Ordering Your Autocratmobile

 

Vladimir Putin's ride used to be a Mercedes-Benz but then he got all nationalist about it and ordered the production of this ungainly beast: the Aurus Senat. He's got the stretch version, above. You can order your own oligarch-ship straight from the factory. Comes armor-plated, and with those funky little side curtains. According to Motor Authority, The Senat was developed by a consortium of Russian automakers led by the Russian Central Scientific Research Automobile and Automobile Engines Institute (NAMI), under the Project Kortezh name. The project will see several models developed for the Aurus brand, including a long-wheelbase Senat Limousine, a minivan to be called the Arsenal, and an SUV to be called the Komendant.
