The Russian four-wheel drive icon was created for an environment as hard as the vehicle itself. Zubr Concept, based in Gransee, north of Berlin, takes this into factor to consider. There are numerous different plans offered for the Lada, all of which add to the cars and truck’s essentially post-apocalyptic look à la Mad Max.
