Colour me surprised, it's like a better looking Chinese copy of the Phantom. A quad turbo V12 is also impressive.

Ah yeah, the Cortege. It's a shame they didn't come up with a bit more original design for the sedan... That said, I'll be impressed if they can actually make this work (before Putin dies of old age, that is).

A minivan version is also planned. It certainly would not look out of place in a cortege.
