GAZ-3106

The GAZ-3106 was an experimental five-door off-road estate from the Gorky Automobile Plant, the continuation of the abandoned GAZ-2308 Ataman project. It was first shown in 2003; a year later it was reworked and prepared for production at a planned price of about 12 thousand dollars, level with the UAZ Patriot, but it never entered series production. It stood on a welded frame of closed rectangular sections, with permanent four-wheel drive, a lockable centre differential, a low range and a new transfer case with a multi-row Morse chain, front ventilated disc brakes and rear drums. The published data give a 2.46 litre ZMZ-40522.10 engine of 155 horsepower, a top speed of 155 kilometres per hour, a length of 4570 millimetres and a wheelbase of 2670 millimetres, and a longer seven-seat version with a 2.7 litre engine was also listed.
