АЗЛК 2141 (Muscovite)

Москвич-2141 - The car of the third group of a small class with a type body хэтчбэк, issued with 1986 for 1996 at Automobile factory of a name of Lenin Komsomol (АЗЛК).

The design of a power skeleton of "Muscovite" of the fourth generation has been based on the French model of the middle 1970 SIMCA 1307/1308, by the way, received a title "the Car 1975/1976 years". Designers of factory in the memoirs asserted that the first sample М-2141 represented a skeleton of "sim card" with anew hung кузовными panels of other form and a domestic running gear. As external кузовные panels have been designed anew, to АЗЛК from outside Frenchmen were not claims in respect of not licensed use of intellectual property, and ex-terrier М-2141 has turned out ultramodern for the middle of 1980th years, reminding novelties Audi of that time 80 and BMW to the fifth series. Front-wheel configuration with a longitudinal arrangement of the engine and the differential established between the engine and a check point - has been borrowed from German model Audi 100. The choice such rather малораспространенной configurations has been connected with necessity of use of engines from rear-wheel cars of the previous generation, and also wider choice of possible power units and, in the long term, possibility of creation of cars with a full drive (those have been created last years enterprise existence).

On переднеприводный "Muscovite" carburettor engines in working volume 1500, 1700, 1800 and 2000 sm3 of manufacture of the Ufa factory of automobile motors (BONDS), and also 1600 sm3 of manufacture VAZ, and also the diesel engine of 1800 sm3 Ford (export М-2141-136) were established. Unique type of a transmission was 5-step mechanical though on model of the first releases it was established as well a 4-step transmission.

For family "Москвич-2141" capacious salon and a luggage space increased at the expense of folding of a back seat, effective heating of salon, an easy steering, good controllability on high speeds and passableness on the snow-covered and polluted roads are characteristic. Maintainability of the car has partially bathed imperfection and unreliability of knots applied on it and units. On set of consumer characteristics Moskvich-2141 "the family car" to the greatest degree answered concept, surpassing closer small-displacement models of AUTOVAZ.

For families "Москвич-2141" (hatchback) and "Moskvich-2142" (sedan) the original family of engines "Muscovites" under which at АЗЛК own manufacture was created has been designed. However, being constructed to the beginning 1990 on 90-95 % (the data it is separated) because of the begun economic crisis factory has not been completed, and after its the established equipment was разукомплектовано, is written off and simply lost. As a result of Moskvich-2141, VAZ-2106 "temporarily starting on engines (М-2141) and УЗАМ-412 (М-21412) and has not waited the modern engine that has to a great extent predetermined its unsuccessful destiny. Besides, quality of accessories and assemblage, and especially colourings of bodies on АЗЛК was frankly unsatisfactory and in the course of time more and more worsened. The body of the average car began корродировать already in the first year of operation that negatively affected image of model. Updating 21412 differed the extremely unsuccessful combination of the obsolete Ufa engine UZAM-412 conducting the family tree still from trophy motor BMW with more modern экипажной by a part. As a result the car did not possess necessary capacity and dynamics, besides motor adaptation under a new motor compartment has been made unsuccessfully so a number of knots and hinged units (first of all the distributor of ignition and a broad tank of system of cooling) have appeared the most vulnerable and in addition reduced and so low reliability of the car.
