Photographs of scale models of two luxury cars that Marussia Motors is developing for senior state officials and the mass market under the so-called Cortege project have appeared on the Internet for the first time.

The project dates to 2012, when President Vladimir Putin ordered government departments to find a domestic alternative to the upscale German car brands, including Mercedes and BMW, in which he and other officials are typically chauffeured around.

A number of domestic firms have been tasked with designing Putin's new limousine. ZiL, which used to produce luxury cars for Soviet leaders, presented Putin with its vision of a presidential machine in December 2012, but he was reportedly unimpressed with the design.

The two firms currently collaborating on the project are Marussia, a Russian sports car maker founded in 2007 that owns it own formula 1 team, and the state-run NAMI auto institute. The companies are now working together on a core blueprint, after which they will split and tailor the joint design to suit different audiences, a Marussia spokesman said, Autovesti reported Monday.

Marussia will develop cars for the general public, while NAMI will produce vehicles for the president's motorcade, the spokesman said.

The cars will be mass produced starting in 2018, Marussia said.

Back in February, we told you that Marussia Motors and Russian website Cardesign were hosting a design contest for a new presidential limo for Vladimir Putin. With more than 100 suggestions submitted, the contest has now come to an end, the vehicle envisioned by Yaroslav Yakovlev and Bernd Weel being declared the winner.

The new limousine design was created by the two over the course of three weeks, and the end result is quite impressive. The vehicle sports a long hood and an imposing front end with huge Rolls-Royce-inspired fascia. Round the back, the design is more original, with unique taillamps and a center-mounted dual-exhaust system.

No word on whether this ZiL concept will be put into production, but if it gets green-lighted it has a great chance to become the most exquisite presidential limo to roam the streets. Now let's wait and see if it gets Vladimir Putin's approval.

My computer can generate better cars

I think that people are missing the main point of this article..

It demonstrate that Russia has alternatives to Western goods and can quickly replace any sanctions on imports of Western goods.

sanctions are not for imports of consumer goods, I think Iran can buy all the American cars it wants no one will stop it.

Like to have one armored Tigr SUV can you help?

 

[Desert Fox]

they are in their own league, you pay all your mortgages for 3 years to afford one. Piece of trash cars

Though, i agree that they are really expensive and the average citizen of any nation cannot afford to buy one however you can't deny that German cars are of a very high quality standard, in fact the best cars in my opinion.

But again, the average person can't afford a high end German car, so yes a cheap and more affordable option like a Russian car would make due, and that necessarily doesn't mean that a Russian car is crappy just because its affordable.

Volkswagen? That's not a expensive car. Plus you have the entire line of Japanese, American, South Korean, Italian (fiat), French lines, if you're in the market for an inexpensive car. Why would you even consider a Russian car?

Perhaps a patriotic Russian in Russia would.

No, he salutes the Russian flag and hops into his Merc and drives off into the sunset.

Call me cheap, but I think that Toyota's are the best.

My dad once had a Lada though. Very reliable engine, but very uncomfortable.

 

[Hamartia Antidote]

Does Lada make any passenger cars above the compact size?
