The Marussia B2
is the company’s second supercar and was built as an evolution of the B1
- Russia’s first supercar. This second coming continues the same
impressive technologies of the B1, but is distinguished by a more
powerful face and a unique interior. Marussia only created 500 units of
this impressive model, with prices starting from $130,460.
The
Marussia B2 will be offered with either a 2.8 liter V6 turbo engine or a
naturally aspirated 3.5 liter V6 engine with power ranging from 300 to
420 HP. With these engines, the supercar can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in
just 3.2 seconds and continue on to a top speed nearing 190mph.
"The
B2 is an overt expression of our capabilities and ambition. Using the
same exceptionally light and strong chassis structure combined with
Marussia-Cosworth power units, the B2 allows our designers and our
customers to explore their wilder side."
UPDATE
05/08/2012: Just 500 units were planned from the start and less than 12
months after hitting the market, all 500 units have already been
ordered and in order to fill all of these orders, Marussia and Valmet
(the firm producing the B2) have decided to shift production from
Marussia’s headquarters in Moscow to Valmet in Finland, which also
produces the Fisker Karma .
With
the B2 having received such a warm reception, it’s likely that Marussia
is currently developing its successor, possibly named the ‘B3’.
