The Lada Samara, designated VAZ-2108 and sold in the Soviet Union as the Sputnik, is a series of small front-wheel-drive family cars built by AvtoVAZ between 1984 and 2013. It was the second autonomous design from VAZ after the Niva and the first not based on the Fiat 124 mechanicals. The first cars left the line on 18 December 1984 as three-door hatchbacks with a belt-driven 1,288 cc single overhead cam inline four and a four-speed gearbox. A five-door hatchback, the 2109, and a saloon followed, with 1.1, 1.3 and 1.5 litre petrol engines, and the model was restyled repeatedly until it was finally discontinued in December 2013.
