Not Your Dad's Russian Car

A new concept car has emerged from Russia, possiby signaling a new generation of extreme high end luxury cars aimed at the market of very wealthy Russian millionaires and billionaires. The Impression uses many Mercedes CL63AMG parts, however is still a Russian concept design.

Interesting, the new Russian car will cost around 1.3 million Euros, which is a major chunk of change. And the car could be produced at the rate of two or three per year in Germany by the Russian creators.

Compared to the old image of stodgy old boxy Russian cars, the new Impression design is major league cool. It incorporates many of the great styling cues lifted from 1930's era European luxury cars, which isn't a bad way to look for a luxury car. Well, the car certainly made an Impression on me.
