He is really a leather, although the master of Valery Tatars is practically nothing about the technology - know-how. Skin lined body surface, interior luggage compartment, Engine parts, not exposed to extreme temperatures. Oddly, such a coating carries not only aesthetic, but also a functional load: the car cannot be scratched with small blows (for example, pebbles), it is easy to wash it, and - what we felt themselves - it is very pleasant to touch it. Moreover, I want to hug.
Interestingly, the "Atelier of Functional Luxury" paid attention not only to the body and the cabin, but also motor compartment. Finishing technology allows you to favorate the skin elements subjected to serious heating. Thanks to this, the car turned out to be sustained in a single style - it is difficult to find an element deprived of a leather coating. Unless to look under the bottom.
Phase first: Irkutsk
History began in 2007, when the Irkutsk Castomer Evgeny Mikhlik bought a regular "Toyota Crowner" of 1993 to make the original show-car on its basis - whether the "Volga" GAZ-21, or the famous Holden Efijy concept. The work began to boil, and by 2009 a very spectacular four-door body from the composite was ready - easy for its sizes, interesting. The body itself was made by filling the composite (glassate) in a predetermined matrix, its thickness of about 10 mm, and the steel frame was welded inside - for strength and safety. Many technological elements were changed, for example, a custom polyurethane suspension was installed. Even unfinished, the unscrewed machine aroused the interest of the media, video, articles appeared.
But before painting it did not reach - after the winter test drive, Eugene decided to make a coupe from the car. Changed the shape of the sidewalls of the body, cut the rack (doors, by the way, originally from Honda HR-V) - and brought the car that received the final name GAZ-21 Concept, to perfection. Bordeed beauty with a hidden under the hood 450-strong Toyota 2JZ-Gte engine produced a furor and exhibitions, and on the streets. But time went, the master was striving for new projects - and the car was decided to sell. More precisely, the body.
Body material: reinforced fiberglass // Dimensions: 4820 x 1760 x 1425 mm // Ground clearance: 170 mm // Number of seats: 3 // Engine: Toyota 1GZ-JE, 2492 cm 3 // Power: 210 hp // Fuel consumption in the city: 12 l / 100 km.
Phase Second: Moscow
Meanwhile, in Moscow, another master is the leader of the "Atelier of Functional Luxury" and a specialist in working with the skin and fur Valery Tatars - developed a technology for finishing a car with a resistant leather coating. There was a demand for such a project - the original caste car was required for the English Customer. The body of the Mihlika seemed ideal for a similar machine, and the GAZ-21 Concept received the second life in the form of a new car - Amulet.
The body was designed for reliable CROWN, and the new owners set it to another, more new instance of the frame of the same model. The engine has changed - now under the hood of Toyota 1GZ-JE (by the way - from personal impressions - the car is very ingrady and at the same time soft). Technique was engaged in the company "Contour-Auto". The chip of the "amulet" is not even in the design, but in design. Because the car at close acquaintance gives the impression insane.
This is a work of art. Car not just covered with skin canadian Bizona different colors (brown and ivory). The seams are thought out - they carry the functional load and serve as elements of decorating. After the tightness, the aerographist artist Mikhail Zolotov painted a car in the Pinstrapping technique: inflicted fine patterns and paint images with a natural gold content. The salon is separated by the furs of the Scandinavian mink, Barguzinsky sable, Siberian brown mink, and some elements are cut out of the bone of the mammoth.
Above the price of 88 million, the creators of the show-kara laugh. The machine is not yet estimated: this is a rather difficult process, since the assessment is usually based on comparison, and this project is unique. So a beautiful figure is a preliminary PR (the car is finished only in early August). After the assessment by experts, it can either cheaper or - what is more likely to rise in price.
The car is interesting to look at. All items are decorated differently, everywhere a sea of \u200b\u200bsmall parts: a wooden bear figure near the passenger seat, the runic symbolism on the spare wheel, symbolic embroidery and leather patterns under the feet, on the roof, on the inner surfaces of the hood and trunk, on the engine. It is like a picture of Bosch - the insane many of the incompatible elements add up in a one-piece picture.
One way or another, after exploring the Amulet, one can say one thing. Russian kastomasing exists. And he does not follow the footsteps of the American, and has its own, very stylish and interesting face. Natural skin covered.

And not more common and affordable materials, is evidence of your respectability and good taste. Leather salon is able to make any car truly stylish and exclusive. However, to buy such a car, it is necessary to come carefully, because the design of the salon natural is not only the advantages, but also.
What are the advantages of a car with a leather interior?
One of the main advantages of the car is practicality when carrying out cleaning. If on the seats, covered with leather, shed some kind of liquid, then quite completely erased with a soft cloth, while on conventional covers from the fabric would certainly be spots. For more serious cleaning of the cabin, you can use suitable household chemicals. What kind of skin care means is suitable for your car, you will tell you a car dealership consultant.The leather interior is an indispensable option for those who truly monitor their health and seeks to surround themselves and their loved ones with extremely natural and environmentally friendly materials. In addition, in the skin, the dust pliers, which themselves are capable of causing the strongest allergic reactions in sensitive people. Among other things, such ticks are carriers of various diseases.
Finally, the leather interior of the car is a certain testimony of the status of its owner, which ultimately has a positive effect on his image.
A number of disadvantages of cars with leather interior
One of the most striking features of the covered skin of the salon is its ability to heat up exclusively in the sun or becoming the burning cold winter time. Having bought such a car, his owner quickly assimilates that in the heat or a student winter day you should not immediately sit in the salon - first you need to make working on the aircraft so that the skin cooled or, on the contrary, heated to an acceptable temperature.Another difference between the leather from more familiar is that they are very slippery. However, the use of seat belts and an anatomical shape of seats with decent side support negates this feature.
If the minuses of the covered skin of the salon are not essential for you, then you will appreciate the respectability, practicality and durability of such design.
