I really enjoying visiting these car dealerships, even though I am not a car person. The car I owned back in Australia got me from A-B and I was more than happy with it. Would you like to make more videos like this, or visit other branded dealerships? Let me know in the comments.
When I am not uploading videos or answering comment, I am on Telgram, join me there: t.me/travellingwithrussell
Unbelievable. Great Video.
Russell when I hopefully finally get to Moscow I can help you with most things car related. I've been a car nut all my life.
I'm with you on Porsches Russell although I prefer those based on the original 930 Turbo.
Russell the blue Mustang was a 1969.
I'd definitely have the blue 1969 Mustang, forget the rest.
I wouldn't be surprised if this Russian luxury car dealership had the best selection of luxury cars in the entire world.
Pyramid society..
Me neither!😆
You haven’t been to places like dubai 😂
@@Oomph6006Nah, you don't get it :Pyramid society is England, tiny island, no ressources, outrages prices on the real estate. Russia it's 1/6 of the Earth land with only 150 millions peoples on it, do the math.
@@ivangoroshkov7473 Yup and only 350.000 are millionaires.. England has 3000.000. Most of Russia is living in Poverty.
By Pyramid society i mean a very few rich and powerful people that owns most of the country's values. Putin and the Oligarchs has way to much power and the people has very little or nothing to say. All criticism will be punished.
YOOO THIS IS A WONDERFUL VIDEO BROTHER
Cheers. !!! I want to go for a drive in that Rocket R now.
Brilliant video Russell. Thank you ❤
Your more than welcome.
An interesting fact is that over the past two years, sales of expensive cars in Russia have increased. The price is approximately $200,000 to $300,000, and people buy these cars simply by tapping their card
The guy working there I had a good chat with him when i first arrived. It was fascinating his insight in to car sales in a place like this. Even talking about the people who come in paying cash, with a large bag of money.
@@TravellingwithRussellwhat currency ? Thought you couldn’t use dollar
@@TravellingwithRussell I had read there was a significant pent-up demand for luxury cars. I wonder if a company like this has a buying team that operates in Europe, finds them and ships them on. I imagine everybody would turn a blind eye at bags of foreign currency, well, maybe everyone but the tax man. lol
Good, so you don't mind the sanctions then!
Perfect!
@@coderider3022I meant payment in russian rubles, but I said in dollars so that everyone would understand. $200,000 = 20,000,000₽
6:50 Ferrari Roma
7:20 (New) Bentley continental GT (the green one 9:52 is the old one)
7:29 Ferrari Purosangue (first Ferrari SUV)
7:37 Bentley Bentayga
7:40 Rolls-Royce Cullinan(white) 8:00 Rolls-Royce Phantom(black)
8:34 Mercedes Benz SL 190
10:41 with Brabus models like that Porsche and the Benz before that the number in the model name (Rocket "900" R) is how much horsepower the vehicle makes in this it makes 900HP (99% of Brabus models are not just body kits)
16:48 Ferrari 296 GTB (GTB = Gran Turismo Berlinetta/ some are call GTS = Gran Turismo Spider, this is a convertible) also this is a 3L V6 hybrid !
and this makes 819 horsepower !
21:12 these are "G wagon 4x4 squared" and a "G wagon 6x6"
Very cool video!! I live in the state of Arizona in the USA and have seen a lot of luxury cars here. The Maybach Van is a new one for me!!
I really enjoyed the car dealership video. It was nice to see the different vehicles there. I've had different Nissan vehicles for the last 10 years.
I was so happy with my Hyundai back i Australia. To me, a car is a car.
@TravellingwithRussell I do agree
Loved my Nissan Murano
Thanks Russell, it was a great video. Can’t believe how many high end cars they have. Black is definitely popular.
Russell as always Welcome to new video 😀❤
Thank you so much. ))
great video brother, nice work greetings from Sydney Aus
Russell thank you so much for this video
Please do a video of Russian made luxury car brands like the Senat
This was so much fun!! I was thinking that some of these cars are probably only driven by the driver of the owner!!
For sure, especially the Rolls Royce or even the Maybach's.
@@TravellingwithRussell Yes!!
У нас милиардеров не меньше чем у вас,Калифорнии нету где люди в кробках от холодильника живут...Skid Row
I am a real petrolhead from The Netherlands so we have lots of German beauty driving here. This is a very very exclusive car dealer, I am amazed! Nicer then the average dealer here, they got some 'rare' cars aswell. Thanks for the video.
Edit: The more I watch the more I get amazed. Only this dealer is operating with hundred million dollars. The sanctions work great I see and Im happy these cars make their way into Russia. Ill take the New Green BMW M5.
Тебе не понравится цена этой M5 в России. Эта BMW продаётся приблизительно за 26 000 000 рублей.
Wow. Incredible selection of cars, it’s like a videogame!
I am not a "car person" either - but it is fun to see what is currently available for sale in Russia. I found it interesting that BYD is available in Russia - but is banned in the US.
I really need to get to some of the Chinese dealerships, there are a lot of them here in Russia. When I was in Uzbekistan last year, there was a lot of BYD there as well.
BYD, Zeekr, Denza, Xiaomi SU, all brands are available, not all are official but any model 1 month after official sale in China sold in Russia too.
Not only in Russia in Europe you can buy BYD, Huawei and many another cars from China.
The reason all these Chinese cars are not available in civilized countries is because they wouldn’t pass inspections/regulations.
@@TravellingwithRussell Please do that Russell! Chinese cars (EVs) are already ahead of European cars in many areas. Also making big gains in Australia. It's a new world!
Lexus RX parked next to the janitor’s room 😂
I know. ))
Fun, and awesome video! This is definitely a dealership where if you need to ask the price, you can’t afford it.
Exactly. !!! and the reason i didn't keep bugging the guy working there.
👍 good one Russelk😊😊😊
No worries. Glad you liked the latest video.
@@TravellingwithRussell see u next 📹
@@TravellingwithRussell расселл снимите для сравнения китайский премиум(хотя в россии нет наверно настоящего китайского премиума) дорогие китайские авто. так как в россии все больше людей не хотят платить бешеные деньги. и покупают китайские авто которые не хуже. а не редко и лучше.европейских и американских и стоят значительно дешевле.
Nice videos very high end cars , can you please do a normal second hand car dealership if you can.
I am trying to find one that i can show more later model cars in.
Amazing dealership. Thanks
Lovely video Russel,thank you again for awesome content.
Thanks. It's a pleasure to make these kinds of videos. Knowing I can easily visit places like this and show life in Russia.
I went to university in Paris France in the year 1969. I bought a very used Citroen 2CV for ten American dollars. I drove it daily for three years. More than once we friends drove it to Nice France and back. What was special about mine was it' was a convertible . A convertible that had losts its top some years before my ownership. When I got it the top was a piece of heavy plastic rolled up on a broomstick. The other unique feature was that if you slammed the drivers door shut . The left front headlight would roll over on to the fender.
😂😂😂
That's a touching story, brother, for sure.
🤣

Looks like the G wagon is the Russian equivalent to the Getz in Australia.
В каждой стране машины могут изменять названия из за названия
The red Mercedes 190 roadster at the back next to the blue G Wagon was nice
I love red colored cars.
The 190 SL was built from 1955 to 1963. I almost bought one as my first car in the early 1970's in New York City. The price then was only $2,500! Today, a well-restored model could be worth as much as $200,000. It would be very interesting to find out how it was possible to import these western cars into Russia today. How do you service a car that has no dealer network available in Russia?
@@boblacks945 With some savvy mechanics like in Garage54 that can CNC their own engine parts out of metal. If you decide to look it up, they may seem like complete lunatics, but you have to admit there's some serious work behind it.
Finally Russell after a long wait I get to see a car dealership video made by you. I had told you long time ago I want to see a Russian car dealership video and you made one.
It's fantastic, make more awesome car dealership videos like this 😀❤
I will do, a friend of mine told me about another place with high end cars like this. So i am going to check it out soon. Don't forget to share this with a few friends.
@@TravellingwithRussell 👍👍😀😀
Someone should show this to Ursela vondercrazy..
A toddler could design a better looking vehicle than the cybertruck.
I can see, not everyone is a fan of them. I did see one of the dealerships in another video. th-cam.com/video/gyBABD0hzY4/w-d-xo.html
Yes a toddler could. But I still want one!
I didn't get a notification for your past 2 videos. YT playing games again.
In Russia it is like everywhere in the world. There are people doing the work and other people that get the money for this work.
And then there are us. working away at the whim of others.
как точно сказано
USA here ! Lots of car guys her for sure and I have raced them , restored them and love to go to car shows ! Thanks for the excellent video ! Dealership is beautiful ! Luxury cars are nice if you trade them about every 30,000 miles . They are very expensive to repair ! I like the Mustang too ! Maybe there is a club over there that has just American cars ? Do the rich people that own these live in an apartment ? If not, I would like to see where they live ! Thank, you !
99% of rich Russians will not buy American cars because they are not associated with elitism, quality and wealth, they will be German cars, partly British, maybe Lexus (Japan). in the remaining 1%, those who buy an American car will either be collectors and they will not buy a new car, but retro (vintage), and just fans of brands like Cadillac, Tesla cyber truck
Hi, Stewart!
Yes, there is a company in Moscow called "Big Boys Big Toys", which specializes exclusively in American cars, and from the golden age at once.
@@макслюлюкин nowadays the most wanted and popular cars are Zeekr and Li😂
@@Vertack Thank you and take care !
да кто ж пустит Рассела в дома богатеев?
Very nice video bro! 😊❤
I noticed none of the cars had price tickets on? In the UK they would show prices on the windscreen also there is usually a 2 year waiting list for Rolls Royce cars
No waiting list for them here. This place even has people order certain spec's of them and wait for them to arrive. In other dealerships, which are brand specific they usually have a sign board Infront of each car with the details and price. But I think for this kind of place, its just by request that they tell you the price.
Great! Thanks!
Incredible autos. 😀👍
I think so too!
i used to drive a falcon back in nsw decades ago. those were really good cars.
The Ford vs. Holden rivalry will never end in Australia I don't think.
My first car was a '66 Ford Falcon.
on 7:07 and 10:10 is a porsche 911 brabus 900 R, which is a super rare car, 25 units made.
Wow, i thought it was a limited edition, but only 25 in the world!! Thats crazy.
27:18
That red Ferrari looks great.❤
As I heard someone said once, if you can afford the car, you don't care about the price of gas. If you can afford the car and with the insurance the car makers provide, you will not care to much while driving it.
Sanction is not for Russia. It is for American companies doing business in Russia
Rubbish go do your homework
well done!
Hi Russell, in Russia they joke that the Mercedes G-Class is a russian folk car ))
You see a lot of them on the road here, and the older models are not that expensive.
Oil and Gas money, Foreign aid Scams, Weapons Dealers, Bankers - small numbers of people all getting very rich
And this is with sanctions 😂
Sheer luxury! Whilst not a car person, given the open cheque-book I would go for a Bentley. Two Cyber Trucks! In respect of which, last week I was very surprised to see one parked outside my local shops. This being in a London suburb ten miles out from the centre of London.
I am not even sure if they have a Cybertruck in Australia yet. I was very surprised to see 2 of them at this place. I was joking with the guy at the sales counter if they had any, and he said "2". when in Moscow there are 3 Tesla dealerships that I know of.
Interesting how Russians work around problems. Enjoyed thank you.
Exactly. I see it daily here in Russia. But it's not as spoken about.
world is much bigger than just europe. its 8 billion people in the world and only 500 million in europe
You forgot one important detail. There are a lot of countries in the world that support Russia. Do you know why? Because everyone understands perfectly well that if Russia joins the West (as a junior partner), then it will be very bad for the rest of the countries (in Africa, Latin America, Asia). Without a competitor, the United States will turn the world into an authoritarian utopia according to Our well. In other words, Russia is a sigma state that can support the little omegas against the gang of gopnik. Therefore, many countries help Russia (for example, there are a lot of volunteers from different countries) and the economy as well. I'll tell you more, half of European politicians (not those in power) perfectly understand Russia's role as a counterweight to the hegemon. Therefore, sanctions seem to be imposed, but they immediately turn a blind eye. Who will protect Denmark's interests today if the United States decides to take Greenland away? That's right, the Danes will run to Moscow if it smells fried.
The sh*t we had to adapt to generationally 😂 literally every other grandpa is a welder, a carpenter, a plumber, an electrician and a mechanic 😅 I am a millennial and might not be as handy, but I can weld and turn wood, but it's nothing to compare to the Soviet handy
My fam and I call Ford “Fix Or Repair Daily” 😂
The other one is "found on rubbish dumps" ))
We always said "found on road dead "🤣🤣🤣

Super video RUSSELL,nice work,thank you,QLD Brisbane Australija 🦘🦘🦘🌏😎😎😎
Love that old Mustang!
But can't afford the gas, insurance, plates, or tires & brakes!
😂
Does the yellow stripe make you go faster? 😂😂
I think so. )) Also, all the red cars as well, right?
russia: whats a sanction?
money can beat anything
Sanctions = Party time for dealers on both sides to make more money.
Russell, thank you for your time and efforts Sir. For reference Russell, there's not one Mercedes Benz dealership in the entire United States that has that many G-Wagens. Not even remotely close. That store is absolutely phenomenal.
HOLY SMOKE INDEED RUSSELL 😂😂😂
My fave is that Phantom EWB in the main hall @ 12:52 - 13:07
Exactly, i wasn't expecting to see so many high-end cars in the same place. 100% i didn't expect to see two Cyber trucks parked in the back either.
Tiny Few can afford to buy those High End cars. They are at dealer sure, very few have income to purchase.
informative video. I'm a car Guy...and I can recognise the make of any these cars. Unfortunately the models are beyond my knowledge. With the exception of the grey Brabus Porsche 900 I have seen it before on youtube at Magna Supercars in Marbella Spain. There in Spain that model Porsche the Brabus 900 was priced at one million Euros.
Right, i think a lot of the car inside were very specific models, spec-ed out to be almost 1/1 cars.
I Love ❤️ Moscow
I detest the corporate scam EVs ( Exploding Vehicles).
There not so popular here, because of the colder weather.
😂😂😂So much for sanctions .
Very interesting video thank you. I think if l was lucky enough to own any of those cars. I probably wouldn’t leave it unattended anywhere in the UK….Would be stolen or vandalised for sure…
Impressive selection
It really was. I am going to see if i can find other places like this.
There are plenty of G wagons in Russia. I don’t think I’ve seen so many G wagons like I’ve seen in Russia.
So many German Nivas in this video 😅
There was. !! I love the Niva by the way.
@@TravellingwithRussell yes, jokes aside - it's a classical and very capable design. And simple and relatively inexpensive to maintain, so it fits different scenarios, where one might need a 4x4 car.
😳so BEAUTIFUL ❤ I’ll take the G Wagon, gets me thru water and rough roads without worrying.
not porch...paw shuh
I really enjoy your videos...Moscow is fabulous.
Nike....Nik-ee. )) Thanks, glad you enjoy the videos.
The lady on the Rolls Royce is the Niké of Samothrace. Years ago in the US they said the price of a Rolls is equivalent to the price of a middle-class house.
Anyway, they're very nice expensive "toys" usually parked illegally in Moscow adjacent to luxurious boutiques.
😁
I also thought the symbol of Rolls Royce was Niké of Samothrace, however I’ve just read that it is the “Spirit of ecstasy.”
At 8:39 you are looking at EV G580 (dark blue). It can do so called “tank turn”.
Cool. Thanks. ))
You can notice it is a former Audi dealership building. You can probably have more G wagons in most major western capitals because they are shared among many dealerships. For example there is like 10 Merc dealerships in Warsaw alone. Berlin and others likewise. Costume overpriced vehicles are typical in an oligarch ruled economy.
this is just 1 dealership of around 30 in Moscow... I'm now talking just about Mercedes.
All other dealers also have a lot of G-wagens
maybe not so many as here, but regulary
5-7 they always have in their warehouse
by the way in case if you don't know
- Moscow's population is 27 million people
NOT 12-14 m as Wikipedia and
other "such sources" are telling.
@@zrx2779 Ahahahhahah there is no Merc dealership in Moscow nowadays, not a single one... who do you want to fool troll?
@@Wszystkojedno-ig5nx by the way
- google this phrase, boy :
дилер Мерседес Москва
I often wonder if BMW tests potential owner 1st to make sure they are bad drivers. If you are a bad driver they will sell you one, if not, you have to buy something else.
That was just incredible dealership
Just this line of Mercedes for sale has more than all the dealerships in Portugal.
I have a mechanic friend who has to work on BMWs occasionally and he says the new ones are an absolute pain to work on.
I am sure they are. Even my dad prefered older cars to fix on the driveaway.
There is clearly lots of Wealthy folks living in the big Cities of Russia as these Western Cars will be imported via third Nation's ( Mongolia, Azerbaijan , Kazakhstan etc) due to Sanctions . This means that there will be perhaps 2-5% import extras put on the prices however, if you can afford a Ferrari or Rolls Royce I doubt you would worry about paying a few percent more to an importer ! .......Thanks for sharing Man ! 🇷🇺😀😛🙏🏻😉
2-5%? Очень смешно.
В реальности цена автомобиля при ввозе в России возрастает на 100-200%.
@@alexdro4389 ....you need to shop around Man to get a better deal ! .....it's called " free market capitalism !"
@@abeonthehill166 В России все автомобили стоят очень дорого из-за высоких пошлин.
One thing I noticed at the beginning of this video is the business name on the building is in English ("Greats Deluxe Auto Gallery"). Is this common in Moscow? Or is it only high end shops that display their name in English? I'm a new subscriber to this channel.
It's very common to see English signage. Even in the malls. All the western brands have their English logos. Also, it gives authority to the brands and name of the company as well.
@@TravellingwithRussell Thanks, Russell! Loving your videos and starting to watch some of your older ones. Keep up the great work!
Merci pour le showroom de voitures 🙂🙂
I can name most of these and mistook the Barabus Rocket R for a Manthey at first, but there were only 25 of these Barabus Rocket Rs made and sold in Germany for € 694,960. With all the G Wagons in classic Mercedes or AMG, I'm surprised they didn't have any Barbus ones which is a company that makes/installs kits for lots of luxury and sports cars exceeding factory specs and looks. I'm from California and live in Texas now, so I've seen a lot of these on the road. Lots of German cars, which makes sense, but I'm surprised there aren't more Audis considering the weather there. My Audi S4 is great in the snow and rain, better than my 4X4 F250 was.
Beautiful high end luxury vehicles , Status symbols more than mere transportation ! Sanctions ? 😂
25:02 Lamborghini Urus Performante
25:30 Cybertrucks, they all have NACS (Tesla) charger so take it to anywhere with Tesla Charger (or maybe 240v 50hz ac works too?) There are not ROW (rest of world) models yet.
Excellent. I think the blue Mustang was 1969.
The G 580 First Edition, a highly optioned model that will be available only in the first year, will likely cost about $390,000 - but, we’re just making an educated guess
No prices shown because they are sky high and no manufacturers warranty. Why buy a new luxury performance car without manufacturer warranty?
You have the backing of the company selling them. They have there own work shops there. If your paying a million dollars plus for a car, i don't think a rear brake like going out is a worry.
@@TravellingwithRussell If you’re dropping a million dollars on a car, you shouldn’t have to hope the seller will back you up-you should have a proper manufacturer’s warranty, like literally every other high-end car buyer in the world. But hey, if you trust a ‘workshop’ in a sanctioned country over the brand that actually built the car, that’s a bold strategy. Let’s see how that works out when it needs a software update or a manufacturer recall.
Brabus do an amazing job of overhauling the cars from Germany, the interior and engine upgrades cost a fortune
Right, the cost for these models vs. the normal car's is huge.
In USA, there are 41 authorized Ferrari dealerships.
And $36 trillion of state debts. 😅
@Infopirates No problem....I don't need backdoor gangsters to buy a Ferrari...I can go to an authorized dealer and have a full factory warranty... try that in Russia
G-Wagon is the coolest SUV. But I'd get a stock Porsche 911.
900 R = 900 horse power 200 miles per hour
Zero to 60mp in 2.7 seconds
All wheel drive
Rear spoiler extended for downforce
Carbon fibre wheels and quadro-brake-calibre
Some other cosmetic features, lowering suspension
Widening front and back profile
Expect to pay additional $100.000
WOW
Exactly. !!!! My exact thoughts as I walked through this place for the first time.
Russell. Go to the AURUS car dealership if possible. Presnenskaya embankment d 10 building 2 and Avtozavodskaya str. d 23 building 5 .
I know this location, i did actually email them about a video. As its a bit of an interesting location with one 1 or 2 cars there. There is another location near Zil Metro station also.
Interesting video. I can't imagine how they get the cars into Russia with sanctions in place. All the cars are German. English, Italian Japanese and American, there are no Russian vehicles. Beautiful cars, I believe when cars like these are purchased the buyer specifies every detail, thy are not usually off the peg.
Russell here are my list of cars that I would love to drive away from this dealership.
Range Rover SV SUV
Lamborghini Urus SUV
Infiniti QX80 SUV
Mercedes Benz GLS SUV (normal version)
Bentley Bentayga SUV
Brabus Mercedes Benz G63 700 AMG 6×6
Rolls Royce Cullinan SUV
Ferrari Roma
Ferrari 296 GTB Coupe
Porsche Panamera
Audi S8
I love all the cars that are there at the dealership Russell, for me it's like a "Kid in a candy store" experience 😁😁. I have also test driven a 2022 Infiniti QX80 Proactive 4x4 SUV (old generation model) in Canada.
And anyone that is law abiding can’t afford any of those cars in Russia. 😂
27:41 Ferrari Purosangue SUV. Its price is roughly one million US dollars.
Thanks for pointing it out. I really didn't know any of the different models here.
My dream car - 1956 PORSCHE C. VVVRRROOOOOOMMM VVVRRROOOOOOMMM, but I will have to settle for a 1973 Schwinn 10 speed Bicycle. 🚴♂️
same, same but different. )))
No Holdens?
unfortunately not.
8:14 ONLY car there worth having is1950s Classic Red Mercedes 190SL
It was really amazing. I wonder how much has ever been driven in Russia.
How are they getting these cars. ?
Молча
Its the G-wagen the new Niva? So many, its crazy!
I was in shock when I saw so many as well. Lined up outside.
Obviously NOT selling if sitting there
8:26 RRover is the most intelligent one. In Msk we ussually call the owners of those "heavy luxury" cars and G-Wagons pykes=))
BTW, our AURUS feels more fundamental than Rolls Royce. Pity they don`t represent them.
When I see them on the street I get excited. Feels like Tzar is indahouse
Not me Russell. I love older cars as in hot rods or customised vehicles, the older the better.
That Mustang was very nice in this video.
I like trucks so Cbrtk would be my choice,,too bad its many years waiting list
