The Lada Revolution was a series of Sports Prototypes first presented in 2003 by Russian brand Lada (part of AvtoVAZ).
In 2001, Lada would begin the development of the Revolution. The car would share its parts largely with older VAZ cars.[1] In 2003, the first running models were built and would undergo testing by NAMI, at the Nürburgring and Moscow Ring.[2][3][4] After undergoing testing, the car would be unveiled at the 2003 Geneva Auto Show.[5] The car would be well received by the public, winning awards at the 2003-2004 Union of Designers of Russia, and other car of the year awards from Russian car magazines.[6] After the 2003 Auto show season was over, Lada would create "National Racing Series LADA" the first national racing history in Russia since Formula Easter. The series would have seven rounds, beginning at Moscow, and ending at St. Petersburg. The series would begin May 14, 2004, at the Moscow Ring. All races in 2004, 2005, and 2006 would go as scheduled, broadcast by Russia-2.[7][8][9] In 2007 was cancelled due to financial issues, and would not resume in 2008 because of the 2008 financial crisis. In total at least 48 Revolutions would be built, with 3 being totaled in the racing series. [10][11][12]
