I don’t have any background on this amazing custom project, but check out this Russian Volga replica based on a Cayenne.

Here’s a ropey machine translation of the webpage text:

Auto- Volga-cayenne LEGEND In THE NEW SAW (18 PHOTOS)

By combined efforts of Moscow studio R.A.D. and Cardi is
constructed the machine, which received name "Volga -Ka1enn"
(Volga-Cayenne). It is created on the base of extra-road builder
Porsche, it is outwardly very similar on GAZ-21 "Volga" 1957 were let
out, but it has with it not one general detail. Body, including
primary structure, is prepared "from zero". The interior, which
recreates the style of the old "Volga" is also created anew, and it
preserves entire functionality Porsche Cayenne. Machine is decorated
with the canonical Communist subjects, made by aerography and mosaic
from paste Swarovski.

Hardly someone wakes he argued with the simple truth - the presence of
prestige automobile during our days is one of the principal human
virtues. Owner "six-hundredth", "khammera" either "Cayenne",
undoubtedly, the more respected person than the driver of any of
"lancer", or (o, God!) "ten". In this light the act of eccentric
Russian businessman possible was considered the monstrous flouting of
the up-to-date system of values.

Thought only - this person of obratilsya into the Moscow studio Cardi,
so that would disguise new Porsche Cayenne near the old "Volga"!
Studio soglasilos' it executed order, but, since the project of
okazalsya by very complex from a technical point of view, podklyuchilo
to the work one more Moscow firm - R.A.D. ("Russian automobile
design").

(cowling it is decorated with mosaic from paste Swarovski)

Specialists Cardi of koordinirovali work, otvechali for
finishing of salon, painting of machine, pridumyvali wheel disks. (on
I will sew given, wheels, decorated with pastes, izgotovila
"stupinskaya metallurgical company"). In general, R.A.D. exactly and
vypolnil most work, namely sproyektiroval and postroil body, interior
with the new panel of instruments, the glasss-hoist I will predict.

(wheel they are prepared to order)

(interior is also executed by the pillar of "c of zero")

(under the speedometer - indicators: oil, water, gasoline,
SUPERCHARGING)

He worked above the automobile it began from the fact that
"radovtsy" of obmerili the present "Volga" GAZ-21 on the special
equipment, after receiving the cloud of points, on which postroili its
computer model. Then tyuey prinyalis' after Cayenne.

(from Cayenne tyuey ostalis' only engine, bottom and wheel c by
suspension)

The luxurious extra-road builder it is pitiless of pokromsali
by "Bulgarian": from the automobile ostalis' only the engine, bottom
and wheels c by suspension. Received, thus, platform also of byla is
thoroughly and enumerated.

(scanning surface gas -21"Volga")

After which the specialists R.A.D. of nachali it conjured on
the computer - necessarily bylo combined with it the body of the
"Volga". Since proportions Cayenne seriously are differed from
"volgovskikh" (not zamechali?) all surfaces of byli are reconstructed
anew. The body it is strong of rastyanuli into the width, and a little
into the length and a height.

(red - platform Porsche, green - the urged under it body of the
"Volga")

By following stage stalo the design of the carrying structure
of body with the strength calculation of construction, and its
production. Major portion of the structure of vypolnili made of sheet
steel, and its soyedinili with the floor and the motor panel Porsche,
that pozvolilo it preserved the high hardness of body.

(computer model of body)

External panels - glass-plastic, accuracy of reproduction of
form it is ensured by the rigging, prepared on the 3rds and 5- TI
coordinate milling machines. For the doors, the cowling and the
baggage carrier of byli are specially designed and prepared original
loops.

(external panels they are prepared from the glass-fiber-reinforced
plastic)

Inside Volga-Cayenne is completely recreated the style of the
old "Volga", even gearshift is executed by selector on the control!
You pull lever, and the complex mechanism, devised by "radovtsami", by
means of the levers and the thrusts preobrazuyet its motion in the
displacement of the control device of automobile- donor. You reverse
attention to the indicators of the panel of the instruments: OIL,
WATER, GASOLINE... INFLATING!!! It is ingenious!

(modelling clay mock-up of interior)

Door knobs here also as in GAZ-21, but, trained it interacted
with the locks and glasss-hoist Porsche, and control of pneumatic
suspension is hidden into the elbow-rest of front sofa. Are knocked
out from the general style perhaps that the belts of safety, but that
it did - thing indeed neobkhodimaya. But here there are no pillows of
safety - nevertheless, too complex an element, which requires long
studies and tests. But in other respects entire functionality of
interior Porsche Cayenne is preserved.

(bench test)

For preparing the combination of instruments in the style THE
"GAZ-21" of byl is designed single unit from many details, inside
which it is rested the electronic board Cayenne, and the pointer of
instruments, pilot lamps and information display are recomposed and
repetitive the configuration of the instrument of the "Volga". The
computer designing of this complex element pozvolilo prepared it from
polyamide, using technology of layered laser sintering.

(computer model of the panel of instruments)

For preparing the transparent cap of speedometer, glass of the
front turn indicators and some other elements of automobile
ispol'zovalas' the technology the vacuum of molding thermoplastics on
the milled rigging.

(assembling the panel of instruments)

Finished automobile underwent tests on range BY US into
g.Dmitrove and poluchil the appreciation of test drivers.

(testing on route of range)

The creators of machine assure, that sokhraneniv the geometric
parameters of chassis and the transmission of automobile- donor
("Porsche-Cayenne"), by them daringly left his running qualities
constant, and the regulated pneumatic suspension, the electronic
systems for control and stabilization, by the eighth drum 450- strong
turbomotor completely of sokhranili its functionality and convenience.

First question is why? This must of cost a fortune to build. I like it, it looks much better than the Cayenne, but what is that paint job all about? And those wheels are vulgar, let alone Volga!
