What do you guys think of Russians making a car??

I think this looks amazing

it is powered by
5.5l v12 from bmw 850
380hp @5300rpm
top speed 270~275km/ (170mph??)

 

This car was built sometime ago as a one-off for some Russian big-wig. There was a write-up in C&D about it a couple of years ago.

Hot car none-the-less.

 

Seems to owe a lot to the old Darrin custom designs......... and there is a touch of Raymond Lowey in there. Sweet line though.

 

850 CSI 6 Speed with a custom Volga Body.

In the C & D article they were even driving it through the snow

 

welcome to 3 years ago

 

very cool custom

 

but still hot none-the-less

 

nice car...speaking of Russian cars how about a Lada haha

 

Ray's designs were way ahead of their time. Definitely a lot of early and mid-50s Studebaker there.

 

I like the way they fuse the old and new together...

 

I'd rather have that thing than a Bentley. It's more distictive IMO.

 

i think that car looks saweeeet!! I remember that article from c&d

 

those things are a dime a dozen in cuba.

 

anyways, that volga is pretty fuckin hot.

 

what's up with that interior? and is that M series engine?

 

look at that caster!

 

Cuba - welcome to the 60s in terms of cars.

 

wow, that looks kind of nice. doubt we will ever see it here tho

 

wow are they behind the times, it seems like they never left the 50's or 60's styling behind, like a time warp

 

Thats right, because it was a one off, that was built by a highly secretive company. It probably cost way more than anyone on this forum could fathom spending on a vehcle. Not to mention it was Russian inspired.

That was the point

 

He did some of the sweetest body designs out there in his era - too radical for their time.
