It’s not just the US President that rolls in a custom-made highly luxurious armoured limo. Even Russian President Vladimir Putin gets his own bespoke armoured luxury car. Known as the Cortege Aurus, this car was developed over a period of more than 5 years. Russia’s Central Scientific Research Automobile and Automotive Engines Institute developed this vehicle in cooperation with Sollers JSC, which is a Russian holding company that holds stakes in many Russian car companies. The new vehicle replaces the armoured Mercedes S600 Pullman that Russia’s Federal Protective Service, aka FSO, earlier used. The Cortege armoured car for President Vladimir Putin has been developed completely in Russia. However, it’s said that Bosch and Porsche were closely involved with the development of this car. This car looks really stately and even has some resemblance to the Rolls Royce Phantom. Powering the Cortege is a 4.6-liter V8 turbocharged petrol engine that has … [Read more...] about Vladimir Putin’s brand new presidential car is an absolute BEAST

10 super STRONG cars of the world’s most powerful people: Narendra Modi to Vladimir Putin
Being the head of a state isn’t no child’s play. The job demands a lot of hard work and being constantly on the move. Hence, to ensure their safety, the state heads use heavily armoured vehicles that are also stately enough to match their stature. Here, in this post, we have come up with as many as 10 super STRONG cars of the world’s most powerful people. Ram Nath Kovind Car: S600 Pullman Guard The President of India uses a black Mercedes Benz S600 Pullman. This one’s no ordinary S-Class.

Vladimir Putin: West wrongly sees Russia as a threat
Nataliya Vasilyeva and Jim Heintz Associated Press Published 11:52 p.m. UTC Jun 7, 2018 Moscow – Russian President Vladimir Putin says he believes other countries wrongly regard Russia as a threat and that mistaken concept can end if they see that the economic sanctions the West has put on Russia don’t serve their interests. Russia has been hit with sanctions by the United States and the West over its 2014 annexation of Crimea, its support for separatist rebels in Ukraine’s east and its alleged interference in the U.S. 2016 presidential election. Britain has also blamed the nerve agent poisoning in the U.K. of a Russian former spy and his daughter on Russia, which it denies. Both the West and Russia have expelled more than 150 diplomats on each side over that issue. “This pressure will end when our partners become convinced that the methods used by them are ineffective, counterproductive and harmful to all,” Putin said Thursday. “They see … [Read more...] about Vladimir Putin: West wrongly sees Russia as a threat
I Hope My Pal Vladimir Putin Enjoys His New Limousine
I suppose some of you might think I’m a gold-thirsty and heartless monster, but I didn’t ask for this reputation, that’s just you plebs being jealous. I do have a heart, actually, and I’ll prove it to you by telling you a little story about how I gifted a limousine to my friend, V. Now, V (Vladimir Putin to you, underling) and I go way back. We’ve been through proxy wars, shady black market deals, election hacking and sticking it out to the very end of Dexter, even though it was more painful than having your fingernails removed with tweezers. (Which is also something we may or may not have done together. The KGB isn’t exactly the March of Dimes, is what I’m saying.) I want the best for V. I really do. He worked hard to get to where he is and he’s only got his country’s best interest at heart. It’s admirable and inspirational, really, especially for someone apolitical like me. But then, a little while ago, he phoned me with … [Read more...] about I Hope My Pal Vladimir Putin Enjoys His New Limousine
This is Vladimir Putin’s new car and it’s a BEAST
Russian president Vladimir Putin is all set to get a brand new car, obviously with heavy armoring considering the various threats he faces to his life. Called the Cortege project, the car has been in development for a few years now and has just successfully completed crash test trials. Putin will be seen soon in this car, which has been developed indigenously in Russia. Bosch and Porsche are two companies that have also been involved in this project’s various engineering requirements. The purpose built cars looks quite stately and has an aura of a Rolls Royce – from the snub nosed front to the sweptail rear. The car will use a 4.6 liter V8 turbocharged petrol engine from Porsche. This engine produces 592 Bhp of peak power and 880 Nm of peak torque. It gets a 9 speed automatic gearbox developed in Russia. Expect performance despite a very heavy kerb weight that could make the car weigh over 5 tons due to all that armoring. Talking of armoring, Putin’s new car is … [Read more...] about This is Vladimir Putin’s new car and it’s a BEAST
