I wonder how the good old Favorit or Felicia would perform in the moose test?

All Alu engine and the engine is placed very low. Also car's overall weight is low too. These should help right? On the other side, stock suspension is soft and the car is not wide.

Couldn't find any info on the net.

 

What do you think?

 

 

Volvo 343, watch at 0:23 with cows.

 

 

4 players got in the vehicle and 5 got out, the driver must have identified as a male ice hockey player during the journey!

 

Was the Volvo 343 a common platform vehicle? It's decidedly unVolvolike!

Amazing Moose test at 0:50 and 1:32

 

 

😁

That's great.

Really made my day. 🤣

 

I really enjoy watching those 80s and 90s commercials.

Looks like SAAB invested lots of time and effort for that commercial.

Back in 80s and 90s another great way to sell your cars was winning rallies. That's what Škoda invested in.

Did you know that 1994 FIA 2-Litre World Rally Cup champion was a Favorit 136L ? (With its 1.3 8V engine!)

 

Competed against cars like:

- Opel Astra GSi 16V

- Volkswagen Golf III GTi 16V

- Opel Kadett GSI 16V

- Renault Clio Williams

- Nissan Sunny GTi

- Hyundai Lantra

- Honda Civic

- Seat Ibiza GTi 16V

- Ford Escort RS 2000 MKV

... and won!  Holy cow!

 

Also Favorit's favorite Rally was Acropolis rally. 😃 One of my most liked rally and it's tough. Škoda team won Acropolis Rally with Favorit in two consecutive years 93' and 94'.

1) It is a stupid test. Inertia still works.

2) Run over the moose.

A member of a local Skoda forum was present that day in that Acropolis Rally and describe to us how the Czechs worked with simple (but effective way) and later how the surprised the whole WRC world with that win.

That's because it was DAF's design project P900 replacement for the DAF66 - sold reasonably well, especially the 360 with the Volvo B19 engine.

2) - really bad idea, the legs just snap off and the carcase comes straight through the windscreen.

something like this

 

Turns with Felicia.

Nothing to do with a factory car

After the rollover i wanted to ''lighten the climate''.

Beyond that i think a strut bar and an anti-roll bar would help a lot a car on the road.

 

 

 

The winner is Citroen Xantia.
