From Russia With Love: Marussia B2 Order Books Full
Reports are Marussia has 500 per-orders for its B2 supercar

The Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf is reporting that the order book for the Marussia B2 has been completely filled with 500 pre-orders for the Russian super-coupe. The Marussia B2's production will move from Moscow to Valmet in Finland in the spring of 2013, in order to boost output to meet demand. Valmet is the same manufacturer which currently builds the Fisker Karma and has previously built the Porsche Boxster under license.

The B2 is available in several configurations, all powered by a 3.5-liter V-6. Output is 300 horsepower for the base model and the top of the line B2 tops off at 420 horsepower, which should propel the B2 from 0-60 in 3.2 seconds.

The starting price of the B2 is 100,000 euros. ($130,460)

Don't say ugly, it's another kind of beauty. But I prefer the B1.

 

Yeah I'd much rather have a B1.

 

I could imagine taking the car in for service.
"my transmission isn't shifting anymore"
"your car no covered under warranty, it's been on the track"
"no it hasn't, I'm h20skier, I have hangers full of cars, I looked at it once when Jason came to take pictures, but that's it!"
"your car, yes on track, or I break your kneecaps"

 

I did like the B1 better myself as well....

 

Hello. I Peggy. Your car ees reddy.

 

I would not be caught dead in one of these contraptions

 

Haha oh my God those are two of the ugliest cars I have ever seen. Jesus.

 

So, um, where can you service one of these things?

 

The B2 is just different from other sports cars. But honestly Marussia, I thought that having two cars in the same segment it's a bit stupid, but you have made me see that if their design is radically different this strategy can make sense.

For me I will take the B1 instead the B2, it looks good in every color combination (bicolor, unicolor, black roof...). I don't think that the B1 is ugly, for me it looks very extreme and has something very important: its own style, the B1 design is something that you can't find in other car. I has personality and that's one of the keys of success.

For some reason the B1 makes me remember the Pagani Zonda from this angle:
