This time everything is good

Most of us are no longer surprised that all cars made in Russia need numerous modifications and do not constitute serious competition to foreign analogs.

First-hand information

Famous Russian showman Nikolai Fomenko argues that the idea of designing and manufacturing his own sports cars came to him at the Chinese stage of the world championship FIA GT. Then the driver during the training arrival broke his "Aston Martin". Before the start, there were only four hours, and there was simply no hope of restoring the "iron horse" at that time. However, Chinese experts did seemingly impossible: they made a wing and bumper of Kevlar (para-amide fiber), intended for the English supercar. As a result, Fomenko's car with dignity withstood the tests on the track, and the racer himself has since dreamed of creating a serial road car on the basis of a spatial frame.

The idea of the Chinese allowed the Russians to abandon the costly metalworking and turn the production of vehicles into the simplest technological process, comparable in labor costs with the assembly of mobile phones.

The main advantage of the Marussia manufacturers is that they produce a car with the possibility of a body change. In addition, it is planned to collect sedans and crossovers of this brand.

According to Fomenko, "Marousi" is extremely reliable. If necessary, they even whisk up to Vladivostok. The idea of an unusual name belongs to the ex-wife of the showman - Maria Golubkina.

Judging by the reports of the first happy owners, "Maroussia" is a car for which domestic producers will not be ashamed.
