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?

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 Ԛ£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...
