Under the hood of this monster almost six-literturbo diesel engine Cummins B205, which produces over 200 horsepower. It gives the car confidence in off-road conditions. GAZ "Tiger" is equipped with a six-speed gearbox. Off-road cruising speed - 140 kilometers per hour. The suspension is independent - it was borrowed almost unchanged from the BTR-80. Increased ground clearance and automatic pressure control in tires make the car super-passable. The car can also be safely operated on public roads. There is a rear view camera, climate control. Although, of course, GAZ "Tigr" is, first of all, a military machine with all the circumstances arising from this. For example, the glass does not fall - there are only loopholes for machine guns.
Machine control facilitates power steering.For those who know how to handle a regular civilian vehicle, driving a GAZ Tiger should not make any problems. Just need to get used to the size.
Thanks to the huge suspension travel (as many as 300millimeters) the car is absolutely no difference where and how you drive. Forcing various kinds of bumps, sides or other obstacles, the suspension will swing the tiger up a bit. GAZ in front is completed with only two seats, between which there is a high transmission tunnel. It conveniently primostit leverage gearbox and hand-outs. The dashboard is organized in much the same way as in civilian cars — a speedometer, a tachometer, and fuel and temperature sensors.
"Tiger" would not be a tiger without an armored skin.For comparison, the BTR has a forehead armored in class 6 protection, and the sides only in the third. At "Tigra" the circular armor answers the fifth class of protection. The car holds a queue of Kalashnikov (caliber 7.62 millimeters), and the glass and wheels are designed to absorb at least three hits.
Native element for the predator - this is certainlywild nature. Our "Tiger" is no exception - sand dunes, snow - in any conditions a beast tamed in Nizhny Novgorod feels like home. "Tigers" are not afraid of dirt - thanks to the special design of the suspension, the car feels calm in the swamp, and can also overcome a ford with a depth of one and a half meters.
Immediately after appearing in public, manyenthusiasts began to compare GAZ "Tiger" with the American Hummer. External similarity is definitely there. The angular body, placed on the edges of the wheel, small windows - this is in fact a portrait of the absolute majority of army off-road vehicles.
One thing is to say: "Tiger" is an uncompromising machine-beast!
In retail you can find GAZ "Tigr". Its price starts from 60 "kilobaksov" in the military version, and in civilian - from hundreds.
