Years later, this car, which remained a prototype, disappeared into no one knows where, but after 20 years it was copied by the Italians under the name Ghia Selene. Later, the Ghia company presented the only sample of "Selena" to Soviet auto designers as a token of gratitude, after which the traces of this project were completely lost … At least, experts were sure. However, half a century later, in the middle of the 2000s, the dusty and abandoned "Selena" was found in one of NAMI's basements, taken out and restored.
