It is powered by a 7.7 L (469 cubic inch) carburetedV8 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-speedautomatic transmission with the following ratios:* First gear: 2.02:1
* Second gear: 1.42:1
* Third gear: 1:1
* Reverse: 1.42:1It replaced the
ZIL-41045 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 drastically 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. Inside, the most notable change was the replacement of ZIL's venerable pushbutton automatic transmission by a gear selector on the floor. The car is so wide that the centre console can stand "parallel" to the gear selector [http://www.autowp.ru/pictures/zil/4104/autowp.ru_zil_41047_3.jpg] .The ZIL-41041 is a similar model with a much shorter
wheelbase . It is essentially a five-seater saloon and does not have the extrawindow behind the rear doors.Although the ZIL models officially continue in production, their only customers have turned to more modern models of limousine in recent years.
