The 2010 Marussia B2

 

 

Russia's expression of flamboyance

 

 

 

 

 

     Imagine that you had about 300,000 dollars, and you wanted to spend most of it on a car that is a bit more rare than the Ferrari 458 Italia, or the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG you saw at your local store. What if you wanted a car that is not Italian or German but had the flamboyance and power to match. Look no further than Marussia's answer to their slightly ugly B1; the 2012 Marussia B2.

     Like it's big brother, the B2 uses a Cosworth V6 engine, but with some of Marussia's know-how put into it. The V6 has 2.8 liters and is turbocharged. There is also a 3.5 regular option as well. Top speed is at a much better 190 mph and can get to 60 in 3.2 seconds. So in the words of Jeremy Clarkson this car goes like stink.

     The B2 uses the same Pirelli P-Zero Rosso's as the B1, and are exactly the same size. The two cars even share the same adjustable suspension developed by a German company called KW (Sorry for not including that on the B1). Both cars are also rear-wheel drive. The interior is similar to the B1 but has a more futuristic flair to it.

 

     As for price the B2 is cheaper than the B1 at $130,460 dollars. I honestly think this is a car the boys at Top Gear would love especially Jeremy for its powerrrrrr. lol. When it comes to the looks, practicality, and price I would say this car is absolutely worth it.
