What is it? Invention Name: Description: As Moscow slowly but

surely becomes the world’s capital of bling, it’s only natural that a flashy Russian carmaker would appear to take advantage of the country’s taste for all things over-the-top. Enter Russo-Baltique, a revived century-old company that once made automobiles for the tsar. This car has a monster Mercedes V12 engine and twin turbos allow it to go from 0-60 in under four seconds and reach top speeds of 195 mph, while rear-hinged doors, a boat-tail rear and a design that combines futuristic and art deco elements help give the Impression its one-of-a-kind appearance. And the company’s logo? What else, but the imperial Russian double-headed eagle! Tsar Nicholas would have been proud.
