ZIL-41047 is a limousine built by ZIL of Russia. Production of ZIL models ceased in 2002 due to their previous customer base turning to more modern Western vehicles.
[edit] Description
It has seven seats including the driver. When loaded it weighs 3,550 kg (7,826 lb). The top speed with two persons is listed as "not less than 190 km/h (118 mph)". It is powered by a 7.7 L (469 cubic inch) carbureted V8 of ZIL's own design giving 232 kW (315 hp) at 4,600 revs per minute. This engine drives the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission with the following ratios.
- First gear: 2.02:1
- Second gear: 1.42:1
- Third gear: 1:1
- Reverse: 1.42:1
It replaced the ZIL-4104 in 1985 and had virtually no mechanical changes compared with that model. The only major changes have been in the styling, which in some respects, notably in the rear-view mirrors, was subtly modernised compared to the styling of previous ZIL models. The front turn indicators were also modernised, with the rectangular horizontal line giving way to a more vertically-oriented, door-like shape. The front headlights were also restyled, as was the rear parcel shelf. The car is so wide that the centre console can stand parallel to the gear selector.
