KUALA LUMPUR, May 11– The ownership of an Aurus Senat limousine by His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, has been described as a special honour, reflecting the close ties and strong friendship between Malaysia and the Russian Federation.
According to a post on the King’s official Facebook page, Aurus is the official vehicle brand for the top leadership of the Russian Federation, and is frequently used by Russian President Vladimir Putin during official state events and important diplomatic ceremonies.
The model is also rarely owned outside the Russian Federation and is not widely exported to international markets.

“Aurus is renowned for its combination of modern technology and high-level security features,” read the post.
Earlier, His Majesty consented to visit the Museum of the Special Purpose Garage, which houses a collection of more than 50 unique cars and motorcycles in Moscow.
Sultan Ibrahim was received by First Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Kirill Alekseevich Lysogorsky, museum director Belikov AV, and NAMI chief executive officer Nazarov FL.
