1988 AZLK - 2144 Istra
The Istra, a standout creation from the renowned AZLK, stands as a captivating development. Emerging between 1985 and 1988 under the "Istra" project, this car boasted notable features such as an automatic transmission, a fuel-efficient diesel engine (3-cylinder turbodiesel ELKO with 68 hp), and standard air conditioning. However, despite these promising attributes, the project remained confined to the conceptual stage and was never realized. Today, an abandoned AZLK plant hosts a prototype of the Istra, serving as a reminder of its intriguing but unrealized potential.
