Garage 54 takes its UAZ-based Cybertruck replica out for a test drive

The famous Russian tuner has posted a video showcasing its Tesla Cybertruck parody in action. Based on the chassis of an old UAZ-469, the vehicle is supposed to be fully functional.

The styling definitely reminds us of the original Cybertruck by Elon Musk, primarily thanks to the correctly copied body proportions, similar-looking wheels and lighting. The cabin quickly dispels the illusion with its ancient UAZ dash panel, controls and tech.

Garage 54 says it was not ready to take the car to the city streets just yet because of the lack of side mirrors, so the crew brought it to a snow-covered field instead. Despite its powerful tires and AWD, the Cybertruck wannabe struggled to move its incredible stainless-steel bulk powered by a meager 75-hp (56-kW) engine.
