Volga 21 RCM: This one’s based on a BMW M3!


I’m sure most of you remember the customized Volga Coupe and Cabrios based on the BMW 850i and 650Ci Cabriolet respectively.

Manufactured in 1997 by El Motors, the retro-fashioned 21 CPM is based on a 1994 E36 BMW M3 powered by the first gen 286Hp strong 6-cylinder 3.2.
