What is interesting is to see the features of this vehicle, which is considered a "a fortress on wheels for the president"< /em>. If this model, called Aurus, is already produced in Russia, the presidential version is a little different. "Everything has been thought of to ensure maximum security for the master of the Kremlin", explains the news channel.
Beyond its protective functions, the Aurus is also a mobile command post equipped with communications equipment. This car can also be completely airtight, so that no gas can enter the passenger compartment, explains Mark Galeotti, historian and specialist in security issues in Russia. He adds that the Aurus is completely armored, that it can withstand point-blank weapon fire.
This unique Red Line proposed by BFMTV will show all the security put in place around Vladimir Putin , namely tens of thousands of agents or even a train allowing him to travel discreetly, which makes him one of the most protected people in the world.
This car model was notably offered to the North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un, but not the presidential version. However, this Aurus Senat has some very interesting assets and technical specifications.
Electrified 4.4 V8 developing 600 horsepower, more than 6.60 meters long in extended configuration, more than 2.6 tons and looks like a Rolls-Royce Phantom.. . these are the impressive features, according to the site Turbo. But this gift could constitute a violation of the sanctions imposed on Pyongyang.
