The ZIS-115 is a Soviet built armored version of the ZIS-110, designed and built especially for Joseph Stalin. The heavily armored car weighed over 4 tons, windows (each of which weighed over 200 kg (441 lb)) were powered by a hydraulic system. Its 6.0-liter (366 cubic inches) straight-eight engine (an upgraded version of the ZIS-110 engine) generated 162 hp.
