As you know, they promise to present the new domestic premium car Aurus Komenadant to the public on September 29 at the Museum of the Special Purpose Garage of the Federal Security Service of Russia at VDNKh. However, the reusable news of a non-existent car is the permanent premiere of any Aurus, in this case the Commander. Unfortunately, the car immediately came out clunky, with an uneasy legend surrounding the name and features that are hard to guess, but not terribly hard to believe.
About the title. The entire Aurus family seems to be named after the Kremlin towers. But the Komendant Tower does not exist, there is the Komendantskaya. Therefore, it was necessary to remove a noun from an adjective, away from the original idea, and from historical plausibility and from successful application. It would have made more sense to immediately let go of the Kremlin associations and continue to come up with new elements of the periodic table, playing with argentum (the abbreviation in the table is Ag) and platinum (Pt). But it is not customary to admit mistakes in time, so a car with a name that has never had positive associations and has always meant painful problems in the range from the commander of the student flat to the commander of the camp stands on the point to appear in the country.
About the filling.Every “Aurus” is always four-wheel drive and certainly a hybrid. According to the mandate, it should be able to drive about 30 km on electric traction. Its power unit is always V8 and it is ours, domestic, although it is made by Porsche Engineering. About him, the chief engineer of the project, Vadim Pereverzev, said: “This engine is produced in Russia, partly from parts that we still import.”
About production. The car is produced in Tatarstan. It means Elabuga and Alabuga (in the first case a city, in the second a special economic zone), but certainly under the supervision of KamAZ. NAMI could not cope with the quality and rhythmic production, so they tried to move the production from Moscow and Likino-Dulyovo – closer to KamAZ, with S. Kogogin taking the lead. Who in panic declined this appointment and promised to appoint a supervisor. How successful the undercover plot was and the extent to which KamAZ became involved in the project becomes clear during the promised presentation, we repeat, on September 29, 2022. By the way, the place of the premiere was well chosen. VDNKh was built especially for such enterprises – showing non-existent achievements and deceiving the population.
About import substitution. Every Aurus suffers from an import dependency. The publication of localization data is considered an attempt at state secrets, so there is no exact figure in official sources. But there are two evasive and both joyless. The minimum localization is 40%, the maximum is 60%. The list of imported components is the same and irresistible in both cases: all air suspension, electronics, fuel equipment, batteries, engine capacity.
About counterfeits. Why is there so much talk about the commander when there is no car? That’s exactly why: if it’s still a layout, then there’s no difference when to start showing off. In the event that on September 29, the day of the official birth, the “Commander” is ready, stuffing is considered a promotion of the product. If not, then PR.
About bookkeeping. You cannot ask the question of costs. Official figures for the Kortezh project were no longer published after reaching the milestone of 12 billion mastered rubles. But they left the budget in the first stage, as the country prepared to admire the presidential limousine. What the shortened sedan, hearse, and minivan cost us, we’ll probably never know.
… Why do we need the “Commander” and in general the project “Aurus”? Its efficiency is explained by the task of looking decent among the autopowers and the necessary prestige of the country. It is unfit for the head of a superpower that has its own auto industry to run Mercedes, along with banana presidents and African dictators. And as it should be, every Aurus is needed, despite the opportunities and to the detriment of taxpayers, who are invited to silently pride, admire and idolize, putting Aurus on a par with the country’s original car factories. who will not run away, stay with the motherland forever.
