The Aurus in trouble

At the recent Geneva Motor Show, we had a thorough tour and a seat test in the civilian versions of the service car of Vladimir Putin's Russian President. Our richly illustrated article reveals that the Aurus Senat, which is crumpled by protruding screw holes, not very good welds and other quality problems, is not yet available at Mercedes-Maybach or Rolls-Royce.

I would also like to conquer the European market with a hybrid Russian luxury car with a base price of HUF 40 million and a 5.63 or 6.62 meter version. However, this does not seem to be too simple in the present form, as the European Union Intellectual Property Office has reported that three major global automotive brands have torpedoed the European registration of the Aurus brand.

These companies are specifically Toyota, Lamborghini and Michelin. The Japanese Toyota is the Auris passenger car, the VW Lamborghini for the VW group, and the Urus sports car for France, and the French Michelin for the Taurus tires.

The history of Taurus began with the founding of the Ruggyanta Workshop in Budapest in 1882, and the Tauril Pneumatic Automobile Factory was established in 1912, and the Taurus brand was debut in 1913. In 1996, Taurus became the property of Michelin, and the French company re-launched the Taurus brand in 2013.

The question arises that if Auris, Urus and Taurus are so good at each other so far, what's the problem with Aurus, the fourth, coming out? The answer to this is that while the former three brand names are a very serious global mammoth company, Aurus is a car manufacturer without any history.

The development of Aurus Senat began in 2013, and the Russian state spent 12,9 billion rubles over five years, or 55 billion forints.
