Marussia slowly steers

Russian car industry authorities included the respirator for a long time. But the ungrateful patient requires more oxygen, not wanting to go out of his coma. More of its products for doubtful life wishes quite absurd amounts long pass for The Edge of Reason. Oxygen is worth the money, so by order the entire population of Russia is involved in the ruble prolonged resuscitation. Against this background, any Russian car design is often perceived with hostility, though not always true. We have already talked about the team Nikolai Fomenko and Yefim Ostrowski, creators of the domestic sports car with a good Russian name Marussia. Perhaps the sponsors in the future there are plans to enter the international market. About this partly evidenced by the name of the car Marusia "which is written in Latin. In English it sounds like "Marash", which is consonant with My Russia («My Russia"). We managed to visit the Plant. Likhachev, whose territory and produced a new supercar. Secrets of the production shows were not, but by the car managed to get to know more detail, what has helped us, the chief designer "Marousi Igor Ermilin. Many do not believe in global conspiracy theory, although some reason it certainly is. Economy complicated thing, then tied a lot of people: janitors, and the mighty of this world. Here are the latest, and just do not want another redistribution of property and loss of market power. Imagine what would happen if suddenly invent an engine that does not need gasoline? How are you feel the oil tycoons? And if suddenly the production car will be very cheap, and he will improve his quality of consumer several times? Influenced by the global financial crisis, automakers and so feel very bad, but if someone has launched a cheap supercar is close to them and to death. Before the show features a car with a small opening speech Nikolai Fomenko: - I must say that the car you see now is a pre-certification model. Until mid-April 2009 he will be allowed to operate on the road. May 23, 2009 we will have a public announcement, we show the first 15 customers and 15 vehicles. And, perhaps even three kinds of bodies. Two kinds of bodies in the dimension of our small series production, we just have time. Likely to be the third. Organization of production, which will allow us to produce 1200 cars a year, will begin from June 1, 2009. On it we can produce three types of cars, and since 2010 - four types. Once again I want to remind you that this kind of car - a preliminary to certification. Over the coming month will see the whole flow sheet vehicle - the document that allows large and small scale production automaker to make its products at the highest level. Now we just have demonstrated the possibility, but after five months show the reality. After a short opening statement and before the demonstration of Marussia Nikolai Fomenko answered questions "Avto.ru. Judge for yourself. A few years ago in one of the television aired the domestic inventor who "squeezed" out of his entire VAZ 2110 240 hp But that's not all. Fuel consumption has been declared in 4.5 liters per 100 kilometers. Drove a car with 190-horsepower Honda Accord, the inventor of journalists for a long time shaking hands and congratulating the success. That's it! More about this remarkable engine no one remembered. There are more interesting topics: winter wiper blades, testing of Chinese fire extinguishers and tips for beginners to motorists. I'm sure many of you reading on the issue once the model of a famous producer, saw about the following phrase: "The new (here, can put any manufacturer), the torsional rigidity has increased by 30%, and now you can enjoy excellent handling, best-in- class ... "Etc., etc. Why increase the torsional rigidity? Of course sopromata, which take place on 3 rd and 4 th year university, and is known as the most rigid structure - this farm. Why do manufacturers of cranes do the last of the steel sheet? Why can not their zinc (not rusted), not primed, not painted? Why not take pride in the fact that all work performed by a robot, and the number of welding points per meter than 1000? Quite reasonable to make the car frame from the farm, "overhang above kopek, compared with today, the plastic body. And there is nothing to rust, and in the event of an accident can be replaced by one of the modules, check out the rest only on the geometry. The cost of repairs will be commensurate with the current. Yes, and honestly, who can be sure that after a serious accident where the body affected by the power components, high quality car back? "Maroussia" constructive approaches perfection. The power base - the farm with crushed zones, the body - plastic. Where did the engine and automatic transmission, we also popularly explained. At one time, Renault released a very large car, uncharacteristic for concern. And with the design turned out, to put it mildly, not very, Logan compared to him - just beautiful. This is the Renault Vel Satis. Initially, the French were counting on huge success of his huge hatch, but hopes were realized. I do not understand how one could so mutilate technically interesting car, but let it be on the conscience of designers. Due to lack of sales of motor and gearbox from the Vel Satis was nowhere to put the company, and here and arrived an offer you can not refuse. Motor VQ35DE already took all the prizes in the engine, which only can be expected. Modifying it stood on the Nissan Murano, and the Nissan Z350, and on various models of Infiniti. The only difference in the catalysts, the mechanism of variable valve timing and, ultimately, the "horses". Motor - Japanese manufacturing concern Nissan. And as the European Nissan with Renault - an "office", then the appearance on the VQ35DE Vel Satis not be called unexpected. Box - from the same place. Import - shock absorbers and brake calipers. In general, stuffing worthy. Weight distribution "Marousi - in the style of Porsche, 38/62. Igor Ermilin highlighted the future platform of a sedan and a crossover. The motor will move forward, but will remain within the wheelbase. Immediately comes to mind «Front Mid Ship» by Infiniti. About the crossover platform was told to pull kardan through the whole body, most likely, will not, but a moment ago will be transferred to the motor. The plans - translate cars completely on electric traction. True, it will not concern itself "Marousi» Gran Turismo. Over the price - Broken uncertainty, but the new technology of Maroussi "let's hope that, in comparison with competitors amount will be significantly lower. On this occasion there was only a hint, but anyway - happy.
