Marussia B2 (2012)

CAR GARAGE | Marussia B2 (2012) | Using the same exceptionally light and strong chassis structure combined with Marussia-Cosworth power units, the B2 allows our designers and our customers to explore Their wilder side.

Cleverly styled to mimic the 'M' of the Marussia logo, the B2 has an incredibly powerful face. Black satin paintwork emphasizes the hungry intakes and geometric elements to the grille and headlamp apertures, while Deeply recessed intakes ahead of the rear wheels add to the B2 insectile appearance.

Just as the B1 and B2 share a chassis and powertrain designs, so the same utilise They also adjustable suspension (developed in partnership with German brand KW), hugely powerful brakes, ultra-light alloy wheels and high-performance tires.

Sport Car Pictures: Introducing Marussia - Cool Car from Russia !

As cool sports cars go, the Marussia is up there with the coolest. Designed and developed in Russia by Marussia Motors, the first Russian manufacturer of the premium class vehicles. According to the data in November 2010, there are two versions of the Marussia cars; Marussia B1 and Marussia B2.

The Marussia is slated to use a 240-hp, 3.5-liter six-cylinder engine, most likely from Renault or Nissan, but it's unclear where the electric drive components will originate from. While much of the car's parts are expected to be sourced from established companies, approximately 35% of the content will be Russian.

Adding a bit of sizzle to its speed, the Marussia will also have "a host of gadgets," including a 4G Yota network with 10 Mbps data transfer rates at vehicle speeds of up to 120 km/h. Bluetooth, GPS and video screens all around, plus a 320 GB hard drive to round out the electronics.

The goal for the electric supercar is a 400km range, but Russian winters mean the batteries will need a boost. That's where nanotechnology comes in. Fomenko thinks the solution might be in a "nanotech project made at one of Russia's big construction bureaus."

The company foresees a 0-62 mph dash of around five seconds and a Tesla-like price tag of $100,000. Plans call for the first customer cars to be delivered next Fall, with race versions taking part in the 2010 edition of FIA GT championship.
