian FIAT plant.

It was the FIAT 124, which was recognized as the most popular, that was supposed to become the prototype of the new Soviet car. But in the process of developing a new concept and testing the FIAT 124, a discrepancy was identified technical characteristics the latest road conditions in the Soviet Union:

• With intensive use, the body and weak suspension did not provide the required strength;
• The ground clearance was low and did not meet off-road requirements;
• There were no elements that would ensure towing the car if it breaks down on the road.

As part of close cooperation, Italian engineers took Active participation in the development of the new model, more than eight hundred changes were made. For example:

• The rear wheels received drum brakes, suitable for bad roads;
• The rear suspension design has been completely changed;
• The front suspension has been strengthened;
• The clutch has been strengthened and the operation of the synchronizers of the “2101” gearbox has been improved;
• The salon could become a sleeping area, thanks to the transformation of the seats;
• A new overhead shaft engine was installed.

As a result, only the appearance remained of the Italian car in the new car. Tests carried out with the first six vehicles showed reliability and good maneuverability, so subsequent improvements were minor.

2101 - received official name“Zhiguli” is named after the small mountains beyond the Volga not far from the automobile plant, which is located in the city of Tolyatti. The people gave the car a simple, respectful, memorable name “unit”. Later in the 80s, amid a decline in prestige, it received the name “kopek”. Years of production: 1970 - 1982. In total, more than 2.7 million copies were produced during this time.

Exterior

The exterior of the “penny” sedan largely corresponded to the FIAT 124 prototype. The influence of Italian designers was felt. Well-designed structural lines, body relief, and elegant features demonstrated a high design culture aimed at ensuring comfort during driving and operation.

One of the leading testers of the plant, Vadim Kotlyarov, expressed his feelings this way when he became closely acquainted with the “kopek”:

To say that she made an impression on me is to say nothing. It literally stuns with its appearance... The overall level of execution was so high that it completely overshadows all the minor flaws.

In exterior design“2101” were introduced with handles recessed into the doors to prevent injury, “fang” buffers were installed on the bumpers, a round rear-view mirror was installed on the left front fender in front of the driver’s door, and a corporate logo was attached to the radiator grille.

Double sidelights include sidelights and direction indicators. Exterior features can be seen in the photo of the “2101” model. In 1974, the plant began producing an improved model. The bumper buffers were eliminated, but a solid rubber pad was installed, new ones were used tail lights, new finishing elements were used.

Car dimensions

Looking at the drawing “2101”, it is necessary to recognize that the dimensions and arrangement of all parts and body elements are harmonious and correspond to the classical scheme. This has affected the fact that at present the “kopek” is a long-liver, it is respected and respectfully called a “classic”.

Interior

The interior of the 2101 car maintains the principle of minimalism. The front panel consists of a metal frame covered with a special decorative coating. It includes a rectangular control unit located opposite the steering wheel. To the right are the controls for heating and interior ventilation:

• Ventilation ducts (deflectors);
• Adjustment levers for heater control.

The air damper and heater valve drive levers provide the required microclimate temperature conditions. Deflectors allow you to direct the supplied air in any direction.

Facing frame dashboard metallized. In its plane there are: a niche for a radio receiver, glove box(glove compartment), ashtray. Built-in ashtrays have rear doors. Under the steering wheel there are levers for turning, headlights, and windshield wipers. Clutch, gas, brake levers, floor-mounted glass washer button.

The inside of the doors and ergonomic seats are trimmed with high-quality leatherette. The chairs are equipped with adjustable elements with the ability to transform into sleeping places. A well-designed heating system, interior ventilation, an air supply mode that prevented glass fogging, wide seats in sufficient living space, and sound insulation ensured a level of comfort at which the driver and passengers felt satisfied. The trunk is rational and spacious.

Car tuning

Car tuning usually involves modifications, modernization, and correction of defects. appearance. This applies to changes in the condition of the car body, interior, chassis, and engine. Usually work begins with replacing tires and wheels. Forged wheels are the most durable and reliable, but more expensive than cast wheels.

Complete with wide tires, after reconstruction wheel arches, they look equally impressive, but the issue of price is up to the car enthusiast to decide. Good optics and LED lighting add additional attractiveness to the exterior, but excessive use of lighting is more likely to indicate poor taste.

You can think about replacing the bumper as the most prominent body kit, for example with a voluminous bumper. This will improve aerodynamics and create a sporty and challenging look. In the cabin you can install a stereo system with a subwoofer and replace the instrument panel. Upholstery makes a significant contribution to the interior, creating a special flavor and improving aesthetics, drawing attention to the refinement of the owner’s taste.

The body of the VAZ 2101 is the primary goal of the changes. Here you can choose two directions:

• Retro- for those who tremblingly perceive immutability appearance car;
• Engineering- for lovers modern forms in which you can express your own individuality.

This can include:

• Strengthening body rigidity, as an important part of the modernization process, to extend the life of the car and increase reliability;
• Changing the previous appearance by installing decorative elements, replacing the bumper, installing a spoiler and skirt, and airbrushing;
• Deep tuning of the car body radically changes the design of the “2101”.

Often the bottom of a VAZ 2101 needs radical restoration. Such work requires skill, good knowledge of body structure and required set tools: a semi-automatic welding machine for welding in a carbon dioxide environment, a grinder with a set of cutting and grinding wheels, a drill, a jack, wooden blocks, clamps, wrenches, various chisels, pliers, materials for painting.

Tuning the VAZ 2101 interior is a godsend for an original automotive designer. There is a wide field for self-expression in the range of high-quality finishing materials, for example: covering the seats with covers made of genuine leather with special impregnation, the use of synthetic Alcantara fabric with the properties of suede, resistant to various types of influences. This finish will add sophistication to the interior.

Revolutionary changes can be aimed at:

• Harmonious selection of colors;
• Reconstruction driver's seat, dashboard (installation of expressive instrument scales with bright but not dazzling backlight);
• Replacing the front seats with modern seats with a wide range of adjustments, heating and ventilation attributes;
• Giving rear seats anatomical forms;
• Installation of climate control;
• Installation of a subwoofer in the trunk of a VAZ 2101;
• Replacement of mechanical window lifts with electric lifts.

If the efforts, time, and money embodied in tuning brought joy to the car enthusiast and those around him, then such expenses can be considered a successful investment in a worthwhile business.

The VAZ 2101 engine undergoes tuning if the goal is to increase its power.

The method shown here does not include dramatic changes motor.

It provides:

• Replacing the standard air filter to “nulevik”, which, according to experts, contributes to an increase in power by 3 - 5 l/s. Some argue that such a replacement is justified only for a modified “sports” engine;
• Installation of a direct-flow muffler;
• Removing roughness in the manifold, polishing the channels of the cylinder head, which increases engine power by 5 - 8 l/s;
• Installation of a turbocharged compressor.

Specifications

The “2101” engine, the ancestor for all models, is carburetor. The camshaft has an overhead position. Chain timing mechanism drive. The engine life is more than 18 thousand kilometers. The assembled engine, together with the clutch and gearbox, is attached to the front and rear cross members through three shock-absorbing mounts. The clutch is dry, permanently closed, single-disk. The suspension is independent with a spring and telescopic shock absorber.

Modifications
