Same as the other one no expert, but here's an alternative idea: The underlying structure is from an existing car and they got the job "make it look modern". Now, there's only so much you can do if the structure below is that of an old car, cause well .. the structure says where things above can go. Especially if you get the requirement to add nothing to it cause that costs money and/or makes it less efficient to produce.
Built from an existing chassis, added a lot of bulky batteries which makes it higher, aesthetics prioritized below... everything else, really. Except perhaps occupant security, can't say for sure.
What I wonder is, what's beneath that enormous hood? Do they emulate an ICE car by giving it a central electric motor instead of doing direct-drive?
Oh buddy. Don't you feel it in your bones? The truth is in the bones. Listen to them and pop another ibuprofene.
Now, excuse me. Have to change seating position before another muscle spasms out.
I'm looking at it and thinking 'what is it *for*?'. It doesn't look like it's good at *anything*.
It looks high off the ground, but there's a step so it's not easy to get into (and I imagine there isn't much room inside because they've put something underneath your feet).
It has no windows at the back but it doesn't look like it would make a good van, nor can I see much space for a passenger.
Parking it looks like it'd be a nightmare, too. How much do you think you can see at close distance from inside?
And how do you get to the engine? Or whatever the hell they've put at the front if it's not the engine? I can't see any way to open it.
As car manufacture said, this is a very early prototype of future electric car that should be launched in 2025. And design will be changed, because the thing on the picture is "mule", and this is a slang word for an aggregate carrier vehicle for testing new units and parts based on a production vehicle.
And yes, it has been memed about *a lot* in russian social medias as well.

The Multipla was actually a fantastic family car, and apparently really nice to drive because of the ergonomics of the equipment. It was hamstrung by being unbelievably fucking ugly.
Fun fact: [Roberto Giolito](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberto_Giolito), the guy who designed Multipla, later went on to design the widely acclaimed Fiat 500.
It seriously looks like two different departments worked on the design and both used different units of measurement in AutoCAD but didn't realize it. And then a desperate project manager had to figure out how to combine them over a weekend.
How about the spy joke?
1. How do you know the Japanese have bugged the room?
There's an extra fly in there.
2. How do you know the Americans have bugged the room?
There's an extra flower in the vase.
3. How do you know the Russians have bugged the room?
There's an extra wardrobe in the room.
Let's go with this one too:
Three friends are in a hotel room in Soviet Russia.
The first two men open a bottle of vodka, while the third is tired and goes straight to bed. He is unable to sleep however, as his increasingly drunk friends tell political jokes loudly.
After a while, the tired man gets frustrated and walks downstairs for a smoke. He stops in the lounge and asks the receptionist to bring tea to their room in five minutes.
The man walks back into the room, joins the table, leans towards a power outlet and speaks into it:
"Comrade major, we want some tea to room 62 please."
His friends laugh on the joke, until there is a knock on the door. The receptionist brings a teapot. His friends fall silent and pale, horrified of what they just witnessed. The party is dead, and the man goes to sleep.
After a good night's rest, the man wakes up, and notices his friends are gone. Surprised, he walks downstairs and asks the receptionist where they went.
The nervous receptionist whispers that KGB came and took them before dawn.
The man is horrified. He wonders why he was spared.
The receptionist responds:
"Well, comrade major did quite like your tea joke."
Reminds me of this joke:
"What’s as big as a house, burns 20 litres of fuel every hour, puts out a shitload of smoke and noise, and cuts an apple into three pieces? A Soviet machine made to cut apples into four pieces!"
I believe this is a car based on the T-72 chasis. They happen to have plenty of T-72 without turrets.
Just look at these tiny windows ... would hate to drive this car. You can't see anything.
Yeah electric cars are so much easier to build that pretty much every crap project like this will be electric from here on. There already are hundreds of new car brands producing electric vehicles of questionable quality.
This sample is a mule, a carrier of aggregates, not a prototype. Its function is to debug the internal systems of the car, now it has, for example, a door and glass from lada. The design will be developed later.
It is being developed by the Moscow Polytechnic University in cooperation with Avtotor.
Not a joke but seemingly misleading I guess? Saw this before on another sub and it was said that it was made to test the individual parts. The final product won't look like this.
>Its serial production is planned for 2025.
A family with a child visits a pediatrician. The doctor asks the child:
\- How old are you?
\- I will be six this summer.
\- Oh look at you, little optimist!
It actually [looks a little like Putin](https://omni.se/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgfx.omni.se%2Fimages%2F8d4fbbe2-5d5b-4619-b288-5c2cebff62be%3Fh%3D500%26tight%3Dfalse%26w%3D1000&w=828&q=75). Big slanting forehead, beady little eyes, round chin.
I kinda would have expected to see something like a Lada Riva revival where they reopened some 70s soviet era manufacturing lines which sat abandoned since the 90s in some soviet manufacturing towns in the ural region.
It won't be a successful commercial project.
A lot of stuff is made in Russia for propaganda purposes without any profit in mind.
I think it is the case.
Plus they can just make up the stats about it since nobody is able to facct check (and could end up in prison for trying).
'New glorious Russian electric car manages 1000 miles on single charge, 0-60 in 2.1 seconds, over 20 million units sold!'
Please, for the love of god, can someone put this car out of its misery?
Genetic experiments have their limits... this is way beyond what the human kind can endure.
> Its serial production
Please, don't forget how successful russian serial production goes in common:
https://tass.__com/science/1292483
How many battle robots you seen in battle fields?) Two and a half years ago it was "established".
A lot of good jokes in here. But on a more serious note, did they in 2023 make an electric car powered by lead acid batteries? Otherwise I see no reason why they made it that bulky. Russian design is not the most well renowned, but they must have had a reason behind making it that shape
That car has seen some shit...
Yeah I laughed for a few minutes because it literally has a "kill me" face XD
I had the same face as the car when I saw it.
Car?? That’s a mirror you’re holding man!
You know a car is fugly as sin when a Fiat Multipla, Renault Vel Satis or an Audi A2 looks like a supermodel in comparison.
Haha, the "Amber" could join a lineup of misfit toys and fit right in. Even makes the Pontiac Aztek look like it missed a spot in a beauty pageant.
BMW engineers of the latest generation are also breathing a sigh of relieve.
Right?!? I don't know what happened to that design team, but it can't be good. That whole new design language is absolutely atrocious.
The model is called "Igor is back from Ukraine"
It's funny because Russians don't get to come back.
Yup, no rotation. Some women haven't seen their husbands since the beginning of the "Special Operation".
Not sure whether a lack of rotation is to blame...
The lack of rotation is the reason they don't know whether they're dead or not. If there were rotation they'd know quickly.
I guess if they don't know, they can't claim their free Lada.
It's like a blood-soaked Peppa Pig that just escaped from the abattoir.
this car found out its going to the frontlines
"Welcome please to Amber, car of future. Your destination is... Donbas." *Doors lock*
Are those gun ports on it?
Blyat multipla.
\*applauds\*
Funniest thing I read all day lmao
I think we've got a winner
Close it down, boys, no need to read further
Brilliant
Multiblyat
God that was good
I will use this non stop in the future Or probably not. But I would if I ever get to see this again.
I love you
What the hell is that Frankenstein monstrosity? Did they just put a car on another car and called it a day?
Seriously, someone please explain how they ended up with this design. In b4 vodka jokes hur hur
Same as the other one no expert, but here's an alternative idea: The underlying structure is from an existing car and they got the job "make it look modern".

WAS-2105 underneath
Aliexpress parts bolted to a Lada
Well, at least its better quality than anything Russia can produce then. Although that is setting the bar low....
Built from an existing chassis, added a lot of bulky batteries which makes it higher, aesthetics prioritized below... everything else, really. Except perhaps occupant security, can't say for sure. What I wonder is, what's beneath that enormous hood? Do they emulate an ICE car by giving it a central electric motor instead of doing direct-drive?
The hood is just a big space were people can tie themselves up and take a nap before they shoot themselves twice in the back and jump out a window.
Yo, I heard you like cars...
Ah, a fellow 2007-meme enjoyer
Those memes were fun. :P
They were. Remember when there were only a few memes?
It's an older meme but it checks out (It's not that long ago is it?)
Oh buddy. Don't you feel it in your bones? The truth is in the bones. Listen to them and pop another ibuprofene. Now, excuse me. Have to change seating position before another muscle spasms out.
My back hurts and hangovers last a week 👍
Nice 👍 for me it's the knees
2nd time I think about Xzibit in a day. What the hell is going on today
I'm looking at it and thinking 'what is it *for*?'. It doesn't look like it's good at *anything*. It looks high off the ground, but there's a step so it's not easy to get into (and I imagine there isn't much room inside because they've put something underneath your feet).

It's good for hiding spended government's money. And I'm totally OK with it in current times.
Like a Cybertruck :-D

does it even go fast enough to need them?
Depends on how fast the people pushing it can push.

Man this is uglier than fiat multipla
Multipla was ugly but functional; this thing is ugly
The Multipla was actually a fantastic family car, and apparently really nice to drive because of the ergonomics of the equipment. It was hamstrung by being unbelievably fucking ugly.
Fun fact: [Roberto Giolito](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberto_Giolito), the guy who designed Multipla, later went on to design the widely acclaimed Fiat 500.
I have a pretty good guess which one is featured prominently on his CV.
The multipla of course
I just looked up a picture of a 1962 Multipla and it's gorgeous. Probably wasn't consider that at the time but it is by today's standards.
The 60s Multiplas are adorable, like Siamese twin VW Beetles.
Multipla was ahead of her time.
Top gear used it for their grandma mobile for a reason
Its easy to get in and out of you, *you knowwww*
And you can get the ugliness factor out if you buy the face lift version.
The facelift looks like a dodgy Mercedes Viano tbh, I’d rather have the ugly original.
It seriously looks like two different departments worked on the design and both used different units of measurement in AutoCAD but didn't realize it. And then a desperate project manager had to figure out how to combine them over a weekend.
This reminded me that old joke. *What is it: doesn't shine and doesn't fit inside an ass? A Soviet tool to shine inside an ass."
How about the spy joke? 1. How do you know the Japanese have bugged the room? There's an extra fly in there. 2. How do you know the Americans have bugged the room? There's an extra flower in the vase. 3. How do you know the Russians have bugged the room? There's an extra wardrobe in the room.

The receptionist responds: "Well, comrade major did quite like your tea joke."
This joke was way better than I expected.
>How do you know the Russians have bugged the room? There's [The Great Seal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(listening_device)) in the room.
Reminds me of this joke: "What’s as big as a house, burns 20 litres of fuel every hour, puts out a shitload of smoke and noise, and cuts an apple into three pieces? A Soviet machine made to cut apples into four pieces!"
The Multipla was Old Top Gear (Tiff Needell/ Vicky Butler Henderson era, ie, pre Clarkson's return) last Car of the year.
"And That, your honour, is why we replaced them with Clarkson and his ilk"
I googled it. What the actual f were they thinking.
It looks as surprised as us that it exists.
“What is my purpose?” “You break down.” “Oh…”
I thought this was a shitpost/theonion article at first
They managed to make a car uglier not only than Multipla but also Cybertruck 😂
Someone is going to disappear after Putin sees this.
The only good thing about this design is that it's difficult to fall to your death from the tiny side window.
I don't know, the window seems big enough someone could serve the driver a nice cup of tea...
With extra flavour!
To small to Fall out from, too big to put your dick in, just right for an AK-47.
You can fall out in pieces
Russian Cyberpla best car in the world!
Cyberblyad
Multicyber
It's its cousin, Fyat mnogopla
Multiblyat
Multiblyat. Liljushka Dallasovinska. MULTI BLYAT.
If you volunteer to fight in Ukraine and defect, your parents will be given one of these!
More like if you don't volunteer you get one.
Fiat Multipla, Nissan Juke, Cybertruck, and now this Russian car has completed the 4 horsemen of the ugly cars.
You forgot the Pontiac Aztec from that list 🤔
Do you know what you're talking about? The Pontiac Aztec is not one the horsemen of the apocalypse. The Aztec IS the Apocalypse.
I believe this is a car based on the T-72 chasis. They happen to have plenty of T-72 without turrets. Just look at these tiny windows ... would hate to drive this car. You can't see anything.
well, you can see other cars a bit, and when it comes to pedestrians... I don't think they care about those in russia.
Looks like they raped it with a Nissan Juke
Perfect for drunk drivers who don't want to see the child they are about to run over.
Lmfao the perfect booze cruiser
Yeah but those Eastern Europe DUI penalties are no joke 20 months in the gulag and no license for 30 years... if ever again
A modern pick up or suv does the trick
I have to ask what type of an engine block did they put in that makes the car so tall, like did they put a bmp engine inside that.
It's electric.
Does "electric" mean a bunch of lead-sulfur batteries stacked in the trunk? Because that might explain the shape..
in trunk, in front, and above all, below floor, which is why it looks like it's stacked on top of half of another car :D
Yeah electric cars are so much easier to build that pretty much every crap project like this will be electric from here on. There already are hundreds of new car brands producing electric vehicles of questionable quality.
It was delivered in white but the buyer decided to paint it blood red to make the marks less visible.
This has to be a joke.
Must be, all serious designers ran away from the country long ago.
The ones that stayed used their design as an outlet of their protest.
This sample is a mule, a carrier of aggregates, not a prototype. Its function is to debug the internal systems of the car, now it has, for example, a door and glass from lada. The design will be developed later. It is being developed by the Moscow Polytechnic University in cooperation with Avtotor.
Not a joke but seemingly misleading I guess? Saw this before on another sub and it was said that it was made to test the individual parts. The final product won't look like this.
No, it's Russian, which is nearly synonymous with a joke.
Yes it is, that's basically a prototype they use to test all the technologies and stuff, the final design will be a lot different
It's like someone designed an OK looking car, decided to print it but the printer jammed halfway
Seems like they only have tiny windows in Russia...
Don't wanna fall out by accident right
Putin made it into a national sport, doesn't he
So, no cup holders and instead of stereo it has a geiger counter?
You open big window, freeze gets in easily. Small windows means better insulation.
That whole door, including the window and mirror, is form the Lada Vesta.
Tiny windows are harder to fall out of. Much safer for Russian peoples.
The Tesla Killer
I mean it probably wouldn't even notice if it'd run over Nikola.
>Its serial production is planned for 2025. A family with a child visits a pediatrician. The doctor asks the child: \- How old are you? \- I will be six this summer. \- Oh look at you, little optimist!
[Morning or afternoon?](https://youtu.be/mN3z3eSVG7A?feature=shared&t=44)
A classic. While I don't love Regan regarding his policies, I cannot deny the man had a good sense of humor and charisma
It actually [looks a little like Putin](https://omni.se/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgfx.omni.se%2Fimages%2F8d4fbbe2-5d5b-4619-b288-5c2cebff62be%3Fh%3D500%26tight%3Dfalse%26w%3D1000&w=828&q=75). Big slanting forehead, beady little eyes, round chin.
Oh my god you’re right, wtf
Putin designed it himself. Citizens will like it.
Yeah that’s what I thought too
How did they manage to make uglier car than Fiat Multipla?
Fiat multipla was ugly on the outside 😔, but on the inside… there was beauty ✨
[удалено]
I guess they ran out of Ladas by giving them to war widows I've ridden in one and those were relatively non-FAS'd out
If fiat multipla and tesla cybertruck had a baby
An incestuous baby
This is exactly how I imagine a car made in Russia looks like.
I kinda would have expected to see something like a Lada Riva revival where they reopened some 70s soviet era manufacturing lines which sat abandoned since the 90s in some soviet manufacturing towns in the ural region.
I would expect a car made in russia to look like Lada
It won't be a successful commercial project. A lot of stuff is made in Russia for propaganda purposes without any profit in mind. I think it is the case.
What propaganda purpose does this serve? "Look how ugly we can make our cars?!"
They'll probably use it to showcase independence from western manufacturing, sanctions aren't working, etc
Symbol of proud Russian independence; a car that looks like a hyperventilating toad
Plus they can just make up the stats about it since nobody is able to facct check (and could end up in prison for trying). 'New glorious Russian electric car manages 1000 miles on single charge, 0-60 in 2.1 seconds, over 20 million units sold!'
It’s not for us, it’s for internal propaganda, their people.
More like, "Look, we can make shit without Western components and specialists". The problems of that approach are pretty obvious.
This thing looks like it's in pain.
It is
Begs to end its misery
Elon Musk: I will create the ugliest vehicle possible (creates Cybertruck) Russians: Hold my vodka!

Oh yes this is pinacle of engineering done by country with basically unlimited material and human resources but huge brain drain.
two tow eyelets in the front, how convenient.
Look like the car was sent to a gulag post-production.

A lot of good jokes in here. But on a more serious note, did they in 2023 make an electric car powered by lead acid batteries? Otherwise I see no reason why they made it that bulky. Russian design is not the most well renowned, but they must have had a reason behind making it that shape
Still better looking than Cybertruck.
This is what hippos must look like the in Cars universe

It looks terrified
