When it comes to the presidential car, the first thing that comes to mind is the Cadillac Army One, which often appears in American blockbusters, which is a tank-like existence. In addition, the most concerned presidential car in the world is the Putin car Aurus Kortezh, which has attracted global attention just after its appearance in 2017.
This Russian "domestic light" launched a civilian version of Aurus Senat, but it is limited to 150 units per year, which can be described as the exclusive of Russia's richest people. However, Aurus recently officially announced that its first SUV model, Komendant, will be officially put into production at the end of 2022, and the appearance of this car similar to Rolls-Royce Cullinan has also made it a widespread concern around the world as soon as it was launched.
The exterior design resembles Cullinan
The V8 engine is a performance monster
The most striking part of komendant, which is about to be mass-produced, is undoubtedly its design, which, judging from the patent diagram previously published by the Russian Federal Intellectual Property Service, has adopted a front face shape similar to Senat's. Previously, Kortaezh and Senat caused quite a stir when they were released, and the main reason was its Rolls-Royce-like front face shape.
Komendant adopts a large straight waterfall grille design, which is very similar to Rolls-Royce's Battenon front grille, with rectangular headlights on both sides and square air intakes at the bottom, creating a strong sense of luxury and momentum, which is also very in line with the positioning of the Aurus brand presidential car. It can be said that from the front face, Komendant is not much different from Cullinan, but this design is indeed suspected of "plagiarism" of Rolls-Royce, and it has caused a lot of controversy.
The Komendant's body side styling is not much different from Cullinan's, but closer to Land Rover's Range Rover extension. The slender body shape is combined with the majestic muscle lines and multi-spoke large-sized wheels, which even present a sense of oppression. The shape of the rear of the car is also very simple, a large number of straight lines show a certain sense of layering, and the rectangular rear tail lights that are horizontally opposed on both sides also echo the headlights in front of the face. The spoiler shape at the top of the car and the exhaust design of the bottom side also further enhance the momentum of the car.
Senat's dimensions are 5630/2020/1685 mm and the wheelbase is 3300 mm, which is expected to be much different from the size of The Senat. Also referring to Senat's interior design, Komendant should adopt the same style. The design of the entire interior is inclined to simplicity, but a large number of solid wood and high-grade leather materials set off a strong luxurious atmosphere. The double-spoke steering wheel and the through-design LCD screen and central control screen also show that the high-end sense of the entire interior is very prominent.
In terms of power, the car will be equipped with a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with a maximum output of 607Ps, matching the traditional system is a 9-speed automatic transmission, and the new car will also be equipped with advanced features such as a full-time four-wheel drive system and adjustable suspension.
Aurus offers the presidential car
It can be described as the light of Russian domestic products
Friends who pay attention to international news are estimated to know that in the early years, Putin the Great's car was a stretched version of the Mercedes-Benz bulletproof Pullman, and this car is also the car of politicians in many countries in the world. However, in the eyes of the stubborn fighting nation, the inability to provide the president with domestic cars can not show Russia's great power, so in 2013 the Russian government led and invested funds to create the luxury car brand Aurus.
The Aurus brand name is derived from two words, Aurum latin for gold, and "rus" for Russia, which is also "golden Russia". The brand belongs to the Russian National Academy of Automotive Engineering NAMI, and the Russian holding group Solers also has a stake, which can be seen from the name that Aurus carries the expectations of the entire Russian nation.
Four years later, in 2017, Aurus launched the presidential car Kortathh, and in 2018 launched the civilian version of the Senat, which is limited to 150 units sold per year, becoming the exclusive car of russia's richest people. In 2019, Aurus opened its first car showroom in Moscow and plans to open up markets in China, Europe and the Middle East, and it is expected that Aurus will launch its first new energy vehicle in 2025. For Russia, Aurus is not only a car brand, but also represents the hope of reviving Russia's industry.
Defeat the bulletproof Pullman's Kortazih
Putin the Great favored it
Putin the Great's special car Kortazih was built by Russia at a cost of 200 million US dollars, and Russia announced that the car was independently developed by Russia and produced at the Ford-Soles plant in the Republic of Tatarstan, but there is also news that Porsche participated in the engine design and technical support of the car, and Bosch provided some parts for the car.
From the appearance of the design, Kortezh and Senat are not much different, the simple design creates a sense of solemnity, but compared to the civilian version of Senat, this Kortathh whether it is the body or glass is definitely bulletproof processing, and the interior is also equipped with a complete communication system and the president's life support system.
Since it is a presidential car that represents the face of Russia, the luxury in the car naturally cannot be ignored. The interior material of the car can be described as harsh, not only equipped with an LCD dashboard and a central control LCD screen, but also equipped with a touch screen in front of the co-pilot, which is convenient for the co-pilot's security personnel to escort Putin the Great. In addition, Kortezh's steering wheel is designed with a gold Russian coat of arms, which is not available in the civilian version of Senat. In terms of power, Kortezh's powertrain is the same as senat and komendant, both powered by 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engines, matched with a 9-speed automatic transmission. It is worth mentioning that the acceleration time of a car of such a large size is only 6s per 100 kilometers.
Write at the end
With the development of the Russian automotive industry, the Aurus brand has also received attention from all walks of life. Unfortunately, although Aurus has plans to enter the Chinese market, this day has not yet arrived. With the gradual improvement of the abundance of Aurus models, it is also sooner or later for the brand to enter the Chinese market, and we look forward to the opportunity to experience the light of the domestic products of the fighting nation.
