Interesting. There is/was a long-running 'Kortezh' programme with input from Porsche that led to the Aurus marque. So far they've come up (or plan to produce) with the Senat saloon and limousine, Arsenal van, Komendant SUV, and Merlon motorbike. Initially meant for governmental use, but they were trying to spin it off as a Russian Mercedes-Benz or Rolls Royce.Russia’s new Moskvitch car looks identical to Chinese model

this is actually quite a beautifully pulled-off design. 50s american mixed with some unique euro stance/styling. and the V12? incredible. i would absolutely kill for one of these. the power to weight is a bit off with it being 4600 lbs (2080 kg). i have a mad respect for the men who built it.
