The Aurus Senat is an executive car specifically designed by Russian engineers for top state officials, including the president.
Russia’s Aurus Senat luxury car, which is used by President Vladimir Putin, has been restyled by the Special Purpose Garage (GON) after taking suggestions from the presidential drivers, said the general director of Central Scientific Research Automobile and Automotive Engines Institute (NAMI) Fedor Nazarov.
The restyled version of the car will be presented on May 7, the day of Putin’s inauguration.
“We are working very closely with GON… We are working both with the garage managers and directly with the drivers. All these cars were accepted by the drivers who transport our first person,” Nazarov said in an interview with Russian media.
He noted that the GON is the main customer at the vehicle design stage.
Aurus Senat is a top-tier executive car developed in Russia for the president and prime minister. The name of the model comes from the Senate’s tower of the Moscow Kremlin. While being packed with top-notch technology, the car itself is designed in a retro style featuring Soviet-era detail.
