The SG-2 racing car, known as "Torpedo-GAZ," emerged in 1951 as an evolution from the "Victory sports" model designed by A.A. Smolin.

Its specifications included a 4x2 wheel formula weighing 1100 kg, a 2700 mm wheelbase, and dimensions of 6250 mm (length), 2070 mm (width), and 1200 mm (height). Powered by an M-20 4-cylinder carbureted engine with a volume supercharger, it boasted 2487 cm³ displacement, 105 hp at 4000 rpm, a top speed of 118.7mph (191 km/h), and accelerated from 0 to 1000m in 33.7 seconds.
