Ahh, just used free translation. Uses the engine from a bmw 850.

Damn, that car looks pimp! BMW V12 powered too - drool! Amusing to see the side-by-side comparison against the old Volga (looks like they share the same rear lights and bootlid emblem...) Wonder how much they retail at?

Oh yeah, now that is cool!!!!!!!!!

Unless that's just an ebay m badge - that'll be the 380bhp 5.6 V12 from the 850CSi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seen this before, as above its a 850CSI poured into a chopped Volga shell. IIRC it was made by a company called "A:Level" They only do 1 offs, and this was Ãƒ”šÃ‚£250K or so. They also did a Mercedes S Class in the past called "Big"

Theres a big market in Russia for these sorts of things though. This is another concept based on a Mercedes S Class with a cheapo 1950s remodeled body on top.

Talking of gangster's doesn't president Putin own one, i'm sure there is a story somewhere about him letting Bush drive it and him nearly crashing...

Look they have even done it with a new 6..

Pretty sure blue prints for the Bmw M10 engine were stolen and a Russian car company built an outwardly similar engine...
