Originally known as the NAMI-G (for the Soviet National Automotive Institute),[1] the MeMZ-965 was designed for use in the LuAZ-967.[2] It was a 746 cc (45.5 cu in) air-cooled 90° V4,[2][3] producing 23 hp (17 kW; 23 PS).[4] It had had characteristics not common for automobile engines, including a magnesium alloy engine block, accessories mounted high (to assist in case of crossing rivers), and a rear-mounted oil cooler.[2]
When the initial MD-65 engine proposed for the ZAZ-965 proved inadequate, the MeMZ engine was selected, thanks in part to it being air-cooled, like the successful VW Type 1's boxer engine.[5] It would be developed into the 887 cc (54.1 cu in) MeMZ-966[6] and the 1,197 cc (73.0 cu in) MeMZ-968.[7]
The MeMZ-968 was offered in the ZAZ-968M in three performance levels:
