The Aurus Senat (Russian: Сенат) is a luxury full-size sedan by Russian automaker Aurus Motors and developed by NAMI in Moscow, Russia.[4] The armoured 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.[4] It is the Presidential state car of Russia. Development of the Senat started in 2013[5] with the car (in civilian S600 or official L700 versions) being put into production in 2021 at the Sollers JSC factory in Yelabuga.[6][7][8]

The Aurus Senat is part of the Kortezh series, which will eventually include a van and an SUV.[9] 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') [10][11] were expected to be available for export to the Middle East and China in late 2018.[12] A civilian version of the Senat will be manufactured by a joint venture between the NAMI and LiAZ firms.[12] Expected retail prices were increased in 2018 to 10 million rubles ($160k), but in 2021, still before the first deliveries, became higher than 20 millions rubles (~$300k).[13]

Porsche and Bosch Engineering are reported to have been involved with the development of the engine.[14]
