As rightly pointed out in the article, its a Rolls Royce ripoff. This is the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the photograph.

Quote:
However, the fourth-time elected president was unhappy with riding in a high-security German vehicle for his official work and hence ordered to manufacture a state-built vehicle as his official carriage.

In comes the program called ‘Kortezh,’ and its first vehicle that the Russian president used for the first time as his official carrier for the inauguration ceremony in Kremlin. The black limousine was used by Putin for a short distance and details of the vehicle is scarce at this moment.

Putin is a proud Bear. His Presidential Jet is Illyushin Il-96 (and not a Boeing or an Airbus) despite not-so-great crash record of Russian-made Airliners.

Has the grill of a Royce and eyes of a Chrysler 300. Russian ingenuity, you just can't beat it.
