From Russia with love

A series of photos of a Russian Ferrari type car....

Russo-Baltique Impression

Damn, Pravda has a "Catastrophes of the week" photo section. :eek:

The car is $1.8million....uh...no thanks.
I do like the other one on that link, the Pobeda.

That's kind of Rolls Royce -ish huh?

Notice they had to go to Mercedes Benz to get an engine for it. Also, it looks an awful lot like a Bugatti 57 Atlantic.

The Bugatti:


The Russian car with a German engine:

I was expecting something different here...






Hard to be disappointed with that Atlantic, though! Is that Ralph Lauren's?

Which also looks like the ship from Flesh Gordon (unpainted model shown here)

I've always really liked the Bugatti. Does that mean I'm gay, but don't realize it?

What's with the hubcaps, do they whistle as they turn?

And where do you attach the license plate?

Do mean the price or the Pobeda? $1.8 million is Rolls Royce-ish but I think the Pobeda is more American-ish.

Except for the garish wheels, it looks like an old (40s/50s) Caddy, that's been customized, with that big chrome front end. :heart-on:

I used to drive a Citroen and it was very cool. Deep comfortable seats, and you could raise the car so it had more ground clearance. It was expensive to repair though.

that Pobeda looks SWEEET !!!!!

Different paint and wheels , but hey every body has their own tastes

From the back it has a 40's look, from the front a 60's look.

Yep, those wheels gotta go but the rest of the ride is amusing.

I like the wheels...they're great big, shiny pentagrams.

Aw, you're just star struck. :lol:
