Marussia automobile is already availiable with the two body designes and there are going to be more in the prospective. In April 2010 crossover-class (SUV) will be introduced to the public. For an ordinary person the diversity of Marussia means one thing — there exist incredible opportunities for choosing and use of the car.From this point a driver may not just choose one from the variety of most-liked bodies but also to switch it to other. No other producer can offer such an option of the «emotional» change of your car’s image.

«Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black. «— said Henry Ford in the nineteenth century. «Any customer can have any car that he wants so long as it is Marussia. «That is this century’s rule!

The uniqueness of Marussia automobile is not just the outside but also the inside diversification. The new model just like Marussia B1 has a brightly expressed character and the habits of the true sport car. During the creation of the automobile the sport experience of Nikolay Fomenko has been used, he is a famous Russian racer, мастер спорта международного класса, prize-winner of the World Championship in N-GT class. Marussia — is a two-seat GT-class coupe, created considering all the canons of the sport motor-car construction. The automobile’s heart is a unique engine V6, the result of the cooperation of ingeneers of Cosworth and Marussia Motors companies, it has a volume of 3.6 liters.It’s capacity can be chosen by any driver considering the intellectual control unit. The maximum power of Marussia is 420 h. p. Somebody may consider this amount not large enough, but reevaluating this number on the automobile’s mass — which is only 1100 kilos — it seems huge. Even more impressive seem characteristics of a super light version of the automobile, in the body of which only aluminium and Kevlar are used. The weigh of such car is 850 kilos. The result of using such light materials becomes obvious on the track. The Marussia B2 automobile is not a fast, but a very fast device: it is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h for 3.2 seconds. The new model Marussia B2 became a logical stage of the same called project for a creation of the first Russian sport car. The presentation of the project Marussia took place in December 16 2008 in the «Noviy Manezh» in Moscow. That day the first version of B1 was introduced to the public. In September 2009 in «Novinskiy Passazh» of Moscow was opened Marussia’s show room.

Automobile project Marussia — is not just an incarnated idea of Russian technological break-through. Also it is not a patriot’s dream of «Russians who are coming», or more accurate, racing.It is a complete innovation and a realisation of the modern Russian car’s production plan. «By this day Russian car enthusiasts who dreamed of high speeds and powerful automobiles, had to buy German and Italian automobiles. Now Porsche and Ferrari have a worthy alternative — Marussia from Moscow». This is a reaction of the authoritive German magazine Bild from the appearance of the automobile in Frankfurt, they called Marussia a «Russian rocket».It is important to mention that more than 85%

of all of the design, ingeneering and technological solutions were achieved by «Marussia Motors» company and it’s design office by themselves. The basic price of Marussia is 100000 euro.By today there are 17 prepaid orders on the automobile.
