ZIL-4112 is a luxury car with a limousine body type built by ZIL of Russia.

History

"Limo Number One", as the vehicle has been dubbed, was especially made for the head of state and took six years to complete. The six-door ZIL-4112R has a huge 7.7 litre (470 ci) engine, calf-leather upholstery and a video screen to show passengers the road ahead even when shutters are drawn over the windows. It weighs 3.5 tonnes, has a top speed of 125 mph and covers about 18 miles per gallon of fuel.[1][2][3][4][5]

A new model called the ZIL-4112R. The letter R — the first letter of the surname of Sergey Rozhkov — founder of "Depo-ZIL", who died in 2011. He did so much for the car, so his name is mentioned in the model's name. Rozhkov and Sergey Sokolov are the founders of ZAO "Depo-Zyl"; CEO of the company is currently listed his widow Tatiana Rozhkova.[6][7]

Design and specifications

This six-door limousine is powered by a 7.7-liter fuel-injection gasoline engine connected to a 6-speed automatic transmission.[8] It outputs 400 hp (298 kW) and returns only 3.61 mpg US (4.34 mpg UK or 65 liters/100 km).[9]

Armour-plating will be added once the prototype gets final approval from the Kremlin administration.[9][10]

Features

The ZIL-4112R features a novel approach to dual-zone climate control. To prevent the two zones of air mixing with each other, an "air wall" separates the two. The front seats rear passenger compartment is automatically cleaned tank taken out of the back of the rear seat.[7]
