2007-2015

Marussia Motors  was a Russian sports car company founded in 2007. It was the first Russian company to produce a supercar. It designed, and manufactured prototypes of both the B1 and the B2 sport cars. Marussia was led by former motor racer Nikolai Fomenko. The Marussia B1 was launched in December 2008 in the new Manege hall in Moscow.

In 2010, it acquired a "significant stake" in the Virgin Racing Formula One team, which was later renamed Marussia F1. The team competed in F1 from 2012 to 2014.

In April 2014, the Marussia Motors company was disbanded, with staff leaving to join a government-run technical institute. The Marussia F1 team continued unaffected as a British entity, independent of the Russian car company. However, on 7 November 2014 the administrator announced that the F1 team had ceased trading.

b-series

The Marussia B-Series was a series of sports cars built by Russian automaker Marussia Motors. The series consists of the B1 and the B2; the cars are technically similar but are very different in design. The two vehicles had the same engines, layout, features, suspension, and brakes. Priced at over 4.000.000 ruble (from 120.000 € to 185.000 €), they were the first Russian supercars ever built. It featured a full carbon fiber car with aluminium chassis. About 3500 units were planned to be built.

2007-2009

The B1 was the first car of the series and the first car produced by Marussia Motors. The chassis was built on an aluminum semi-monocoque design, and the engines were produced by a British engineering company Cosworth. Marussia had planned to only produce 2999 B1s.  

The mid-engined, rear-wheel drive, 2 seater had various engine options ranging from a 3.5 liter naturally aspirated V6 to a 2.8 liter V6 twin-turbo which outputs 420 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque. The powerplant is bolted on to an aluminum frame with carbon fiber body panels, allowing the B1 to come in a little over 1100 kg. Top speed is 305 km/h and it accelerates from 0–100 km/h  in 3.2 seconds.

Inside, the carmaker installed a leather-clad interior with hand-stitching. There was not a single analog dial in the cockpit. Marussia opted for a digital instrument panel and two additional touch screens: one on the center stack and the other on the passenger side. A pair of slim, high-bolstered bucket seats provided the side support needed during high-speed cornering.

After 2014, Many Unfinished Marussia B1s Were Found In A Facility Rotting And Slowly Becoming One With Nature.

2009-2015

The Marussia B2 is the second model of the Marussia Motors, first shown to the public at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. It was built on the Marussia B1's platform in an extremely short period of time. The exterior design inspired by the Russian fighter-bomber Su-34 is based on the idea of using an aircraft cockpit with the additional front and rear fenders . That idea allowed Marussia to solve the problem of fitting panels in production. Marussia only created 500 units of this impressive model, with prices starting from $130.460. Less than 12 months after hitting the market, all 500 units have already been ordered and in order to fill all of these orders, Marussia and Valmet (the firm producing the B2) have decided to shift production from Marussia’s headquarters in Moscow to Valmet in Finland, which also produces the Fisker Karma.

The Marussia B2 was offered with either a 2.8 liter V6 turbo engine or a naturally aspirated 3.5 liter V6 engine with power ranging from 300 to 420 HP. With these engines, the supercar can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds and continue on to a top speed nearing 305 km/h.

The Marussia F2 is a full-size luxury SUV designed and made by Marussia Motors and Valmet Automotive according to Marussia, it can be used as a mobile command center, as a military vehicle or as an emergency vehicle. The concept car was shown on May 2, 2010.

The Marussia F2 model was scheduled to have 300 units made in 2012 by Valmet Automotive.

The Marussia F2 is a concept car with a 5-door SUV body styling with 4 seats. Its doors have a manner in conventional front doors and power sliding doors (used on the Bertone Genesis) as its doors are similar to the Bertone Genesis. The Marussia F2 is the first and only car in the full-size luxury SUV class to have power sliding doors.

What was supposed to be the Russian manufacturers first family oriented product came too little too late. The F2 was a full sized luxury SUV designed by Marussia Automotive and Valmet Automotive and would be competing against the likes of the Range Rover Sport of the time. According to the manufacturer the vehicle was modular enough for use as a military transport vehicle or for use in emergency services. 300 were planned to be built during its first slated production year of 2012 but yet again their financial crisis struck leaving the F2 as a rolling concept.

Marussia Motors managed their own factory works team after buying into a large stake of the Virgin Racing Formula One team. Later becoming Marussia F1, the team competed between 2012 and part-through 2014.

In its first F1 season, it placed 11th in the Constructors' Championship, improving one position to 10th the following year. Thanks to Bianchi's exploits at the 2014 Monaco Grand Prix, the team won its first and only 2 points in F1. In 2014, the team participated until the Russian Grand Prix, entering only one car driven by Max Chilton in the team's final GP, due to the events at the previous Japanese Grand Prix where the team's lead driver, Jules Bianchi, was involved in a serious accident and suffered an ultimately fatal head injury. On 7 October 2014, after a short period under administration, the team ceased its operations and folded. The team's assets were sold at auction in December 2014.

mr01

The Marussia MR01 is the first Formula One racing car designed by Marussia F1 for the 2012 Formula One season, which was driven by Timo Glock and French rookie driver Charles Pic.

The MR01 was one of only three cars (the others being the McLaren MP4-27 and the HRT F112) not to feature the stepped nose common to most 2012 season designs.

The car used a Cosworth CA2012 2400 cc  90° V8 which was limited to 18.000 RPM. It was  naturally aspirated and mid-mounted, coupled to a Marussia-housed Xtrac 7-speed transmission.

mr02

The Marussia MR02 is a Formula One racing car designed under the leadership of Marussia's Technical Director Pat Symonds. It made its competitive debut in the 2013 Formula One season where it was driven by debutant drivers Max Chilton and Jules Bianchi, who replaced Luiz Razia, the team's original choice for the seat.

As of the 2024 Formula One season, the Marussia MR02 is the last F1 car to be powered by an engine designed by Cosworth.

The MR02 was the first car built by Marussia to use the Kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) device since the system was reintroduced in 2011. The car used a KERS device designed by Williams F1, based on the design that Williams used when they were a customer of Marussia's engine supplier, Cosworth, in 2011.

The MR02 made its competitive debut at the 2013 Australian Grand Prix, driven by Jules Bianchi and Max Chilton.

mr03

The Marussia MR03 was a car designed by Marussia for the 2014 Formula One season. It was Marussia's first turbo-powered car and was fitted with a Ferrari V6 turbo engine. It was driven by Jules Bianchi until his accident at the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix, and Max Chilton until the following race in Russia. Following the Russian Grand Prix, the team entered administration and withdrew from the remaining races. It was then reused for the 2015 season, with all the changes required for use in the season, and was called the MR03B. Although the car failed to be used in Australia, due to software issues, the two drivers of Marussia for 2015, Will Stevens and Roberto Merhi, were able to use it in the rest of the season, starting from Malaysia. Merhi was replaced by Alexander Rossi for Singapore, Japan, the United States, Mexico and Brazil.

At the 2014 Monaco Grand Prix, Bianchi secured the team's highest finishing position and first World Championship points by finishing 9th in the MR03.

Drivers were: Max Chilton and Jules Bianchi.

mr03b

Following special FIA permission sought by the Manor-Marussia team in February 2015, the car was modified into the MR03B after basic modifications to meet 2015 regulations, pending a new chassis being built – that ultimately never materialised. 

 The revised car differed most notably in the nosecone area and had to weigh more, from 691 kg to 702 kg, due to new technical specifications in 2015. The MR03B continued to bear the "#JB17" logo in honour of Bianchi.

Will Stevens and Roberto Merhi were contracted to drive, but the late rescue package meant that the car arrived at the opening round of the season without any form of testing. Ultimately, they did not qualify for the race, as they had not participated in qualifying or any session during the weekend. This was due mostly in part to the team's computers being wiped clean of data in the days leading up to the auction; the oversight went completely undetected by the entire team until the days before the Grand Prix when the car was being assembled in Australia. The team was cleared of any malicious wrongdoing by the FIA after a hearing, and resolved their software issues in time for the next event.

Drivers were: Roberto Merhi, Will Stevens and Alexander Rossi.
