Spec Auto Tuning, a car customizer based
in Ukraine, has caused quite a stir among retro car enthusiasts worldwide with
its recent project: stylizing modern BMW and Mercedes-Benz models to look like
the iconic Pobeda and Volga vehicles from the Soviet era.
Masterfully crafted conversions like these
often become popular among vintage car lovers who nonetheless want as much
safety and comfort behind the steering wheel as possible.
Spec Auto Tuning points out that it is
willing to create Pobeda and Volga replicas out of other modern cars – not
necessarily of German origin – as long as the dimensions remain suitable. The
tuner has previously built one such replica based on a Toyota Mark II and
another one based on an ancient GAZ-12 ZIM, which received a BMW 7 Series
powertrain in the process. One of the cars is currently on sale for € 36,000,
and the company is looking for new customers.
The gallery here features a C215
Mercedes-Benz CL 500 with Pobeda styling applied. The video shows the original
CL 500 for the sake of comparison.
