Lada granta

Our first-born turned out to be the most popular of contemporaries - the domestic Lada Granta. Oddly enough, but the first drawing (the one to the left and above), despite the less similarity with the original, was quoted on various sites and in printed articles (and even on the Rossiya channel!) After the official presentation of the machine.

Lada Kalina 2

Almost simultaneously with the official presentation of Grants, the first insider photographs of the updated Kalina appeared on the Internet. For them to deal with the changes to our artist was not difficult. Except that the chrome trim on the radiator lining was not clearly visible, but we took the chrome boomerangs near the foglights as LED DRLs.

Skoda octavia

We drew the new Skoda Octavia at a time when its spy photos still didn't smell on the Web. The reference point was the VisionD concept, presented in March 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show. Although not with absolute accuracy, we nevertheless foresaw that the lower edge of the head optics would be broken. In the future, this became a hallmark of cars of this brand.

Ford mondeo

The fact that all future Ford brand models will acquire a radiator a la Aston Martin, it became clear immediately after the appearance of the Ford Evos concept car. We attached it to the spy photos of the new Mondeo that appeared at that time (aka Fusion on the overseas market) and got a quite interesting car. True, on the original machine, the grill acquired a few hypertrophied dimensions.

Citroen C-Elysee

The story of the appearance of the new budget Citroen by our editorial staff is very interesting. Teasers of a new model of the company appeared on one of the foreign sites, which foreign colleagues dubbed as Citroen ID. Details of the appearance of the car were presented very widely, but the general form remained unclear. We assumed that it would be a heavily turned Peugeot 206 sedan. And although there was an error with the donor, the nature of the novelty, in our opinion, was transmitted quite reliably (Fig. To the left). Later, when photos of the Peugeot 301 appeared, it became clear that the new Citroen, which would later be called the C-Elysee, would be his sibling. It was from the photo of the 301st that the second illustration was made (Fig. Top right).

Mercedes-Benz S-Class

Exactly one year before the official presentation of the flagship Mercedes-Benz S-Class with the body index W222, his picture appeared on the cover of our publication. From the images presented here, you can see that the inaccuracies lie mainly in the form of an air intake under the radiator lining and the filling of the head optics.

Dacia logan

Official photos of the new Renault Logan for Russia appeared just yesterday, but this model under the Dacia brand has been rolling along European routes for a long time. Nevertheless, we published the first image of this car about a month before its official presentation at the 2012 Paris Motor Show.

Datsun

The history of the appearance of the image of the Russian "Datsun" is long and has a semi-detective character. The first attempt was made two years ago, according to an insider. But, as you know, people often have different visions of the same subject. And although it was already known then that the novelty, in fact, would be a turned “Grant”, our forecast turned out to be far from the truth. The second fate befell the same fate. And only when drawings of projections of a car with the NKD 2196 index appeared on the Web and it became clear that this was the same Datsun, our drawing, as they say, hit the target. This was indirectly confirmed by a very nervous reaction to the material of the Nissan representative office. A little later, after the publication of official photos of the Indian Datsun GO, we corrected the radiator trim and headlights (Fig. To the right).

Datsun

Officially, Datsun has not yet been presented for the Russian market, but on the Internet you can find its images, which make it easy to verify the accuracy of our forecasts. The difference comes down to very insignificant exterior elements.

Mazda3

One early morning, an employee of the British publication Autoexpress found an envelope in the editorial mailbox, which contained photographs of mock-ups of the third generation “nesting dolls”. Almost a spy blockbuster. Naturally, these images instantly appeared on the magazine’s website and, accordingly, immediately spread across the Web. It was not difficult to imagine what the new model would look like, and our artist brilliantly coped with the task.

Toyota Corolla

At first, we planned to draw a new Corolla, focusing on spy shots of camouflaged prototypes and the Toyota Corolla Furia concept car. And it was already started to work, as on the Internet surfaced a photo of a fully open car, just shot at a very wide angle. The leak occurred in Poland, at one of the closed dealer shows. Well, we have successfully used the leaked information.

Lada b-cross

In the case of a promising domestic microcrossover, we, as they say, ran ahead of the engine. Back in the spring of last year, an article appeared in No. 6, where we suggested that the second-generation Franco-Romanian Renault Sandero Stepway, hiding in the style of the XRAY Mattin concept, will be hidden under the model that still appears under the Lada B-Cross code. And quite recently, information has come from unofficial sources that it is with a very high degree of probability that it will take such a path at AvtoVAZ. Or maybe they just read our article there?
