    So, is it a lie?

    Looks like a Bugatti Veyron knock-off... but still very attractive.

    The article mentions that they are working on two sport off road vehicles. Could this be one of them? VT Maverick is right, they "borrowed" heavily from the Veyron to design the sports car. Maybe they will be influenced by a certain PUV that is popular with Russian off-roaders.

    A man can dream, can't he...

    I like the fact that

    the instrument panel and all the words I could read off computer screens and products were in English. It might make it harder for Russians to drive though

    Visually more stimulating than the Veyron.

    Wonder if it's the wobbly rattletrap like the previous one that tried to come out of Mother Russia. Tried looking for it all over the web but could not find it. I think they had it on Top Gear some seasons back as well and just completely hammered it. Sad really. Good looks.... shoddy craftsmanship. Hope the Marussia is better.

    Looking up the specs on the car.... I will pass. My $32k STi with $5k of tuning and bolt-ons surpasses what that car puts out. Might be a decent buy if it were under $50k.... you know that ain't gonna happen.

    Also, the SUV goes by Marussia F2 I believe.
