When you say Kalashnikov...

When you say the word Kalashnikov, the image of an AK-47 springs to everybody’s mind. It gained fame thanks to its ease of use and reliability. The armoury concern, Kalashnikov, doesn’t put all of its eggs into one basket, into weapons, which have gained acclaim, but it also concentrates its efforts into producing luxury motorcycles.

Kalashnikov, new motorbike for Putin
Kalashnikov electric version UM1

The Russian president and his retinue won’t be driven merely by foreign brand cars, but by motorcycles as well.

In the past, The Kremlin has used car brands, such as Ural and BMW to escort the governing heads of Russia. The first mentioned brand fits perfectly into the concept of displaying national efforts and propagation of public ownership. However, the BMW draws attention to itself with its foreign ‘aura’, which doesn’t really fit the aforementioned concept. Therefore, it is obvious, that a more suitable escort for the government in modern style will be necessary, such as these exclusively designed Kalashnikov motorcycles.

The government will start using these specialized motorcycles to escort the president by the beginning of 2019

The luxury car Supra GR is the first and foremost a sports car with a lineage, which reaches far back into the seventies of the past century. The detroit car showroom now presents the fifth generation of this car. The head of the car manufacturer himself, Akio Toyoda himself, brought the car to the long awaited premier and highlighted its features.

Japanes, stylish, and especially, wild!

These are the fitting words used to describe the design of the luxury beamer, which is characterized by an elongated front part of the car, behind which there is a two-seat cabin for the driver and the co-driver. The unique interier contains a 8.8 inch information display. The wide front grille of the car was especially designed in such a way that it lets cold air seep through straight into the motor with turbocharger, and helps to optimize its performance. If you look skyward, you will notice the roof has “two bubbles”, slight deflections enlarging the space inside, and at the same time, lowering aerodynamic resistance. The heighted back part of the car helps to retain stability of the car during high speeds.

What is hidden under the hood? We know the details!

The luxury car is boosted by a six valve engine from the BMW enterprise, with a power of 250 kW. The sports car is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds. The standard version has 145 kW (197 horsepower), the stronger version impels the car with 190 kW (258 horsepower). All motors are in league with an eight-level automatic transmission. The maximum speed the car can achieve is 250 km/h.
