Cars made in Russia

First Russian SUV

Nowadays SUV’s are very popular all over the world, all major car makes started production of their own all-road luxury cars. The concept behind the SUV is to get comfort of the luxury car but have four wheel drive on big rims so that you can go off the road with the same feeling.

But it seems that in Soviet Russia they had already this ideal car - you can see here a luxury Soviet “Pobeda” (”Victory”) car on the high wheels, and people say it is not a self-made thing but was in production in limited edition at the car factory, so it can be probably not only the first Russian SUV but first SUV ever.

Have $8M Car, 'WILL' Travel

When an eccentric uncle left them a dingy old garage in his will, his nieces and nephews never imagined they'd struck it rich.

But among the vehicles and junk parked in Dr. Harold Carr's garage in Britain was a mint-condition 1937 Bugatti 57S Atalante, one of the world's most valuable cars.

Said to be worth $8.6 million, the rare Bugatti (pictured) had not been driven in five decades. When Carr died last year at the age of 89, his nieces and nephews were his only surviving family.

"We just cannot believe it was there," one nephew told the Daily Mail. "No one had any idea what kind of cars he had parked in there. We knew he had some cars, but we had no idea what they were."

One of only 17 ever made, the Bugatti could reach a maximum speed of 130 mph back when most cars could barely top 50 mph.

The family plans to auction it off.
