Baltic engine of the Russian Empire - 11 March 2025, 11:00

A Russo-Balt car. The pride of the domestic automotive industry or, as it was also poetically called, the Baltic Engine of the Russian Empire. The logo in Art Nouveau style on the radiator and a double-headed eagle on the hood. Unthinkable at that time speed – up to 130 kilometers per hour. Participation and victories in numerous international motor races. A sensational ascent to Vesuvius! Among the owners of Russo-Balta were members of the royal family, high dignitaries, industrialists and scientists. He predicted brilliant prospects and one of the leading places among automakers. But history has done otherwise.
