Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox automobile The GAZ-14 Chaika[1] is an automobile manufactured by the Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod (GAZ, Gorky Automobile Plant) from 1977 to 1988 as a generation of its Chaika marque.

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 Шаблон:Convert equipped with twin four-barrel carburetors and achieved Шаблон:Cvt SAE gross.[2] A seven-seater, with special soundproofing, it measured Шаблон:Convert long overall and weighed in at Шаблон:Convert.[3] A four-door convertible, the GAZ-14-05, appeared in 1982.[4]

The GAZ-14 Chaika remained in production from 14 October 1977 to 1988,[3] when the Chaika limousine brand was discontinued.

Around a hundred GAZ-14 were built each year, with total production (including units assembled in 1989 from spare parts) reaching 1,114.[4] On orders from Mikhail Gorbachev, the blueprints and tooling were destroyed as part of his "fighting privileges" campaign under perestroika.[4]
