Every figure says what it counts.
No production figures recorded yet.
History
From the beginning, GAZ planned three engines for the new medium-class car: an updated four-cylinder from the GAZ-21, a V6 and a V8. The V6 never reached production. The V8 was a 5.53-litre unit inherited from the earlier Volga GAZ-23 and the Chaika line.
The small-series V8 version, the GAZ-24-24, was put into production at the end of 1973, mostly for security agencies. The site also notes that GAZ fitted some cars on special order with imported six-cylinder engines as a cheaper alternative to the V8 "chaser".
