In the eyes of Europeans, the situation in Crimea has significantly weakened Russia and its President Vladimir Putin , but it has not stopped business. Evidence? German Porsche will take part in the production of the presidential limousine under the code name Project Cortege .
The first designs of the presidential limousine came from Marussia, later the project moved to ZiLu, but neither company could satisfy Vladimir Vladimirovič so that its design went into production. That's why there is Project Cortege , which is expected to cost Russia 150-400 million dollars and will see the roads for the first time in 2017.
In addition to the limousine, the plan is to produce a whole family of cars that will suit not only domestic politicians, but also ordinary customers. In the future, the offer should also include a minivan or an SUV . And what to say about the first proposals that appeared on the Internet? Perhaps it's just that it corresponds to the style of older ZiLs, Volga or Seagulls. Black color, a huge amount of chrome and the finest materials inside.
What role will Porsche through its subsidiary Porsche Engineering play in the entire project? Allegedly, he is to participate in the development of the platform not only for the limousine, but also for other models of the luxury family.
