History
The vintage 1950s-style GAZ-13 was succeeded by the more modern GAZ-14 Chaika introduced in 1977 (although production of both versions overlapped by several years). Although visually modern and fitted with the latest electronic luxury features, the GAZ-14 was in fact built around the drivetrain and undercarriage of the older model.[2] The GAZ-14 engine was a modernized 5,526 cc equipped with twin four-barrel carburetors and achieved 220 PS SAE gross.[2] A seven-seater, with special soundproofing, it measured 611 cm long overall and weighed in at 2,600 kg.[3] A four-door convertible, the GAZ-14-05, appeared in 1982.
