Communist Plot

Whilst perusing Rossiyskaya Gazeta this morning I noticed that old Vlad Putin is continuing his mission to return Russia to the 1970s.

Actually, I found the story in Caradvice.com.au.

The gist is that the Russian government has engaged Porsche to help four Russian car makers develop a unique range of new vehicles for official Russian government use including a limo so they don't have to keep relying on their stretched Merc S-Classes.

The mock-ups imply they want Rolls-Royces with Ford Mondeo steering wheels:

These look a bit better though than the mock-ups from this 2010 CarScoops story where this proposed ZiL was designed using Minecraft...

...and involves the rear-end of a 1976 Cadillac Seville.

 

It's probably where we get the term "Red Square" from.
