Moscow, the city with dozens of millionaires. In winter, the city is full of luxurious limousines and tuned SUV’s by tuners like TopCar or Mansory. The introduction of Autogespot with TopCar started last year during an an amazing week. Between 10 and 16 December we visited Moscow again. This time to conquer cold temperatures of the Russian winter but especially to enjoy the beautiful city, its history and its cars. Our first of a series of reports starts with a report of the TopLine exhibition. A place where the rich elite meets to spoil themselves.
This exhibition in named TopLine, where this stands for the best of the best. Last year, several big names were represented at this exhibition. Ranging from electric bikes from PG Bikes, with a price of 70.000 Euros to Persian carpets with the price of a house.
This year isn’t very different when the exhibition is opened on Thursday. This year, there are a lot of car manufacturers and tuners present, including Lamborghini, Porsche and Rolls-Royce. TopCar and König Motor Club represent the car companies. The Russian tuner TopCar is present with their world premiere of the Inferno, a tuned Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG and they also have a Vantage GTR2 on the stand, this car is based on the Porsche Cayenne. The Vantage GTR2 doesn’t need any introduction because we introduced this car last year. More information about the Inferno can be found in one of the following reports, completely focused on this car. König Motor Club is present with a lot of cars, including three Mansory’s and an Invader. The Invader is a completely over the top SUV. There’s a big diversity of cars, you can also find a Mercedes-Benz AMG Kleemann and a classic Jaguar on the exhibition. In this period of the year the comfortable and luxurious cars are very popular in Moscow because the supercars, like the Lamborghini on this show, prefer to stay inside with temperatures of -20 degrees Celsius.
But you can not only find cars at the Crocus City Hall, they also have completely different products at the TopLine exhibition. ShuDoll offers special handmade stuffed animals and toys for children. But adults choose for other toys like helicopters or a beautiful snooker table. Most of the Autogespot visitors will probably also like these toys. Another big trend in Russia are golf carts. In 2011, we were told that this sport is becoming more popular in Russia but a lot of golf carts are used for other purposes, upgrading your golf cart to be as luxurious as possible. This can be done with a sound installation, a refurbished interior and even engine tuning. You can read more about this crazy hobby in a following report. Women will be very happy with this exhibition. The exhibition offers luxurious jewelry from Kota Osta, beautiful fur coats and horses. The interior design of a house can’t be missing on an exhibition like this one. Beautiful Persian carpets and furniture in all kinds of styles can be found here. In short, this is an exhibition where both men and women can find all kinds of things they like.
The report about this exhibition is only an introduction of a series of reports which you can expect in the next few weeks. We went out with the TopCar Inferno, had a night fun with two other models in the VDNKH park. We now also know how a tuned car is being made but that’s not all. Autogespot visited the unique supercar dealership König Motor Club, had a good talk with a passionate car fanatic. To end our Moscow adventure we will eventually come up with an extensive report about the whole trip, just like last year.
