The Aurus Senat (Russian: Сенат) is a car developed by NAMI in Moscow, Russia.[2] The armored limousine is powered by a 4.4 litre V8 engine developed by NAMI, with a 6.6 litre V12 (634 kW) becoming available at a later date.[2] It is the Presidential state car of Russia. Development of the Senat started in 2013.[3]

The Aurus Senat is part of the Kortezh series, which will include a sedan, a minivan and an off-road vehicle.[4] The Senat was shown publicly for the first time at the Moscow International Automobile Salon in September 2018.

Cars of the Kortezh series (also known in Russian: Единая модульная платформа, ЕМП, lit.'Unified Modular Platform') were expected to be available for export to the Middle East and China in late 2018.[5] A civilian version of the Senat will be manufactured by a joint venture between NAMI and Sollers and LiAZ firms.[5] Retail prices are expected to start at 10 million rubles ($160,000).[6]

Porsche and Bosch Engineering are reported to have been involved with the development of the engine.[7]
