Bugatti EB110 totaled in Russia

Monday, July 20th, 2009

First the Oscary Meyer wienermobile gets smashed up and now this — It seems that during, what looks to be, a supercar rally that took place in Moscow, Russia a driver behind the wheel of a Bugatti EB110 lost control resulting in the car being completely demolished, as you can see above.

Sure, it’s not a Veyron but the Bugatti EB110 is a classic peice of machinery with it’s quad-turbocharged 3.5-liter V12 engine capable of 543HP. Couple that with the car’s AWD and you have a top speed of 214MPH and a 0-62MPH sprint of just 3.4 seconds.

View of the destruction included after the break.

Opel Headed to Russia

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009

Opel is on the block and while there are a lot of potential companies vying for ownership of the German-based can manufacturer, it seems likely that the winner will be one of its allies in GAZ of Russia. Considered to be one of the cheapest yet reliable brands in the car industry, Opel is a car brand name known globally.

However, Opel is also having its share of problems and apparently, the need for new management and owners seems to be feasible option if Opel is to stay in the market.

The Opel dealership in Moscow sells family cars as well as sport and luxury autos – from the newest top-of-the-range Insignia, to the small and sporty Corsa hatchback.
