The Aurus Senat (Russian: Aypyc Сенат) is a luxury full-size car by Russian automaker Aurus Motors and developed by NAMI in Moscow, Russia.[4] It is the presidential state car of Russia under Vladimir Putin.[5][6] The Aurus Senat was retro-styled after the ZIS-110, a Soviet limousine introduced in 1945.[7][8]

History

[edit | edit source]

The first known use of the Senat was during Russian president Vladimir Putin's 2018 presidential inauguration.[9] The Senat was shown publicly at the Moscow International Automobile Salon in September 2018. Cars of the Kortezh series (also known in Russian: Единая модульная платформа, ЕМП, lit. 'Unified Modular Platform')[10][11] were expected to be available for export to the Middle East and China in late 2018.[12] A civilian version of the Senat is manufactured by a joint venture between the NAMI and LiAZ firms.[12] Expected retail prices were increased in 2018 to 10 million rubles ($US160,000), but in 2021, still before the first deliveries, became higher than 20 million rubles (~$US300,000).[13] The Aurus Senat is part of the Kortezh series, which will eventually include a van and an SUV.[14]

On February 20, 2024, it was reported that Kim Jong Un received a Senat as a gift from President Vladimir Putin, which South Korea says is against UN sanctions on providing certain vehicles including luxury cars.[15] In mid March 2024, North Korean television released footage appearing to show Kim Jong Un using the car to attend a military event.[16] On June 19, 2024, Putin gave Kim another Senat as a gift.[17] The president and National Leader of Turkmenistan, Serdar and Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow are also notable owners of Aurus luxury vehicles.

Design

[edit | edit source]

Development of the Senat began in 2013[18] with production, in civilian S600 or official L700 versions, beginning in 2021 at the Sollers JSC factory in Yelabuga.[19][20][21] Porsche and Bosch helped develop the engine.[22]

Versions

[edit | edit source]

The armoured limousine version is powered by a 4.4-litre V8 engine developed by NAMI, with a 6.6-litre V12 (634 kW [850 hp; 862 PS]) becoming available at a later date.[4]

The vehicle got a facelift in 2024.[23]
