Description
The ZIS-101 was a limo built by Zavod Imeni Stalina. The original version featured a 5.8-litre 8-cylinder engine and produced 141 bhp. The car was equipped with a 3-speed manual transmission and had an MKZ-L2 carburettor. The ZIS-101 was produced until 1941. It was followed by the sporty and powerful ZIS-101ATI.
The ZIS-101A Sport was one of the first automobiles produced in the Soviet Union. It was created by the factory and gave to the Soviet Union in 1939. It was part of the long list of gifts that were sent to the Soviet Union during the Second World War. The Soviets were unaware that the ZILs would become one of the first cars produced after the war. A number of these vehicles would be produced following the Second World War.
The ZIS-101A Sport had many features and was fully assembled. It was painted and polished and had a top speed of 1620NaN0. An article in the Pravda claimed it could go up to 170-180 km/h. The vehicle was manufactured in limited numbers and had a production run of just nine. However, it was not until 1939 that the ZIS-101A sport became a legendary Soviet car.
