The blow came unexpectedly. Russia is openly revealing its automotive industrial ambitions… and it’s hopeless!
The style of this Avtotor is so embarrassing that it’s still hard to believe the accuracy of the information. Yet, its widespread dissemination on social networks means it cannot be ignored. The Moscow Polytechnic University unveiled on December 18 the prototype of the Russian electric car Amber, nicknamed the “Tesla killer”.
Its development was reportedly commissioned by the Avtotor factory in Kaliningrad, known for producing certain models of BMW, Ford, KIA, and Hyundai until Western sanctions halted its activities, forcing it to seek new markets.
It seems that the prestigious factory will now have to settle for this “monster”.
While the introduction of this electric car horrified many Russian citizens, most users saw it as an opportunity to mock the Russian automotive industry, which has been suffering for a long time. Amber stands out not only for its design but also because Russian authorities claim that its engine, inverter, control boards, and batteries will be of Russian origin.
There is no need to debate the quality and potential of this product, which is expected to hit the roads in 2025, even though most of its components, as is often the case in Russia, will, of course… be Chinese!
