| Predecessor | Marussia B1 |
The Marussia B-Series was a series of sports cars built by Russian automaker Marussia Motors (pronounced ma-rus-ya). The series consists of the B1 and the B2; the cars are very similar technically, but are very different in design. The two vehicles have the same engines, layout, features, suspension, brakes, the price was more than 4,000,000 ruble (from 120,000 € to 185,000 €). They were the first Russian sports cars ever built. It's a full carbon fiber car with aluminium chassis. About 3500 units were built.
The B1 is the first car of the series, and also the first car produced by Marussia Motors. The car's structure is an aluminum semi-monocoque design. The car's engines are produced by British engineering company Cosworth. Marussia plan to only produce 2999 B1s. Engine power is 360 or 420 hp, top speed is 305 km/h (190 mph) and it accelerates from 0–100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 3.2 seconds.
The B2 is the B1's successor, first shown to the public at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. The differences between the B1 and the B2 are only cosmetic; the B2 offers a new, edgier design and a new, almost space-age interior. The design was meant to give the car a more aggressive look. Some design features include highlighting the grille and intakes in black to contrast them to the car's body colour and emphasize some of the car's geometric elements, as well as styling the car's face to the shape of the "M" in the Marussia Motors logo. Engine power is 420 hp, 313 kW, top speed 310 km/h and acceleration 0–100 km/h in 3.8 seconds. The B2 was featured in Need for Speed: Most Wanted in 2012, Need for Speed Rivals in 2013. In 2014 the car was also featured in Driveclub as a playable vehicle and at the official cover art for the PlayStation 4 exclusive.
