What Is Aurus Senat, Vladimir Putin’s Official Limousine He Gifted To Kim Jong Un?

Russian President Vladimir Putin has recently gifted a luxury four-wheeler to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

It is a Russia-made limousine Aurus Senat, which is also known as Putin’s official vehicle.

Despite being internationally isolated, Russia and North Korea seem to have formed an alliance since the invasion of Ukraine, as reported by HT Auto.

North Korea is known to be helping Russia with high-power weapons and ballistic missiles for the war while it is not allowed due to international sanctions on both countries.

In September last year, Kim visited the Vostochny Cosmodrome in the Russian Far East, which also marks his first foreign trip in the last four years. That’s when the North Korean chief first got to see Putin’s personal Aurus Senat. He even enjoyed a ride while sitting in the back seat of the car.

Kim is recognised as a car enthusiast who has a huge collection of foreign vehicles in his garage. The imported Aurus Senat was delivered to Kim’s top aides earlier on February 25, according to Pyongyang’s state media.
