Russian petrol is much better than it used to be.
Take the Alfa, the E500 will bankrupt you before you get to the border Laughing

Yes, well there is that! The speed it can get through a 90 litre tankful is impressive.

But the Alfa has a ride that knocks your teeth out on Russian roads and there are Ferraris with better ground clearance, which makes it non-ideal in Moscow. It also has no spare wheel!!!!

Although of course the Alfa's FWD and traction control you can switch off are better than the Merc's RWD and non-killable traction control when it comes to winter, and I already have snow tyres (non-studded) for the Alfa.

So, neither is ideal.
