Gifting are viewed as a wonderful way to express friendship. Russian President Vladimir Putin has done just that. For the first time in 24 years, Russian President Vladimir is on a tour to North Korea. He arrived early Wednesday, where North Korea's supreme leader Kim Jong Un welcomed him grandly. On this occasion, both eminent leaders also exchanged valuable gifts, with Vladimir Putin's gift being widely discussed.
According to global media reports, Vladimir Putin has gifted Kim Jong Un an Aurus Senat luxury car. Putin not only presented the luxury vehicle but also took Kim Jong Un for a drive in it. During this time, Putin personally drove the car while Kim Jong Un sat beside him in the co-driving seat. This luxury ride of top leaders has gone viral on social media.
What's special about this luxury car?
Aurus Senat is also the official state car of the Russian president. It is manufactured by Russia's leading carmaker, Aurus Motors, in collaboration with the Central Scientific Research Automobile and Automotive Engines Institute, also known as NAMI. Now, Putin has given such a car as a gift to Kim Jong Un.
This full-size luxury limousine is often referred to as Russia's Rolls Royce. In fact, its front look, particularly the grille design, closely resembles the Rolls-Royce vehicles. It is noteworthy that in February, Putin also gifted Kim Jong Un an Aurus limousine, meaning Kim now has two such cars.
Power and Performance:
The car employs a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine capable of generating 590bhp power. To put it in simpler terms, the engine's power output is about twice that of the Toyota Fortuner sold in the Indian market. Some media reports suggest that German car company Porsche also aided in developing this car.
Features Expected:
For security reasons, specifics about this luxury car's features and specifications have not been made public. However, it is believed that, like other state official cars, this one is also armored to withstand gunfire and blasts. Reports indicate that the car includes an advanced driving assistance system (ADAS), emergency braking system, emergency call support, a back LED lighting with 8 modes, wireless phone charger, and more.
