Analyst: Comparison of vehicles of two leaders is an inferiority complex symptom

                                  

Newsweek magazine published an article comparing US President Cadillac Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin's limo of the Kortezh project.

The publication highlights that the presidents have developed "interesting relations", contrary to the traditional US foreign policy and "surprised the world." However, according to the author of the article, love for luxury limousines "unites the two leaders".

Analyzing the Russian car, Newsweek highlights the resemblance to the British luxury limousines Rolls Royce Phantom and Rolls Royce Ghost.

Newsweek details that the Kortezh has a V12 engine, more powerful than the V8 in the American limousine. In addition, Trump's car, dubbed "The Beast", is a ton and a half heavier.

"Putin's Aurus is certainly equipped with more advanced technologies in interactivity and safety, but it is unlikely to exceed the oldest and most powerful car of his American colleague," says the author of the publication.

According to Fox News, the new version of The Beast may be released later this year. The contract value is $ 15 million. The new car will outperform its predecessor by several parameters, Newsweek notes.

"Probably Russia will not be ahead for long," the author sums up.

In an interview given to the Russian service to our editors, political scientist Vladimir Olenchenko commented on the publication of the American magazine.

"Americans are characterized by a trend toward competitiveness.

For them, it is always important to compare and emphasize that the country intends to be the leader. Apparently, this is a kind of inferiority or stimulus complex, "says the expert.

He adds that the Aurus of the Kortezh project is a new, beautiful and comfortable car and therefore comparing the Cadillac and the Kortezh the Americans want to emphasize that they are able to do better.

Russian President Vladimir Putin took office on his last term on May 7. He left the Kremlin in his new car, a limousine of the Kortezh project. Russian President Dmitry Peskov's spokesman said Putin planned to continue using the car. The Kortezh project involves the creation of a series of automobiles for senior officials - limos, sedans and minivans - on a unique modular platform.
