Bedeutung
A vehicle with high speed.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The love for fast driving is a national stereotype often embraced by Russians. It's linked to the vastness of the country and a historical desire for freedom. In Moscow, a fast car is a major status symbol. High-end sports cars are common on central streets like Tverskaya. During the Soviet era, cars were a luxury. A 'fast' car like the Volga was reserved for high-ranking officials. Street racing (стритрейсинг) is a subculture in many Russian cities, where 'быстрые машины' are modified for speed.
