Putin's special plane pulled a special car, more than 6.6 meters bulletproof! Much more expensive than Rolls-Royce
As early as the Soviet era, the Soviet automobile industry started not late, if it is now 50 years old car fans, should remember the Volga car, Watts Hunter, or Radaniwa, some of which are still in production, but take the Watts Hunters, almost and domestic production of Beijing 212, are a bit outdated products, needless to say market share, sales are only a few corners. In fact, looking at Russia's automobile industry now, it is indeed relatively backward, at least now young people have heard of German, Japanese, American, French, and Korean cars, but they rarely hear of Russian cars. In the past few years, Putin's car has always used the Mercedes-Benz S-class, but in recent years, there have been changes, such as some time ago Putin arrived in Beijing by special plane to participate in the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, and pulled a special car.
At that time, when I saw this special car on the TV screen, even the editor himself was a little hesitant, how did this look too much like a Rolls-Royce Phantom? A closer look reveals that this car is definitely not a Rolls-Royce, but an authentic Russian car, and it is a special version. From the car logo, it can be recognized that the model belongs to the Russian independent brand Arus, and it can be seen from the front and rear of the car that the model is Arus senat, but it is very different from the standard version, and it is obviously the highest-end special customized version.
The only Putin car is an extended version, and the total length of the body has been stretched to 6630mm, which is more than 6.6 meters, which is longer than some large-size pickup trucks. The body width is more than two meters, the wheelbase is up to 4.3 meters, so it is very exaggerated to see the side of the body, obviously larger than the conventional executive class car, the body B-pillar position limit is elongated, the rear row is all privacy glass configuration, and there is a bulletproof function.
The overall appearance design sense is indeed a bit of a Rolls-Royce taste, but careful identification is still different, although the front of the front face of the air intake net is also a straight waterfall chrome style, but relatively narrow, the tail is a layered three-dimensional light, the wheel hub belongs to the more retro pot lid wheel shape style. The Big Mac actually has only 4 seats inside, with a 2+2 seat layout and partitions between the front and rear rows.
If you compare with other local Russian cars, the interior configuration of this Arus senat is simply ceiling level, with LCD instruments and large inlaid navigation screens in the front row, and the special model provides some active and passive defense function buttons. The two oversized VIP seats in the rear are independently adjustable, and the maximum lengthening can be completely formed into a half-reclining posture.
Arus Auto officially did not announce the weight of this extended version of the model, but judging from the size positioning and bulletproof level, this car is expected to be at least 4 tons or more, so the requirements for power are very high. It uses a large-displacement 6.6T twin-turbo V12 engine, which is similar to the Rolls-Royce top-mounted model, with a maximum output of 850 horsepower and a peak torque of 1320 Nm. And because the model is a customized version, can not be mass production, the cost will be very high, if you count the early cooperation research and development costs, from scratch to create this car has cost at least about 200 million US dollars, which is much more expensive than the Rolls-Royce Phantom.
The question is, do you think this Arus is domineering? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area and discuss with fans! Spend a second to pay attention and make good friends for a lifetime!
