MARUSSIA, the first Russian supercar.
 

No longer a concept, you can buy the car for 100,000 Euros.

Here is the video of the car, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa7hX_rQCuo

If I needed a Batmobile, that would be it.

Is the Machine Gun Turret standrad or optional :)

The black car is not a production car, its still a concept, which will change most likely.

Actually Russian cars, despite their simplicity (and they basically were mostly license-produced Fiats) and conservative style, are known for their reliability and solidity. They were specifically engineered to cope with the harsh weather conditions throughout the Soviet Union.

Some of the most reliable and solid cars produced seem to come from brands that nobody equates with reliability and durability. It is a well known fact that Africa and parts of the Middle East are home to countless Renault and Peugeot vehicles from the 1960s and 1970s still soldiering on. Fascinating stuff how these days these brands always do poorly in quality surveys these days.

You should watch the top gear special on communist cars, they make some pretty valid points.

And that my friend is just not true. I would know, I grew up in Russia. All Russian cars were poorly built and ran like crap from the factory, and broke down constantly. Pretty much every car owner there had to be learn to fix them, and spend a lot of their free time fixing their cars. To make matters worse, parts were expensive and not readily available, so people did get creative. On the plus side, the cars were basic and simple so they were easier to work on.

They might be soldering on, but in what shape? Again, these cars are very simple and have no modern features, so its relatively easy to keep them going, even if they are squeaking, rusting apart, coughing, chocking and smoking.

My family owned most of the cars featured on that episode, except of course for the Chaika limo, and Jeremy couldnt even begin to describe how horrible these cars were.
