Say something about the exterior of new items is difficult, as the test mule was placed in a shorter body of dorestaylingovoy Corsa. According to preliminary data, Allegra borrow the exterior of the concept of Trixx, presented at the Geneva Salon seven years ago. Urban runabout – an area in which it is difficult to demonstrate originality, they are all similar to “dwarf hatchbacks’ and supplied with bulging wheel arches and sharp lines are bursting at the body builders.

DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen-Masters) is a German championship on ring races on kuzovnyh cars. They have only external similarity with road – any general detail, except headlights. And DTM-motors is a small car-care centre in Minsk. Having got the hand on repair of serial cars, employees have decided to assemble own, unique. As the customer with an advance payment was not, means should be found from car-care centre profit. As a result work on a miracle-karom has occupied long four years, but the result has amazed even those who achieved it. Unlike the classical car DTM intended only for races, in interior of it the powerful acoustic system of the higher class stylised under the aviation jet engine is built in. Its capacities will suffice to blank off rock group performance at stadium. The body is made of fibreglass, and for this purpose at first it was necessary to make all necessary equipment. Yes-yes, machine tools did not buy from known manufacturers, and too assembled the hands under own drawings. Thought up Minsk umeltsami the electronic system of intellectual steering allows the driver directly during movement to change options of a suspender, the engine, a gear box etc. Add to it vertical opening of doors from the panel, an inner trim a colour natural skin, karbonom and nonferrous metals – and you will understand, that you and dreamt of this car all life.
