This all-terrain toy embodies the experimental model "Link" (in Russian - lynx). According to the company's terminology, this is a car for recreation, entertainment, and nature trips. Without a top, fashionable comfort systems, and even a windshield (replaced by two transparent shields), it has just two anatomical seats and a roll bar. According to the creators, the driver and passenger should better feel the surrounding nature (smell, noise, wind) - like riders on a motorcycle.
You can also drive the Lynx around the city: the front-wheel-drive is turned off, and only the rear ones remain leading. It was equipped with a 650cc 65 hp engine. What is missing in it: turbocharging, injection, and five (mushroom-sized mushrooms) valves per cylinder.
The Lynx looks tightly packed, and although it is not the largest of our Oka in size, it weighs a lot - 750 kg. The cockpit of the car is unusually designed - as if in a light aircraft. I pressed a button - an inclinometer in a block with an altimeter moved out of the dashboard between the wind deflectors, a very useful thing when "climbing Mount Fuji." It turns out that two "heads" on the console levers: the front one shifts gears in a five-speed box, and the rear one disables the front-wheel drive. And through two wind deflectors, this "Lynx" looks forward into the future, ready to overcome any ascents and heights.
