Project Cortege Van


If you're enjoying all these recent patent renderings representing Russian president Vladimir Putin's efforts of creating a new line of luxury vehicles, know that this luxury minibus is primed for seeing the light of day.

According to Russia's Cardesign, these patent images show that exact minivan, which could ultimately resemble something like a modern-day Skoda, while adding sliding rear doors and a massive roof rack.


The various sources state that the production-ready model will look different compared to these samples, while retaining the proportions and a few other basic elements. The Mercedes V-Class and VW Transporter should be its direct rivals.

As for what it's called, all we got is the word 'NAMI' from reports, courtesy of Auto Mail, which said that the design has been registered under this particular name.
