“This [new] technology will allow us to stand in line with the world’s electric car manufacturers, like Tesla, and compete with them,” the company <a href="https://sputniknews.com/science/201808231067414884-russia-kalashnikov-supercar/">told Sputnik News</a>.<br />
“We were inspired by the experience of world market leaders when creating our concept.”<br />
Kalashnikov seeking to expanded beyond firearms, recently launched a clothing line and a host of accessories, like umbrellas and smartphone covers.<br />
Earlier this week, the company was mocked after unveiling its new manned robot called “Igorek”, or “little Igor.” One person <a href="https://twitter.com/Durevestnik/status/1031689490111385601">posted a photo</a> of a man on all fours to make fun of the clunky creation.</p>
