See what Russia's Controversial President, Vladimer Putin, Drives

It is known Information that Automobile manufacturers, in a bid to be patriotic, modify and produce the cars that their leaders drive such as the German President being driven in an Audi, a German Car or the French President, Emmanuel Macron being driven in an array of Flagship Citroen's and Peugeot's. Now Russia, though producing unreliable and mediocre cars in the past such as their infamous Lada brand, have recently stepped it up a notch by producing a High Level bullet-proof Vehicle for their Leader,Vladimer Putin, to be Chauffeured in. Though it resembles a Rolls Royce Phantom, The Car is so good that the Manufacturers of it have gone underway to produce civilian versions for use by the common man. The name of the Car is called Aurus Senat and it shows that Russia's reputation for not wanting to bow down to any other nation has been made manifest by not borrowing cars (Clearing Throat) for use by the Presidency.


To get so much mass moving, the Aurus Senat is powered by a hybrid powertrain combining a 4.4-liter V-8 with an electric motor. The V-8 delivers 598 horsepower(35hp more than a Phantom) on its own and the electric motor adds 40 hp which brings it to 638 hp combined. A nine-speed automatic channels drive to all four wheels(4WD) and a 6.6-liter V-12 is still in development and is expected to deliver over 800 hp(100hp more than a Lamborghini Aventador). Porsche was hired to help develop both engines.


The interior is as opulent as the cabins found in Bentleys and Rolls-Royces, and armor protection can be added should the customer desire. Premium touches include reclining rear seats, an in-built refrigerator, and Aurus-branded crystal glasses.
Deliveries of the Aurus Senat are due to commence in early 2019. Just 150 are planned for each of the first two years of production though this will be increased to between 5,000 and 10,000 vehicles in 2021 based on demand. Sales will initially be in Russia but Aurus is looking at other markets, specifically China and the Middle East.

Sadly, Cadillac doesn't have any plans to launch a civilian version of its new “Beast” limo being developed for President Donald Trump, since the vehicle is based on a modified truck platform. The secret service has already taken delivery of the limo and Trump should be using it shortly.

Below are Pictures of the very Handsome Aurus Senat. Nigeria will get there someday. Innoson Motors(IVM) is a step in the right direction, I beleive in this Great Country. Baby steps....
