Some older Chevrolet trucks made in Brazil with the 292cu.in. (4.8L) straight-6 in a dedicated-ethanol variant had a different muffler that allowed the driver to adjust manually the intake temperature much like it's done in small aircraft to prevent carburettor icing. Anyway, since much of the tech applied to your Lada seems to be originated from Fiat, it's worth to remember that the earliest engine range made by Fiat in Brazil for almost 30 years had its intake manifold heated by the engine coolant flow either in the gasoline-powered and the dedicated-ethanol versions, while other automakers such as Volkswagen and Chevrolet have resorted to heated intake manifolds in some of their dedicated-ethanol cars.
