Well done, kwgibbs. One point for you..
Virus (Вирус) - Soviet self-made car, built by A.P. Samoilov (A.П. Самойлов) in 1989.
P.S. Thanks, Paul, for your large photo, I hadn't seen it before..

You'll be interested in a back view then. Not so cool like the front but a quite remarkable work for a selfbuilt car!

The car "Virus" and the plane "UT-2" (by A.I. Volkov) were demonstrated at the exhibition in Volgograd. They have nothing in common ..

Where did you take these pictures?  :D

Does the word "Virus" have the same meaning in Russian as it does in English?  If so, that seems like a very strange name to give a car.  Sorta like "The Brain Cancer Special."

The word "Virus" have the same meaning in Russian and in English..
Apparently, the author has been very developed imagination, as opposed to all of us .. :D
