Marussia: B2 news

From Jalopnik: http://jalopnik.com/5360581/marussia...cond-super-car

What happens when newly-monied Russians design a super car? You get the successor to the first Russian super car, the B1. It's the Marussia B2 and it's got looks to shame a Ferrari Enzo and, supposedly, a 420HP Cosworth mill.

We weren't holding out much hope for the Marussia B2, but it's turned out to be one of the pleasant surprises of the Frankfurt Motor Show with Enzo-like looks and supposedly a 420HP Cosworth mill.

We're still a little foggy on the details, but it seems the Marussia B2 is built on the same frame as it's B1 predecessor but gets a specially built 3.5 liter Cosworth V6, ranging from 245 HP to 420 HP. Whatever the powerplant, it's hard to argue on the looks — the thing is bad ass. It's got more cut lines than a knife fighter and while the forward visibility is probably pretty terrible, awesomely ridiculous is the only way we can describe it.

Cool exterior but kind of Soviet-style interior...

Wow. I just noticed the size of the side and rear windows. Not only will you have massive blind-spots in that thing, but more importantly you will not be seen in it.

I like it. But it kinda looks like a tarantula, especially in that first pic.

Wow, thumbs up for the exterior, but the interior seems very cold and bleak.

Kind of reminds me of an R8 from the side.

Agree that it is original. First pic kinda reminded my of the old school batmobile but the other pics make it look very sexy and edgey. imo.
