The GAZ-3105, often called a Volga, was a luxury car built by the Gorky Automobile Plant, GAZ, from 1992 to 1996. It came out of a 1980s programme to replace the ageing executive car GAZ-3102 and the larger GAZ-14 Chaika limousine with a family of front-, rear- and all-wheel-drive models called GAZ-3103, GAZ-3104 and GAZ-3105, and the 3105 was the luxury variant meant to succeed the Chaika. Its design drew on the third-generation Audi 100 and 200, and it had MacPherson strut suspension, a fuel-injected V8 and constant-velocity axles, so it shared few parts with the older GAZ-24-derived Volgas. Money problems stopped development several times, and only the GAZ-3105 reached production, with just 55 built. A modernised prototype shown at the 1996 Moscow Motor Show was dropped in favour of the GAZ-3111 Volga.
