Below the bumper there is a wide air intake, which can be divided in two by a horizontal insert.
From the side attracts the attention of the uniquethe design of the rear pillar, which provides additional comfort to the rear passengers in the form of increased legroom and overhead. Painted in the body color door handles add a premium look. Repeaters of turns, integrated into the front fenders, make the car more visible during the turns.
The feeling of volume and space is added high rear doors, which, moreover, provide a convenientlanding and disembarkation. The rear of the car harmoniously completes the classic look of the Opirus.

Engine
The car is equipped with 6-cylinder V-shaped engine capacity of 3.8 liters. Its power is 266 hp at 6000 rpm., and the torque reaches 36 kgm at 4500 rpm. The engine is very elastic - at the bottom it behaves as it should be a car of this class, and at high speeds it quickly accelerates the car to a maximum speed of 230 km / h, which is electronically limited. At the same time, Opirus demonstrates low fuel consumption due to the automatic electronic injection change system.
On Opirus is installed 5-speed automatic transmission, which uses an independent systemclutch control where each gear change is controlled directly by an individual hydraulic valve, which ensures smooth and smooth gear changes.
The box also has a sensor for permanentcontrol and adjustment of the transmission fluid pressure, which additionally ensures smooth and smooth switching. The box is equipped with a sport mode, which allows the driver to choose a fully automatic or sporty manual transmission control option.
Security
To date, Opirus can be called one of the safest cars on the market. To do this, he has in his arsenal a huge list of active and passive safety systems.
So, to active security are: system ESP (Electronic Stability Program) - systemconstant electronic tracking of the car, which controls such key indicators as the pressure in the braking system and the work of the engine (the brake control system consists in keeping the trajectory of the car in corners, automatically slowing down the outer or inner wheels); system BAS (Brake Assist System) - braking force control system, system Abs (Anti-lock Brake System) - antilock braking system; system TCS (Traction Control System) - the control system of coupling of forward wheels with a road covering (traction-control).
Also the system HID (High Intensity Discharge) Headlamp - systemhigh-intensity discharge lamps of head light, which, thanks to the presence of xenon, provides a bright light, without dazzling the oncoming drivers; automatic headlight range adjustment; headlight washers; park-tronic.
Passive safety should include: front, side, rear airbags and cushions - "curtains" (in total, there can be up to eight pillows), a system of pretensioners and load limiters for seat belts, active head restraints, heated exterior mirrors, active anti-glare rear-view mirror.
