LEADIN :
Russia is not a country known for producing sleek, fast and expensive sports cars.
But one Russian car maker is trying to change that by producing a rival to Porsche and Ferrari.
STORYLINE :
The charcoal grey car driving down through Moscow stands out from all the other vehicles on the road, drawing stares from curious and admiring passers-by.
With its angular styling, sleek lines and alloy wheels, the Marussia B1 may resemble a Lamborghini Gallardo or Ferrari 430, but it is actually made in Russia.
A Marussia showroom opened in central Moscow on September 10 and on the same day Muscovites got to glimpse several of the supercars on the city's streets.
But Russian car experts do not share Fomenko's optimism.
