The luxury sedan chosen was the Aurus Senat S600, its elegant and imposing design reminiscent of models from brands like Rolls-Royce and Bentley. Equipped with a hybrid system and a 4.4-liter V8 engine, the Senat S600 offers 598 horsepower and a nine-speed automatic transmission, ensuring acceleration from zero to 100 km/h in six seconds.
Developed in collaboration between Russian and foreign companies, the Aurus Senat S600 has a luxurious interior, providing generous space in the rear seats with adjustable seating, ventilation, massage functions, and an integrated bar compartment. In addition to being equipped with advanced safety features, such as seat belts that provide protection even at 45-degree angles.
Cooperation between North Korea and Russia has grown since Kim Jong Un visited Russia last September for a summit with Putin. During the visit, Putin showed Kim his own limousine, the Anrus Senat, highlighting the partnership between the two countries.
