Lazarev has teamed up with construction firm Vector to manufacture 100 of the vehicles; the futuristic design was first proposed to Lada manufacturer AvtoVAZ last year.
However, Lada politely declined the chance to become the makers of the first Russian supercar:
"AvtoVAZ's market segment is mass models, predominantly for users with a family. A low-riding sports car without a trunk is not our style," said Avtovaz.
Instead, constructors Vector answered Dmitry's call to make his dream supercar."Right now, a team of engineers have decided to make Dimitry's dream a reality. The construction firm Vector has started production on a limited number of the supercars, under the brand 'Vector Raven," announced the team.
Though Lazarev still has hopes to team up with Lada in the future, he and Vector are now looking for more partners to help construct the vehicle. "We invite all constructors who have expertise in suspension and aerodynamics, as well as marketing theorists able to help determine a price level," said Lazarev on Monday.In keeping with its reputation as a producer of more practical vehicles Lada's latest innovation is the Vesta Cross Concept, an off road vehicle which will be unveiled at the Moscow Off-Road Show 2015, at the end of August.
