One hundred years of Russian transport design in one exhibition

The most noticeable exhibit of the entire exhibition is a replica of the 1939 ZiS-Sport roadster, a car so large, luxurious and majestic that there is even something anti-Soviet about it. And the elitist spirit of Art Deco style.
Moscow Transport Museum The two-door, 5.6 meters long, was built on the ZIS-101 chassis. The engine is an in-line eight with a volume of more than 6 liters with an aluminum cylinder head. Power is huge for its time: 141 hp. at 3300 rpm.
Moscow Transport Museum GAZ-20. Production of Pobeda began in 1946. For its time it was a very progressive car. In terms of design, these include integrated front fenders (at that time they were still usually separated from the hood volume), a low body and sophisticated aerodynamics.

Moscow Transport Museum For the late 1980s, the project was too luxurious: a V8 engine and all-wheel drive, which was rare for passenger cars all over the world. Serial production of the GAZ-3105 never began, but from 1992 to 1996 (that is, much later!) About a hundred copies of the GAZ-3105 were produced.

Moscow Transport Museum The design of the Body II concept has remained virtually unchanged since 2003. It was built in the Cardi studio, which in a sense grew out of the Student Design Bureau (SKB) of MSTU “MAMI”. Today this university is called Mospolitekh

There was design in the USSR! You should see this at the new exhibition of the Moscow Transport Museum. And at the same time, see what transport design Russia is demonstrating today. Title “You look 100!” refers to the centenary of domestic transport design. Here you can literally follow its path on a variety of types of transport, from cars and motorcycles to electric ships and electric vehicles.
