That Melkus RS 1000 sounds like shit at idle, but when it drives sounds like porn for my ears. I've learned something today: Never judge an engine by its idle.
common man ... have you even watched the video? Skoda and Tatra are Czech (Czechoslovakian) brands. You Americans still have not noticed that not whole eastern block was USSR, have you?
KarlosTheMighty Woah there buddy, SupaTrolol was saying that as an American, it's interesting learning about cars in this video that came out of the USSR, not specifically Tatras and Škodas. If that's not enough, just look at his name! You just got trolled by a troll that probably wasn't trolling!
Lada VFTS had special doors and hood/trunk lid that were made of aluminum. This helped to keep weight just above 900 kg. Soviet Union had also few extremely modified Group B prototypes(Lada Samara EVA, AZLK 2141KR, ZAZ-1102 Tavria ERF-Mobile), but the development was cancelled because of the FIA Group B ban.
v6ileib It is strange why they would consider putting a such weak engine for Group B competition. Group B machine during early 80s have engine power swells up to over 500ps. Since I recall it is almost anything goes in group B, why the Soviet manufacturer don't come up with a purpose modified engine to compete... you can reduce weight as much as possible. But it is going to be tough luck to pit a 100ps car against a 500+ps one...
Within the Group B there were separate classes with different engine displacement limits. BTW Lada samara had 1.9L 16v turbo engine with 300hp, so they started to catch up eventually.
Visio, thanks for all your high quality videos. p.s. the USSR never prioritized the production of private vehicles as they had one of the world's greatest railway systems. They also had hard times and limited funds after WWII, as Hitler destroyed about 1/3 of the nation, especially the modern industrialized sectors. So trying to build different cars every year with minor differences (larger tail fins, different grill, etc.) was a concept they never embraced for good reason. Planned obsolescence has always been silly and wasteful. The Moscow Metro is also truly awesome. I was fortunate to take the Trans-Siberian from Moscow thru Mongolia to China. Cost the wife and I four bucks apiece for the 7 day trip, as the ruble had lost almost all of its value. Even tho this was 1991 and the country had already broken into 1,000 pieces, the people were super friendly, and the rail systems were still excellent and efficient. The Moscow Metro had a big digital clock at every platform, always counting down from 2 minutes. And every two minutes or less, another classy and classic car/cars pulled into the station. 3 rides for a nickel. No cheap plastic, no graffiti, and smooth powerful acceleration from the electric engines. Most of Russia's rail was electrically powered, including the Trans-Sib. Russia is a Vast Nation, so trains just made sense. Ask anyone who's lived in Europe about trains. A good rail system is wonderful and comfortable to boot.
50% of this list was made in my motherland, former Czechoslovakia. I personally love the 130rs, but my all time favourite is a Tatra 603-2 B5 Marathon, which in the mid 60´dominated endurance races with its beefy V8 and a rare ejector stlye cooling
that gaz looks like it was designed by the comrades at airplane design bureau number 6 just south of Novosibirsk and approved by the commissar of mechanical design number 2 in Izhevsk....
Superb Stuff Visio, I love this Research of you, Goldust of the East that all is love em all but swap a Kidney for the Melkus .. ( Da Ossi - Lambo, Huahua .... )
If you have ever watched ATC's music video of "Around the world" - and you probably have - you have seen yellow Melkus RS1000. Great video, @VisioRacer !
Note: Syrena Sport showed in this video is a replica. Very bad modeled replica. Original from the 60s has been destroyed. Only few photos, videos, sketches and drawings left. Someone managed to make 1:1 replica, that is orange colored. Also, there was FSO Polonez with Lancia Stratos engine, called "Stratopolonez".
At 7:45 , I think I have noticed a mistake at the specs panel: there is Skoda 130RS instead of 110R. Also nice job with this video; one of those you found for 130RS was filmed next to where I'm living! Keep it up!
One thing that always surprises me about Eastern European two-stroke sports cars like the Melkus and Syrena Sport is that they are not equipped with proper expansion chambers even though these were invented in East Germany by MZ. Skoda 130s were briefly sold in Canada where they quickly gained a reputation for being even less reliable than Ladas. I'm sure they were great when used in their native land, but they just couldn't cope with Canadian conditions.
There were also Estonian Formula cars built in Tallinn and shipped all over Soviet Union. Around 1300 units were built over 40 years. In that time more than 25 different variants were produced.
The melkus was still built in 2000s, the producers went bancrupt a couple of years ago... Sorry but it built in my city. Still cool video Bro keep it up. greetings from dresden
You also forgot to mention the Dacia 1410 Sport which is a coupe version of the sedan. It had an OHV inline 4 producing somewhere around 70-ish horsepower and only about 5000 were built.
Ahhh :D I just noticed at second watch he mentioned "In our region :)" but didnt recognize by the accent :D... Anyway anyone feeling old after watching this video ? :D Just remember the streets was full of rapids and 120s and fkin trabants like when it was yesterday :D
This was a very insightful video & a much appreciated find as I’m a race car junkie & have a genuine appreciation for all cars, Regardless of make. A silly question but what other automakers would there be in Russia? Ya know how Chevy is American, Land Rover is UK, Mercedes is German & __________ is Russian.
Fantastic video with one miss. FSO Syrena was beautiful, but it was only a prototype. The only one was produced, and destroyed becouse of propaganda. It wasn't a car for people, only for rich westerns. But, like somebody written here, we had a famous sports car, Stratopolonez, aka FSO Polonez 2500 Racing. In 1977 A. Jaroszewicz, a son of a prime minister crahed his Lancia Stratos on "Rally of Poland". He gave his wrecked car to a engineers, who put engine to a rally Polonez. With extra modifications, like truck radiator, they build a fastest Polish sports car. Officialy, this car beated a Audi Quattro. Yes. THIS B group Audi Quattro. It was becouse of transmission failture but who cares :p
Coooooll !!!!!!!!!!!! That 2 stroke Dino clone looks like a blast to own. Yeah I know but here in Sweden that same engine won masses of races with the same engine. In the end they could procuce close to 100 hp which was alot for its light weight. From what little I saw it probably had the same effect !!!!!!
with the Skoda 130RS, when you said it had an 8 channel head, do you mean crossflowed? (exhaust ports on one side, intake on the other?) I've never heard the way you described it used before, just wanted some clarification.
The Region in Germany i come from anually hosts a Hill Climd where Skoda 130 RS's, Melkus 1000 RS and Wartburg racecars as well as many other cars and Motorbikes participate. Some of the Bikes where built as early as 1916
well not 4 cylinders, but yeah, you are right, it's because soviet engines had to ran on low compression since ussr only had low grade fuel at that time
The GAZ is a quite cool looking hotrod if you take that hardtop off, which is removable by looks. It would only need a bit more umpf, that Tatra V8 sounds pretty good to power this car and existed already in the late 30's, and could have been built like that in the communist era.
I knew about the Skoda 130RS and the Melkus from previous videos....But the Tatra 607 and the GAZ GL-1 have got to be some of the coolest cars ever to come from east of the Wall!! 😄
I actually remember changin the engine in an old skoda 120 with friends we were like 17 years old an didnt know shit about cars... It was hilarious but with few liters of wine and Gs of weed we managed to actually make it run after the whole day :D Noone believed well make it :)... No accident people used to say that you can fix pretty much anything on an old skoda with just a fkin hammer and type 12 wrench and I heard that they could run even on damn vodka or any high % booze like slivovice :D :D They were Iconic cars of my young days :)
Hanzistorr Hanz they where made to be easy to maintain. Simple, and reliable. Skoda is very underrated. Always has been. Not a fan of communism, but they didnt make bad cars, except the Trabant
Few comments about the Syrena Sport. First, it was never produced, it was just one prototype shown in 1960 so 1957-1960 doesn't make that much sense. Then the standard Syrena was not a coupe, but a two door sedan - which is sth different. And the last thing is the fact that the only example doesn't exist today - it was destroyed in the 70s, so all examples seen today are just replicas.
In the Soviet Union there were many sports cars. And so many world records were set, they just weren’t fixed by world rules, they didn’t really communicate with sovets and all that ... Basically, these were slightly modified production cars turned into rally cars. "Moskvich's" perfectly suited to rally and beat many Western samples. There were a lot of cars for Formula 3.
Featuring gay VFTS, which won *something*. Not featuring Moskvich 412, which took high places at London - Sydney (beating Porsche, Mercedes, Citroen, Lotus, Volvo and Alfa Romeo), and London - Mexico rally. Are you serious?
That Melkus RS 1000 sounds like shit at idle, but when it drives sounds like porn for my ears. I've learned something today: Never judge an engine by its idle.
True Wartbugini!
BTW. Bieber sounds like shit regardless of the situation, worst when he sings...
It is the normal idle for a 2 stroke engine

Cheap as dirt, and they have plenty of room to tinker with them, and bot much to be afraid of ruining.

well not 4 cylinders, but yeah, you are right, it's because soviet engines had to ran on low compression since ussr only had low grade fuel at that time
