MARUSSIA sports car was engineered on the basis of a new special chassis, created by Russian engineers. It is a fast sports car with wonderful aerodynamic characteristics, which will be certified for city driving.

The main requirement for the production is the use of the high-tech materials and components. Ideologists of the project Nikolay Fomenko and Yefim Ostrovsky believe that innovations and reliability are the key factors of the production under MARUSSIA trademark. Among the main car characteristics one can see a unique design of the vehicle exterior, which can be chosen in person; high operating performance; comfortable city driving.


Uniqueness of the concept is that of several completely different in design and color vehicle bodies can fit sole chassis. Together with the outside appearance, the interior design may be changed also to match colour and shape of the body. Finally, in spite of all changes the character and driving facilities of the car will remain unchanged. So, off-the-shelf product becomes an exclusive car, which has no analogues in the world. The competition between young Russian designers took place to find out the best version of an outside appearance of the first sport car. Functionality and multimedia options of the car boggle the imagination even of the most exacting users. The up-to-date technologies such as audio, video, Bluetooth, 4G Yota Internet access and VoIP are provided for the driver and the passengers of MARUSSIA.


The first automobile Marussia is equipped with a 3.5 litre petrol engine providing 240bhp. A racing version of the car, which is being developed now, would be engineered with respect to contemporary auto racing technologies. At present MARUSSIA is a mid-engined vehicle, but the working on a front- and rear-engined versions of chassis has been already started. Along with several kinds of outside appearance, the expansion of the production range and creation of vehicles of other classes is planned: in particular, more popular among customers, five seat four-wheel drive SUV.

Anyone seen the new Porsche hybrid unveiled at Geneva this week? Damned thing supposedly goes from zero to 60 miles per hour in 3.2 seconds, and gets 78 mpg!

too you guys and cut me in for a measly 10%.

Everytime I see one of these style cars I want one but only if I had the kind of money that I could let is sit for two or three months straight.. until I could afford some track time.

Because, everyone of these mother fukking cars can make claim to thier speeds and such is because they have 5/8 inch ground clearance...and that means it probably will have to be lifted by a crane to make it out the water barrier lip and your garage driveway concrete lip don't get me started on the curb at the end of your driveway... public roads and a 3 inch chuck hole at 65mph 25K damage for running down to get a six of Milly Best and some Camels...

So here is the 10% idea build a car like this styled like this that somehow has 8 inches of ground clearance so it can be come a day driver.

You will make millions. It could be some high strength fabric on some spring actuated frames..? that runs along the bottom of the ride all the way around yet yields and flexes to sudden shock and such...yet maintains the look and aerodynamics.....

Along with this can be enough travel within the ratios of the frame and drivetrain movements within the strict configuration all hidden as to create the aerodynamics, and illusion of formula LeMans styling...

They might sell a lot of them in October. All the rich kids will want one for Halloween.
