ZIL-41047
car model
The ZIL-41047 is a limousine built by ZIL in Russia, although the production of models ceased in 2010 due to their customer base turning to more modern Western vehicles.
Description
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 (470 cu in) carbureted V8 engine producing 315 hp (235 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.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “ZIL-41047” as car model. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as car model. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q136197. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2010 and 1985.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
