VAZ-21109 «Consul» - a car in which the base body is 300 mm longer.
Body «Premiere» manufactured in the experimental production department of VAZ. Body parts come separately, then they are finalized. There are no signs of elongation on the bodywork. The priming and painting of the body are made on the conveyor. Then the body goes to the company «Super Auto», where the manual assembly of the VAZ-21108 car is made.
The base model for it is the VAZ-21103 with the VAZ-2112 engine. It is planned to install a sixteen-valve VAZ-21124 engine with a working volume of 1.6 liters. The car provides for the installation of a central lock, air conditioning, power steering. In the cabin - wood decor and now fashionable carbon fiber.
The increase in the base has a positive effect on the smoothness of the ride and the stability of the car. This increase has a noticeable effect on the longitudinal buildup. Of course, this worsens maneuverability. The increased base does not affect acceleration and deceleration. There is increased stability when cornering, especially on slippery roads, and slip, if it occurs, is smoother and more manageable than on the base model.

The parameters of this car are not so expressive compared to the base model VAZ-21103, which was considered earlier.
AvtoVAZ companies are engaged in the production of special vehicles, armored vehicles «Niva», VAZ-21103 and VAZ-21108. They have their own indices VAZ-211032 and VAZ-211082.
The body is being prepared for booking not yet ready, amplifiers, additional brackets are welded, then the VAZ-21108 technological cycle goes through. After assembly in «Super Auto» the car enters the workshop of special vehicles, where the interior is completely protected with Kevlar panels, and the floor with armored plates. Sheets are fastened with bolts, welding is practically not used so as not to violate the corrosion resistance of the body.
Laminated armored glass for these models is produced in association «Highway» in Gus-Khrustalny, where, according to the original technology, a durable and lightweight «transparent reservation». In the front doors the windows are lowered, in the rear they are motionless.
All cars are equipped with air conditioning. In the cabin, wide B-pillars, pads that overlap the rear triangular windows are edged with gray pile fabric and look comfortable. The appearance of an armored vehicle should not differ from the base model. It can be distinguished only by the shape of the rear windows, and it sits lower than the base one. The armored door opens easily and closes silently, as if it slams shut under its own weight.
An armored car protects against a pistol shot, but a machine gun burst in such a car will not kill passengers either. The bullet, passing through the armor plate, loses a significant part of the energy. By order, it is possible to protect the rear of the car from machine gun fire.
Ride in an armored «Lada-108» pleasant, dignified and safe. Armor has almost no effect on control, slightly slower starting off, slightly tightened acceleration. When braking, more pressure on the brake pedal is required. The car rolls smoothly, bumps on the road are almost not felt.
elongated «ten» VAZ-21108 is also produced as a taxi car, it is made easier and the interior trim is more hygienic. On the thresholds and in places where the passenger often clings and steps on the threshold and the floor when landing, protective plastic is laid. The paint won't rub off and the look will be neat. The car is equipped with a radio station, a modern taximeter, an on-board computer with a mini-cash desk that issues a check.
