MY89 Proletariat Marmot 77T
Thanks to the beginning of the USSR hegemony collapse, Bogliq USA was able to access some of the weirder designs formerly only available via the USDS (United States Diplomatic Service). Bogliq USA intended to sell these cars to the youth market under its sub-brand, Proletariat Motors, to limit any blowback if the scheme went pear shaped.
The first fruit of this venture was the Marmot. A small, rear engined, hatchback with a tiny turbocharged I3 motor and a MPEFI system reverse engineered from “appropriated” Znopresk schematics. The car was cheap, fuel efficient and fun to drive and was surprisingly tame for what it was. But it wasn’t fast or quick so the Marmot would remain a niche player as it was unable to compete head to head with mainstream Western designs…
