About the Aurus Senat
The Aurus Senat is the flagship of the Kortezh project, developed by NAMI to serve as the official state car for the Russian President. While its exterior styling draws heavy inspiration from the Rolls-Royce Phantom, its mechanical heart is a 4.4-litre V8 hybrid powertrain developed in collaboration with Porsche Engineering. The civilian S600 variant offers a high-luxury interior with Nappa leather and open-pore wood, though it lacks the heavy armouring of the L700 limousine. Despite ambitious production targets, the car remains a rare sight, with low volume and high costs limiting its reach primarily to government officials and oligarchs.
