The Moskvitch 404 Sport was a prototype sports car from Soviet manufacturer Moskvitch introduced in 1954. [2]

It was based on the Moskvitch 400/420 and used a new, experimental overhead valve hemi engine, with a compression ratio of 9.2:1, which produced 58  hp (43  kW ; 59  PS ). [2] Fitted with four sidedraft carburettors, [2] the 404's top speed was 91 mph (146 km/h). The car was quite successful in racing and won three Soviet Championships. [2]
