The Marussia GT sports prototype was produced in a single unit in 2010. But then the car never got on the track. Everything changed when the project decided to revive the Moscow Poly. And on July 24, the car started in the endurance race revived in Russia. The AvtoVzglyad portal tells about the car and its difficult fate.
Racing Marussia GT was designed by Igor Ermilin. Initially, the car was supposed to compete in the FIA GT European Championship, but plans have changed. In 2010, Marussia Motors acquired the Virgin Racing Formula 1 team and focused on participating in the “royal” races. It has not happened, except for the many scandals associated with the project..
It seemed that the idea had died out, but the Moscow Polytechnic resumed its revival. Interestingly, in a few years they created all the conditions to work on the aerodynamics of fireballs, as well as to “bake” carbon parts.
Judging by the appearance of the car, they did not radically change the appearance and limited themselves to only minor changes. As for the power unit, it is located at the rear of the Marussia GT. This is an engine from Audi: a V-shaped “eight” with a capacity of 420 liters. Of.
On Sunday, the revived Marussia GT took part in the endurance race for the first time. In itself, this event, even without a stage, is a great success. The car attracts attention and certainly has perspectives. The development of Marusya goes along with the Fenix project, about which the AvtoVzglyad portal has already written.
The projects are also supported by private investors interested in the development of Russian motorsport. Igor Ermilin hopes there will be even more. According to him, the sanctions gave an impulse to the opening of interesting projects in Russia.
And money that used to go abroad can now be used for domestic investments. For example in motorsport. The idea of growing staff using motorsport for this is a great idea. Here you can learn, grow and develop quickly. And get used to working in a team. After all, this is a small team in which every person is clearly visible. Such skills will help young engineers in real life as they have many tasks. For example, the revival of the Moskvich plant.
