MARUSSIA – Russian for sports car

A cool looking sports car from Moscow wasn’t something I expected to see at the recent Frankfurt Motor Show.
Its not that the Russians don’t build cars, they do: Lada, Moskavitz, UAZ and Gaz are all Russian marques, but they just don’t build sports cars, until now.

MARRUSIA is a mid-engine sports car powered by a 3.5-litre V6, which produces 182 kW (245 bhp) and 330 Nm of torque at 3600 rpm.
Thankfully, it will be rear wheel drive with a 5-speed automatic transmission.
It’s very light at 1100 kilograms, so I I’m not surprised at the performance claims of 250km/h and 0-100km/h, in 5 seconds flat.
The fuel tank will hold 80 litres and is listed as FIA homologated and recommends “super” as the preferred fuel type.
Wheels are 20-inch alloys with a central nut fit, and are shod with 245/35 up front and 285/35 at the rear.
