the person who generates. the world. class racing decided to create a new. industry. created eight. created by russian engineers the concept completely different. together with its external. body it is one of. the result of cooperation between. companies which has a volume of three point six leaders the maximum. hundred twenty horsepower and it weights in it. the basic price of the one hundred thousand euros.

just behind the project. in the recent presentation of the car at the sixty third. two thousand and nine. talk his car making. the head of the model projects. making cars. presidents where making an attempt to create. a car which would brought to make a presentation. so when you go from you so we

can write. in the title. i say so since you've mentioned. do you think with. that you're making at but he'll no how did they receive you. can say that i was expecting a warm welcome but it bet all my expectations it's not that i came here to shamelessly advertise my can paint. really our presentation was followed by a huge number of articles both russian and foreign the german magazine mailed it to beat. i know about it so they all circles in your own impressions how did you feel there is that they like your project i know you wanted to so was it was a. position well first of all what do you mean by a screw sensation at the level of the first three to the space in europe though of course that was not our plans but it was big news of course all of the world's

major car makers knew that we were designing a new car but nobody could predict that would bring a performance ready card to front for it's not a prototype or a plastic model car with the doors that you cannot so it was brought a performance ready car as a get inside and off you go that's what really came as a surprise excellent designers work and it's quality were praised. and the huge number of new partners so we have to tame there is the same sort of artist. mentioned the build magazine and the all school right and this is the german call magazines reactions from his appearance at the motor show. and ferrari have a word they'll try to. help you understand that. we won't win the rivalry with porsche and ferrari nationally but you can you explain. this alternative mean you we're the cookies to. you see. i will try to explain it briefly. i've come

to a car maker in who because i spent almost twenty. eighteen years of my life motor racing and eight of them abroad. i worked for four years photograph. i was a champion and the rest of time i spent with british. computer that's why i have a clearly it's sure of what a car is. as you know. if i see him on sirius formula one car making it is it's best the latest car making technology first appears there and then in a few years by its reach is the way many car manufacturers would do. it every time i. had that feeling all the daughter was secretly already being open for a short while but they're always closed but then they open for a while to the general public and then when they close again because of it i would

be a shrew yes yes that's the way it is. and when you work with a racing team with about sixty talk of engineers employees working h.p. quick month and technology you start to understand how the car world and the car business were. you also realize that our car cost tamara's today unfortunately we have a very low level of access to the results. of what i mean is that the cars that are generally available today in showrooms some will even the best of them. just fifteen or twenty percent of the technology that could be implemented. no need to ever implementing think knology is a company by huge difficulties down the example of the vase shows that we too well she would. car manufacturing concerns are too bulky to respond to the markets quickly let's take a loss of time and money to develop and launch new models in cuba. in reality the

situation is quite different today for example. many factors that produce and sell engines drive mufflers nuts and bolts and so on. day anyone can come to a spare parts shop and buy enough parts to assemble a car we wouldn't be. so this is the very principle that was days. and besides i decided to make a platform to show that would allow having changeable bodies shells. fly into space and most young men dream of building a car on their own. people consider it a total ignorance when you said you were serious about building a russian super. didn't people try to send you to psychotic trust when you said you'd make a lamborghini rivaling call. were you didn't they say you were mad when you know

nobody called me crazy when you put their money paid much attention to my idea either they told you a crazy so there was no need to react to it. well yes actually the image of them can now is that of a loonie doing things that few normal people would do in a sort of a jack of all trades doing this and that and whatnot but actually doing my idea might look silly but still need to have a certain understanding of the processes it's quite feasible in reality is that unfortunately our country now has a huge shortage of qualified personnel. who do know the car making industry very hard to find especially given the way we are building our cars. is quite an advanced method because i allowed myself to develop everything in computers because it's the usual way is to build a prototype test. which is then tried and tortured for a long time and serial production only begins after all of the walls have been. and

the prototypes are on our way with fake small box with a computer computer of course we need young people who know all that's madly complex computer software and so on but i'm no me. you said you develop your computer this. is the road surface like you know it is it smoothly has a. whole serious of misconception of you when you quite a bunch might notice that the automobile manufacturing industry targets it that the average customer we have to maybe has reached such a level and that's got any new car the chinese korean or german or we have them is equally good for the consumer. it's true the best car is a new call it by at the best car is a new car. so they are all perfectly fine for the russian road do you know a lot about our roads being bad but it's not only russia there are plenty of bad roads all around the world and i'd like to say. one more thing just to explain

a sports car means big power and if you are a full engine in the first place. that is the metal allies which have to endure quite a lot you know. say at least in the road is nothing for a horse. it's no problem for a porsche to run over pits. you have to know it's no problem for the people who ride in it you must know yourself you get a kick about your part of them that it's not very comfortable to ride in a porsche well i'd really come to know there's a specialist company in moscow that it just. makes them hire a question here right but i like to say another thing that a sports car even if you drive an ideally smooth road like in germany a car is the kind of car which requires. not very comfortable and i'm talking about all car projects by trying to make this a special on the steering system. the level of driving comfortable to say what i

was thinking of the modern drive not only in russia but also in the west i tried to make it comfortable i didn't want our customers to feel as if they paid a lot of cash for go carts and they're having a miserable time and she. is the steering wheel on the right move you have the picture wrong here in fact. the steering wheel is on the right in fact i'll tell you that it sure is near and where developing a model with a steering wheel on the rights is just enough that's naturally for anyone to use and that everything in the car i mean everything is russian made is it didn't borrow anything i don't mean the parts and components i mean the design never thing it's like you've invented your own bias your goal from scratch. i have good news for you but it's the creation process was quite painful. the point that's. that we are still getting at soul ships in the store and buying high tech very high tech manufacturing machinery because

a huge amounts of things because that's had to give up the idea of using third party suppliers because it makes it more complicated with customs and so on i guess in a nutshell this car is eighty five percent genuine made in russia and if i get it right there was no animal testing in the process none of that says. spotlight will be back shortly we will continue this less than a minute after a break so stay with us.

right. just.

welcome back to spotlight i'm just a reminder that i guess today is nikolaj for many well known russian musician actually and racer who is also the brains behind the modern sports car project. talking about. the mention something revolutionary in data that it's issues interchangeable call me in the. minds of those watch brands you know where you must look different styles to go along with your outfits. in the military as far as i know is a not for populist even among those who really like to match their clothes and it's a serious when you pause while this idea. is a kind of a gadget. explain really it's not that simple. so i wouldn't simplifies and i say that several car body. one platform yes indeed

but what it doesn't mean you buy a car which looks like a cardboard box or something and no you get a real absolutely or real complete car. with a huge range of features. carbon fiber. but i can say that when you batch of cars is made of. material. new material brain your revolutionary material is a leader in the invents to college system it's not pure carbon any more nano technology is polyurethane and it's very serious large scope i can see that there is a lot of work in this area in a way in russia and interchangeable comedy explain why and how to do it ok let's take a look here we can see the car model is it yours. of the same platform i'm sure that if you buy this model you'll be happy with it and you'll use it for a long time. and you won't come back to us saying you know take this car body off

and give me a different one and stay had merely saying that this plant for now take a look at it and so we see the difference this is how this model looks and the lacks the one you saw earlier has a completely different bloke going to the platform is one in the same consider is german a car if it's serious six seven or eight she'd always see the same car right so it is easy to see it's just the same car but in our case it's a completely different car don't quite understand the. different abilities on the car or is it that the client asks i think the plan of course. i won't be able to swap the bodies my so no you won't if i come to you'll change it for me of course we will. take some time and money. less than buying a new car. but it's affordable. you can have different styles for your costs in the morning and then they have one so that's how it sounds in the newspapers like it's a gadget. well it's not like that

a car is something more serious you know there's one more thing about this car that i'm proud of it's the cars multimedia system that nobody else has is good for video cameras sky if you go conferencing internets why maps you name it. is it all necessary it's essential i think but doesn't detract from driving. it's essential to be able to obtain information on the way for example you're on your way and you don't know where traffic jams are when you understand. most. visual systems that television and so on he has an. immediate no doubt about that of course but then the passenger can still do a lot of thing was by the way speaking of driving safety our cars not only have the welcome message but also navigation per metre as you project on the windshield. like the head up display system in russian fighter jets really are right only better. than the information on the uniform and i'm sure

he knows you're an avid racer he. says that the car is well suited. but also feel comfortable driving. very important. portions of for a specialist and they realized it was difficult to drive in moscow. to ferrari's realize they were not as good from moscow either. bentley continental because they are very comfortable that expensive and generally a good alternative to jimmy and by saying your car is good for them driving what is the market in trade for some fundamental. way are different from bent play because our car has different dimensions a different height and it's like three times faster than the bentley you don't have to get it over with teach him how much does it take to get to one hundred well it depends on the specification you order but we can develop three point two seconds two hundred one. we're not making such

a car now but we can do it. quick is the basic the entry level car will go to one hundred kilometers in four and a half seconds. yes four and a half seconds to hundred fifty however my objective was imagine a car named lamborghini which is quite difficult to sit ins and quite tricky to drive for a whole number of reasons. well sure it's almost a racing car. our car you can sit comfortably while still a sports car it's comfortable and easy to drive but when you feel like doing some traffic watch racing you will have to concentrate but if you're going to traffic jam it's me you will have no problems that old but it's lazy when you're not in the ferarri that's for sure. they get the real will drive right of course if the car is so great and generally excellent and even smile every time you mention has. been

accused of a now. well that's only for now. as for my car which actually this very car is currently undergoing testing on a test range. i also have access to two other cars as all the rest have already been sold and belong to the clients. and they are in final production should. know many cars if your bill so far seventeen seventeen so you have sold fourteen so far. we have built a total of twenty one cars seventeen is the number of car sold down payments have been received for them and their production is seventy percent complete now. there are three cars and your design room already and you can drive them well in fact there are a five ready made cars. when you two of them do not move we do not touch them. they are used as humans in exhibits while the other three are used by

the way the widespread. is on its way from france. and it's a huge it's just coming to moscow very soon even and they can be seen in moscow. being tested or they simply being driven around the city. doesn't mean that these cars and drive in the city that no one can do it is not to drive to work they are being tested. you know that's not the truth but i would drive them when i go to work with pleasure i will be driving one in the spring in the summer and in the autumn and i will give you a try as well if you like i think you will see that you can drive it to work as well here the problem may not be the driving itself but you should understand that it's a big car you see it's a big beautiful speedy car driving into work to an electronics market and meet in a may not be appropriate i mean it's going as for me i used to work clothes do not shift and finish on monday so that's fine with me grey the traffic is not had at

this time the car is very light it weighs around eight hundred kilos doesn't it. who does up are how safe is this lot of time paul phone call you know. yourself and it's a people right i mean come on people rather than racing. you should understand what is that a car is your method to be used to get a license plates only after and complicated certification process this process is very complex there is both russian and european certification seriously tested. as this. yes including crash tests but the this is a long and complicated process will have some minor things to think of course but on the whole there could be that bus and all the airbags everything has gone through all the tests right sure if you could so significant size your own to rule for today our car matches the euro five stone. your roof was this it sure has taken

into account gas emissions a cold. one hundred ninety six rams it's. produced such calls from a commercial point of view you're selling something already which is not correct yes yes yes here's what i've got to say about this as far as i'm concerned if we sell about one hundred or one hundred fifty of these cars per year it will be a great result because as far as marketing approach is concerned we are following in the footsteps of porsche produce a sports car of their very beautiful and with a different modifications in a present an s.u.v. a crossover a very large in size on the same base that not a soul. in that store of the replaceable body you don't know the cars will have different bodies and basis that we don't have a large platform almost the same size as like you seven. and it also be fast little doubt about that well you sure know about that as he would be that the porsche makes for

a high end at what they're after that's the form which we use in our production rides but there was a major mistake in the market in approach should insure a lay didn't think of anything better to say than a claim it to be the fastest s.u.v. ever nation which is similarly the fastest s.u.v. ever it's like saying the driest wasn't necessary if you have an s.u.v. that's fast. our car will be within the range of a general understanding. at least that's how i define its term goals and which of them would be i don't think the crossover should be mega fast. this should be a car that can do a lot to. present all the latest power train achievements. as well as the latest security achievements for the inside of the car. there's a huge multimedia system that's being developed by our programmers a great number of surprises. this is not a family of

a small drive oriented. you know it'll be produced in several modifications the whole family will be no dell it's comfortable in this car and excited to be in one like until we that at the back of this car will instill the multimedia systems in that especially for children gameboy is just going to go to the next box thank you very much for being with us in just a reminder that my guest in the studio today was. a well known russian rock musician actually and racer is also the ideology behind the sport. and that's if an hour from all of us here will be back tomorrow with more comments on what's going on in and outside russia until then stay and take.

two thousand left homeless if it weren't for the million people tell you put out by the close brush states of emergencies be deflated seven regions across the country join me the troll of a little eight year old. and in law school flames might searing temperatures approaching the city it's stoppard in small. runs president to do

their job with the road down the river ok paul challenging him to a t.v. debate following a military mission that plans to strike iran over its nuclear program. plus israeli arabs speak out a racist moules was discriminated against all. living in the country. a very warm welcome gee this is all seeds live from moscow and have its intensity temperatures in the worst spell for generations continues to pound parts of russia with forty lies now claimed. hundreds have been injured seven regions of the hardest hit regions are now in a state of emergency or one of them is the grace of moscow area which is where.

as in the sense of the russian the capital which has been gripped by small good in recent days we spoke to both of the. people as kristie first how severe is the fine is it's. not the moment you say forty people have been killed in these fires so far over three hundred people have been injured and mold and two thousand of already lost their homes and it's been made homeless to today's they've been put up and in hotels and being taken in by relatives wherever they can the situation at the moment is we're seeing very very thick smoke just about one hundred kilometers to the south of moscow it's very difficult to breathe here the smokes very overbearing even the sun can't shine through it that's taken on a very eerie rates hugh but the fire is still not looking like they are there under control anywhere at the moment but president medvedev has said this the russian government will be doing everything within their power in order to try and get them under control the soonest possible.
