The car "Marusya" - the first domestic sports car in the history of the Russian car industry

The sports car "Maroussia" dates back to 2007. It was then that VAZ was offered the idea of creating the first racing car in Russia . This idea quickly came to life, and already in 2 years in the framework of the international auto show in Geneva was a new domestic sports car. Surprisingly the audience car was not the next tuning version of VAZ, but a completely new car, developed from scratch. Officially, the serial production of the model began in 2010, but for some reason the sports car was not given much recognition among car enthusiasts. In this article we will look at how Russian engineers managed to construct the car "Maroussia" for 2 years, and how much it costs.

Appearance

The design of the novelty really was unique. Looking at it, the language does not turn to say that it is a domestic VAZ. According to its body structure, the Russian car "Maroussia" is more like some "Batmobile". Similar in our region has never been produced. The front has a lot of features. In fact, the front side of it does not have a shock element - it's a solid air intake located along the entire perimeter of the bumper. Triangular headlights make the car more aggressive. In general, strict lines and shapes in the novelty are more than enough. If you look at the car from a different angle, you can see that his body is visually divided into three parts. The front, together with its sharp angles and wings, abruptly stops in the middle where the door is. Then in the back of the car "Maroussia" again expands. As claimed by the developers themselves, this was done to reduce aerodynamic drag. By the way, the car itself is so small and narrow that only one janitor can be seen on the windshield. And finally about the wheels. The car "Marusya" is equipped with such large disks that their location exceeds the level of the hood and even slightly reaches the steering wheel.

Inside

Inside, everything is just as strange and incomprehensible. In the development of the salon, the engineers set themselves the goal of creating a completely new and sporty interior. Indeed, inside the car is definitely not left without attention. What does the front panel, made in the form of the letter "M", and 6 liquid crystal monitors located along the entire perimeter of the torpedo! But here's just the question: "Why do the driver already have 6 on-board computers?" Apparently, this is another riddle of domestic developers. What really deserves praise is leather upholstery and 3D weaving.

Under the hood of the novelty is a six-cylinder "atmospheric" with a capacity of 300 horsepower and a working volume of 3.5 liters. Also, buyers will be offered two 2.8-liter units with capacities of 360 and 420 "horses". Thanks to such characteristics of engines, the novelty is able to gain a hundred in just 3.8 seconds. This figure is really similar to the data of Italian sports cars. .

As for the cost, a new car "Maroussia" is available in Russia at a price of 5.5 to 7 million rubles. It becomes clear why this sport car is so irrelevant among domestic motorists.
