Even if you do not like any of Cardi's proposals, you have to admit that the crew working at the Russian design and tuning firm have more imagination than a hundred Hollywood producers combined. Aptly named 'Volga Cayenne', the car is essentially a replica of the 1960's Volga GAZ-21 based on a modified Porsche Cayenne chassis. Bypassing the Stalin graphics and the red-star alloy wheels on the outside, the 5.1 meter long (roughly the same size as a Mercedes-S-Class) "Volga Cayenne" uses the same 450HP 4.5-liter turbocharged V8 engine as the pre-facelift Cayenne Turbo. Power is channeled to all four wheels through a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Volga Cayenne Replica Cardi If we are to believe Cardi, the Stalinmobile 'Volgarized' Cayenne can accelerate from standstill to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).

    If only I had a bijillion rubles ... can they do this to a US-spec Cayenne or whatever?

    Those Stalin graphics and wheels are akin to garnishing an exquisitely made creme brulee with a glob of lard.

    Ahh, yeah, whatever.

    It's one way to ruin a perfectly good Cayenne.

    Driving the Cayenne off a cliff would have produced better results.

    Nice crack about Obama; when you, G.W and Jesus get out of the circle jerk you're all in, read up on the auto industry.

    State made cars; the way you Yanks ruined your financing base, you'll be lucky if Krispy Creme isn't state owned in 2-5 years. Lol, WWJD? Declare bankruptcy, get a meth addiction and go out in a blaze of glory....Yippee!
