It is a well-known fact that special vehicles are being developed around the world for party elites and government services that ensure the country's security. In appearance, they are similar to consumer models, however, if you look under the hood, the differences will be clearly visible. The Soviet Union was no exception, where its own monster of the domestic automotive industry, the GAZ-2434, was produced. It was this car that was the flagship of the automotive industry for a long time, transporting important people. It was also used during special events by various departments.
Vehicle information
Great representative of the Soviet automobile industry - the car "Volga" GAZ-2434 - has undergone many changes and upgrades over the years. However, it has always remained reliable and permanent in any weather and under any road conditions. The car was created on the basis of the 2410 model. It was produced for 8 years - from 1985 to 1993.
The model was actively used by variousstructures and departments during special events. In particular, due to the powerful boosted engine, this model was supplied for the USSR special services (KGB, GRU, etc.), as well as for the transportation of high-ranking officials. In addition, the production and delivery of the GAZ-2434 model to the countries of the socialist camp - Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and the GDR were launched. The car was not supplied to the domestic market for private use.
General Features
If we draw parallels with the appearance of the basic configuration (model 2410), then the GAZ-2434 looks like it, like two drops of water. But due to the fact that each car was assembled by hand, significant changes were made to the interior and technical parameters:
- expensive high-quality materials were used for decoration, which should have corresponded to the luxury class;
- Volga model GAZ-2434 was equipped with internal special communication devices, alarms;
- body has been reinforced to increase the cross-country ability of the car, as well as for greater passenger safety;
- significantly improved chassis performance and engine power.
These technical nuances made the car very popular among government officials and security forces. The mere sight of the car and the roar of the engine forced other drivers to obey the unspoken demand and give way to him.

The fuel tank held 55 liters, providing a long trip without refueling. And the R14 wheels significantly increased the grip of the Volga with the road surface, ensuring a smooth and safe ride.
