LADA expands the model range and presents a new LADA Vesta Sport – the family’s flagship of one of the most popular models in the Russian market. This is a car for those who strive for permanent “drive” both in life and on road and searche for a car with sports character.
The new LADA Vesta Sport inherited the look of the concept car Vesta Sport Concept, first showcased at the MIMS 2016.
LADA Vesta Sport has embodied the energy of the Brand`s victories in the major international and Russian Motorsport Championships such as WTCC and RSCR. The new model is a logical solution of the transfer of LADA sports success from the racetracks to the public roads.
The original front bumper gives the LADA Vesta Sport a more sporty and dynamic look. Developed lower spoiler increasing the downforce on the front axle is organically integrated in its design.
The main DNA element in LADA`s design, the X-shaped graphic, has been changed in the front bumper. Its trapezoidal shape expanding in the lower part was accentuated with the chrome matte inserts in the form of boomerangs. The plastic parts inside which the front fog lamps are located have been deliberately increased in size. These elements now slightly protrude beyond the dimensions of the bumper and even more emphasize the dynamic appearance of LADA Vesta Sport visually expanding its dimensions. The red horizontal insert visually unites the elements of the front part of the car and completes its X –shaped graphics.
The sporty appearance of the car is being increased with looking at LADA Vesta Sport in profile. First of all, due to the front wings with extended wheel arches providing the aggression to the model. The car got the original 17-inch wheels with low-profile tires, as well as aerodynamic door sills. To ensure more sporty behavior of the car on the road, its clearance was lowered by 16 mm and now it is 162 mm that visually added the swiftness to the silhouette. LADA Vesta Sport’s rear-view mirrors got the black glossy pads and are now made in a single color composition with a false radiator grille.
The design of the rear bumper of LADA Vesta Sport looks sculptural and expressive. First and foremost, it is emphasized with contrasting black trim-vent side panels, within which are sensors with park assist. These elements visually expand the car’s appearance at the rear. Chrome-plated double exhaust tubes are integrated into the decorative lining at the center of the lower part of the bumper. To reduce the lifting force, an integrated spoiler is installed in the trunk lid, the size and shape of which were carefully selected during the car’s aerodynamic tests in the laboratory in Togliatti. The additional LED brake light is also an integral part of the spoiler.
The final element in the design of the car’s rear part is a three-dimensional nameplate Sport on the trunk lid and a “red tape” organically enveloping the rear fog light and visually combining all the new design elements.
According to the Director of LADA design center Steve Mattin, the bright and sporty design of LADA Vesta Sport is a kind of energy shell embodied both passion and adrenaline given by the powerful car’s temperament.
