Car: ZIS 110
Surprisingly, the development of this machine began back in '43, when the outcome of the war was still in question. It was the 110th ZIS that became the first Soviet post-war car. As with the previous ZIS model, the 110th was created with a close eye on the American Packard. But in those years, American leaders rode in these luxury limousines. Such cars were produced from the 45th to the 58th and, interestingly, they were used in a Moscow taxi and even in an ambulance. Armored modifications received the index — 115. The first armored car went to the Leader of all Soviet peoples, but only 43 115th ZIS were produced.
With a 6000mm long body, the wheelbase was 3,760 mm. It's just a huge car, next to which the modern 222nd S-class seems like a small, insignificant car. The 110th was produced in limo and faeton type bodies. Another interesting solution lies in the louvers of the radiator grille, which had a mechanical drive and could open for better ventilation and cooling of the engine, or close so that the engine warms up faster in winter.
Armored, the 115th ZIS had a curb weight of 7,300 kg. The strength of the entire structure was determined by the powerful, X-shaped frame.
There's just an amazing lack of noise in this car. The walnut interior trim is equally impressive. And it's not just a nut, but a root! As befits a limousine, there is a glass partition between the passenger and driver compartments. The glass of the armored, 115th ZIS has a thickness of 75 mm. Additional folding seats are provided at the back, which are designed for security.
The heart of the ZIS 110 is an inline eight with a volume of 6 liters. With a power of 140 liters.s, with a gear ratio of the main pair of 4.36;1, such a machine could accelerate to 100 km in 28 seconds. Armored vehicles were slightly more powerful; - 168 liters.s. Let the increase in power was not too significant, but the shorter main pair ensured the mobility of these machines.
Already in those years, the ZIS 110 engine was equipped with hydraulic cylinder compensators. With a low compression ratio of 7.4;1, this unit easily ate domestic gasoline. This unit itself contained 8 liters of oil. No less disappointing is the fact that to ensure noiselessness and slowness, oak veneer was laid under each spring. Such efforts and attention to detail made it possible to create a car no less worthy than the Americans. Get started with Ivibet in just a few clicks.
