Allow us to introduce you to the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/21/video-marussia-mashup-metes-out-the-musical-mirth/">Marussia</a> F2 - a vehicle that's one part mission control, three parts SUV and a dash of Nissan GT-R. The company that brought us the likes of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/13/video-marussia-shows-up-on-the-catwalk-in-commercials-and-in/">B2</a> supercar recently unveiled its new globe-roaming creation at telecommunications conference. Why would a carmaker decide to pull the sheets off of its latest product outside of the auto show circuit? Because in this case, the F2 is loaded with the company's new multimedia system.<br />
<br />
If our Google Translator is to be believed, the fancy new tech will allow you to connect to your handheld via Bluetooth to use Skype, remotely manage your files or catch your favorite episode of Rocky and Bullwinkle. <br />
<br />
With the F2's connectivity capabilities and sliding rear doors, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/21/video-marussia-mashup-metes-out-the-musical-mirth/">Marussia</a> is hoping that the SUV will find a home among Europe's law enforcement and safety offices. The company's announcement leaves us painfully in the dark as to what kind of engine we can expect to find under the hood. As much as we'd love to tell you that the Russian manufacturer found a way to wedge the sinister 420 horsepower Cosworth 3.5-liter V6 from the B1 in front of a similarly robust all-wheel drive system, right now we have no way of knowing.<br />
