VAZ
«Tarzan»
VAZ-210934 «Tarzan» is the basic model of the family of all-wheel drive vehicles, developed by design group of «DECON», prepared jointly with the company «Lada-Consul» to the production of the JSC «AVTOVAZ». PI development of «Tarzan» used the serial nodes and арегаты VAZ automobiles.
«Tarzan» - this is the car with the wheel formula 4x4, which combines the comfort of a two-wheel drive cars of family «Samara» and cross the «NIVA», which can be with success used both on the highway and on the roads.
The finalized the body is installed on the frame by means of резинометаллических elements.
The frame design «Tarzan» has allowed to increase the strength and durability, reduces noise and vibration in the passenger compartment.
Due to the elongated base and an independent rear suspension behavior of the car at high speeds become more confident, and the flow smoother and softer.
The innovative design of the overhead of plastic parts of the body gives the car a new original image, while maintaining the continuity of the appearance «of the city of Samara».
History of creation
In 1997, the design group DECON jointly with the company «Lada-Consul» and STC OPP AVTOVAZ created an original and comfortable SUV under the name of «Tarzan». He is a hybrid of the body two-wheel drive models Vase and frame chassis with the elements of the transmission and the nodes of the suspension of «Niva». All units, except for the frame and elongated shaft, serial. The engine in the engine compartment installed longitudinally that, thanks to the presence of the frames of large alterations of the body does not require.
Rear independent suspension collected using the drive axles and the hinge of the front axle of the «Niva», and it can be individually configured by stiffness. Rear brake disc. Mechanical drive the Parking brake is carried out thanks to the original optional accessory to a disk brake, developed by the specialists of the company «Lada-Consul». The first generation of «Тарзанов» equip three types of bodies family «Samara»: 3 - and 5-door type hatchback (respectively modification 210834 and 210934), in addition, there was a 4-door sedan 210994. Models looked quite unusual: the junction of Rama and of the body was disguised plastic masks and muscular appearance of the form developed wheel arch extensions and aprons bumpers. This SUV, especially with the «eighth» body, like sports-prototype for rally-raids. It is no wonder, what exactly this version in the family of «Tarzan-1» was the most popular, but sedans practically did not order. In 1999 appeared off-road cars of family «Tarzan-2», all the fundamental difference which consisted in the use of bodies of the «tenth» family. First came universal 2111-90, then hatchback 2112-90, sometimes called «Tarzan-3» or «Tarzan-Sport». A more solid body «11-th and 12-th» models, fixed to the top of the chassis through the rubber cushions, gave «Тарзанам» of the second generation is quite an elegant look, reduced noise while driving. Wheel arch extensions, complete with plastic covers on the bottom of the door, like a tubular body protection, given exterior «Tarzan» «off-road» gloss. Quite interesting to look utilitarian version of «Tarzan-TCB», designed for communal services and is equipped with the original plastic horse riding firm «САТОЛ». Salons «Тарзанов» practically do not differ from the initial VAZ and distinguish them only by the presence of additional levers of transfer gear. Steering is equipped with an amplifier and an adjustable steering column type 2115. Improved ride quality and promotes independent rear suspension, fitted with газонаполнеными shock absorbers and reinforced stabilizer of transverse stability. When you move even a significant irregularities does not occur, the posting of the rear axle. Thus, the «Tarzan» and permeability higher than that of the «Niva». In addition to the usual engine VAZ-21214 «Tarzan» equip and powerful engine of VAZ-2130-20 with distributed injection. Models are made only under the order, therefore, their production for all years did not exceed several hundreds.
Technical equipment
As is known, everything of genius is simple. So the design principle of "Tarzan" you can describe just a few words: on a specially made frame mounted units and aggregates of "Niva", and the resulting thus the "cart" is the body of one of the two-wheel drive models Vase. Earlier for this applied the body "eights" and "nines", now it is decided to use a more modern "eleventh". Four people gather "Tarzan" of components for only six hours! And replace the body can be a hour and a half, even the brake actuator is in this case the pump is not necessary.
It is clear that the "highlight" of the machine is exactly this is the "cart". So we will look at its design in more detail. The basis of all is the original frame of rectangular profile variable cross-section, in which there are: the engine of VAZ 21231 working capacity of 1800 cm?, standard "нивовские" transmission, "handouts" and the front axle. And here is the rear axle of "Tarzan" is unusual: it is again the front axle of a "Niva", but... " mounted "ass backwards", i.e. rotated by 180 degrees. To ensure the mechanical drive of the Parking brake system, the designers of the company "Lada-Consul" have developed additional devices to the disk brake mechanisms. Finishing our conversation about the design of a machine, we note that it includes the alloy wheel disks and tires dimension 205/70R15.
Appearance of the new "Tarzan" leaves no one indifferent. The large wheels, high landing of the body, the original design of the elements of protection, installed in front of and behind, give the car at the same time and aggressiveness, and elegance. Some difficulties when entering forgotten immediately after the разместишься in the passenger compartment. Everything seems like a normal VAZ 2111, but the sensations are very different. And this is no wonder - higher location above the road not only provides better visibility (highly I sit, far away look), but also creates a sense of greater security, and protection. Transmission lever is in the usual place, use the same it's more convenient, because the clarity of switching the "classic" boxes has long been a kind of benchmark. Levers of control "раздаткой" are very unusual, but it posed no problems. The movement of the hand with the use of them seemed even more natural, than in "the Field".
An interesting feature was discovered in the trunk. Due to the fact that the body has risen above the wheels, it is possible to "eliminate" the rear wheel arches, making the floor of the trunk is absolutely smooth. The truth is implemented this idea will be a little later.
In General, those who are accustomed to вазовским machines, feel at home in the salon "Tarzan" without any problems. And that's how the car is on the move?
Moves the "Tarzan" very, very confident: tangible torque 1800 - still engine at the bottom and "нивовская" transmission with a large ratio of doing their job. And like acceleration, no "off-road" frisky. But more amazing is not even. On the level of noise and vibration "Tarzan" absolutely not similar to the "Niva" - in this respect he is the most that neither is on the car!
On a good track machine easily accelerates up to 150 km/hour., even at this speed in the passenger compartment can talk, not raising his voice. The car goes very smoothly, without the inherent short-базной "Field of the" галопирования, confidently "prescribing" high-speed turns. Are not afraid of "Tarzan" and sufficiently serious damage to the pavement. Independent suspension successfully cope with the bumps, even at speeds above 100 km/hour.
Four powerful disk brake mechanism of "pushing back" the machine is very effective. Perhaps, in the braking characteristics of the "Tarzan" has outstripped not only a "Niva", but also переднеприводные really VAS first generation models.
It's time to try a novelty in rough terrain. Include a lower gear, block the center differential and direct the machine directly on the hill with steep slope, which she confidently defeated. "And here "Tarzan" in no way yield to the "Field"? However, the wonders of the account still does not exist. At the end of the lift, in turn, car clings protective thresholds land, affects the longer wheelbase. But hardly a reduction of geometric flotation can be considered serious недотстатком "Tarzan."
In General, the "Tarzan" very much. High dynamic performance, a good level of comfort, and most importantly - safe behaviour on roads with разлиным views of pavement and off-road makes it very attractive. Transport as for long distance travel, as well as for Sunday's attacks on the nature.
Odnm the word "Tarzan" - this is the car преднаназначенный for fans of active lifestyle.
