You won't find it here Lamborghini Aventador or Ferrari SF90 β thereβs simply nowhere to drive them. But the leaders are armored Mercedes G-Class, rare Toyota Land Cruiser in limited editions and even UAZ Patriot with tuning for millions. Yes, you heard right: in Kamchatka, even a domestic SUV can cost as much as an apartment in Moscow.
