December 16, 2008 Nikolai Fomenko and Yefim Ostrowski presented a new car, different in design from the existing, all the usual standards. And most importantly, the team Fomenko attempt to make a breakthrough in production technology, greatly simplifying the latter. And it's not all. The owner of this car will be able to change its appearance, paying only for not too expensive plastic body, leaving the technical stuffing intact. By his own words of Nicholas impossible to catch up with the global auto industry, you can only get around it on the turn. So who, if not Fomenko, be aware of methods of overtaking rivals on the turn? Hopefully, this time reception work. The idea is simple and, at first glance, very viable. It is strange that this never occurred to anyone before. Catch up with global manufacturer, playing by its rules, alas, is impossible. Besides, in Russia the production out of favor, and it is clear why - too risky. It is one thing - to open a trade and intermediary firms, quite another - to build the plant. In the first case of an adverse outcome "find yourself" on the cost of office equipment, the second rate is much higher, but profit still have to wait. Not for nothing WHA forever overgrown by some incomprehensible child firmochki, controlled outright criminality, enjoyed extraordinary success with the "business", like the venerable Berezovsky. The amounts invested in production are enormous, and in this situation saying, "And where do you get away from the submarine?" Gets a huge relevance. Marussia - a rear-engined two-seater sports coupe with a very serious performance. Weight - 950 kg, engine power - 240 hp. with., to disperse hundreds - 4,7 sec. The construction of the car by "block" method. Of steel pipes and profiles welded monocoque, are also going to the engine compartment and the front part of the body, bearing the engine, brakes, steering and suspension of the original design. Nodes are attached between a conventional bolts - inexpensive and radical solution. Plastic body, whose weight is extremely low, is set to force the frame to last. Doors - guillotine, cockpit - obviously the racing direction, the seat - with a pronounced lateral support. Suspension of the same race orientation, design is very unusual for a civilian vehicle. V6 engine from Renault, with 240 hp. with., heavy-duty is not, but, remembering the weight of "Marousi, dynamic performance is no longer unrealistic. It seems that in this case went the same way that Lotus - pinpoint handling, ideal weight distribution, low weight and no supermotorov. Separately, Nicholas highlighted aspect of passive safety. Additionally, the established power body shell - a standard requirement of motor racing, without which the participants are not allowed to race, there is already enshrined in the device frame. Indeed, the forging of such rigidity is not achieved, and this is what sets "Marusyu" among competitors. In general, the problems of safety in the car paid much attention. On the production models will all be available on the date of passive and active safety - airbags, crushed zone, heavy-duty driver's compartment, ESP, and everything else. Separately discuss the electrics. "Block" method to be used here, which will increase the survivability of the machine in a tight operation. It is no secret that most of the failures so far accounted for just car electronics, so electric bus will be divided by purpose. One will provide a direct performance cars, the other will be used to connect additional devices - music, video cameras, etc. By the way, about the cameras. Camera in a circle, as well as hard drive capacity 260 GB, established already in the database. When moving video data is recorded continuously, and in case of accident would be to prove their case, using the footage. Externally Marussia Well, the truth, it seemed that the front spoiler a few smallish, but the developers have assured that the standard "speed bump" the car will pass without any losses. I do not know who is involved in design, but the car turned out. Wow, even without the cost Pininfarina, is also in our own homeland masters of their craft. Production Marussia with a similar design will be highly complex. Cook the frame of metal profiles, to gather into a whole separate blocks and hang plastic is much easier than cooking the body and arrange a full assembly line production, and nahalturit in this situation is somewhat more complicated. At the moment the team Fomenko, shot in the lease two manufacturing plant building it. Likhachev. That's enough, nobody is going to do a car from a piece of metal, as was customary in the years of stagnation. Separately asked about completing. Whose? The answer was obvious. Nicholas said: "I do not want the man was killed in a car, made under my brand, so the parts are from well-known foreign manufacturers." A similar phrase I've heard from Oleg Gamow, a representative of the GAZ Group: "The market for high-quality automotive components in Russia and so was very undeveloped, and the current financial crisis it is simply destroyed." That is, until the assembly will be from imported material, although I do not exclude that the same Fomenko again come up with a cunning move, but in this area. Car class Gran Turismo - not the whole project. May soon appear and all-wheel drive crossover platform sedan. It is not excluded that expand and scale of the proposed engine. Assembling Marussia will be under the order. Accordingly, the price will vary depending on the number of orders. And, of course, but so far such thoughts are premature, we would like to learn about maintenance. As will be much cost? It is too early to speculate, created just a prototype. I want to wish good luck from the heart project, because if it comes true, can we talk about a radically new, high-quality domestic product.
