Russian President Vladimir Putin has received the updated version of the Aurus Senat, nicknamed the ‘Russian Rolls-Royce‘, for his inauguration ceremony.
The vehicle has undergone a facelift and now features a refreshed look, clearly influenced by the British manufacturer’s cars.
The new version of the Aurus Senat features a more spaced-out front grille and pronounced side air intakes. Updates also include LED headlights in an L shape and rectangular rear lights, now connected by a chrome strip.

Inside, the luxury vehicle has been equipped with a customizable touchscreen multimedia center and a night vision system to monitor the road. Additionally, cameras have been installed all around the vehicle, including one for the driver.
The mechanical setup retains the hybrid engine with a 4.4-liter V8 combined with an electric motor, resulting in 606 hp and all-wheel drive through a nine-speed automatic transmission.
Although delivered to Putin, the Aurus Senat will only be available for mass production in 2025, at a factory in Saint Petersburg, Russia, which previously belonged to Toyota.
