Anyone know much about Russian Cars?
Apart form Lada, Skods etc which all came under that umbrella 
Found a pic of Putin and Bush getting into his car for a drive over the VE celebrations:
Which i though fook me they are about 50 years behind in car development! lol Been after a bit of research i seen that although it was stated new car it was a new build of a classic model. Anyway after doing some research on the Volga cars i found this little gem
How cool and retro does that look? V12 too
Anybody ever heard or seen one of these cars before?

i'm thinking its a BMW 850 that a tuning company have put a custom made/designed shell on. and i think the shell is based on a 5 door thingy thats in some of the pictures with it and its had a roof chop.
all guess work but its how i think it'd have been done. if the Russians made a car that looks so good i'm sure we'd have snapped them up in the millions and made someone very rich.
design wise, i'd rate it well up there with the likes of the 300SL gullwing Merc's, E-types, James Bond's Aston (always forget the name - DB? - 5?)etc.
as more people need to see this car
