Meet Aurus, the luxury Russian car designed and produced within a record timeframe, especially for President Putin. In only five years, the state-of-the-art presidential vehicle was created from scratch and made the first public appearance at Vladimir Putin’s inauguration in May 2018. In 2012, the Russian leader initiated the Aurus project. It was turned into reality by the renowned NAMI Institute, which developed the first Soviet automobile. The goal was to create a car with features that would satisfy the unique requirements of the presidential motorcade. «It’s how it’s always been in Russia. If we want something, we’ll get it!» says Denis Dryagin, deputy CEO for marketing and commerce at NAMI.
