The ZIL-41047 is a limousine built by ZIL in Russia, however the production of ZIL models ceased in 2010 due to their previous customer base turning to more modern Western vehicles.^[1]^[2]

Description[edit]

"72 Scorpion" version for presidential guards

The ZIL has seven seats including the driver, the top speed with two people is listed as "no less than 190 km/h (118 mph)". It is powered by a 7.7 L (469 cubic inch) carbureted V8 engine producing 315 hp (232 kW) and 610 Nm (450 lb-ft) of torque, which 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.
