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). Fitted with four sidedraft carburettors, the 404's top speed was 91 mph (146 km/h). The car was quite successful in racing and won three Soviet Championships.
