At the MIAS-2018 there was a premiere of the sedan Aurus Senate

At the Moscow Auto Show it was a presentation of the representative car Aurus Senate ("Senate" - the name was formed on behalf of one of the Kremlin towers). This is the second car from the model series "Cortege", the rest of the work is still going on, reportsed the correspondent of "AUTOSTAT" from the scene.

In the presentation of the Senate, the Minister of Industry and Trade, Denis Manturov, and the CEO of Aurus Franz Gerhard Hilgert (a member of the Board of Directors of Sollers, a few years ago he headed the Daimler office in Russia) took part in the presentation of the Senate.

The interest to the project is caused by the fact that the cars of the Aurus model line are intended for the first persons of the state and their escorts, and also because they are decided to make them available for a wider range. It is assumed that the brand "Aurus" will be positioned as "a new word in the world of technology and luxury from Russia."

In the decoration of cars it is used high-quality finishing materials - the best genuine leather of Russian origin, valuable wood. Metal and glass multimedia devices do not allow you to doubt that it is a modern car equipped with the latest technology.

Armored and unarmored versions are available. The car uses a comprehensive driver assistance system for driving the ADAS, an intuitive interface, LED-backlit with 8 modes of lighting and much more.

At the moment it is known that not more than 300 such cars are planned to be produced annually. As Denis Manturov explained earlier, when the demand on the domestic car market would be closed, then it would be possible to talk about exports.

Recall, Aurus cars were developed by the NAMI project institute in the framework of the "Cortege" project, which implied the creation of a single modular platform. All cars are equipped with a V-shaped "eight" engine with a volume of 4.4 liters and a capacity of 598 HP (880 Hm torque) in combination with a nine-speed "automatic", an electric engine and a four-wheel drive.
