ZIL E-167 1962

[CORRUPTEDDISC]

This is a rather strange vehicle request, seeing as GT has never offered any vehicles of this size in its lineup, but I think the E-167 would be a cool addition for a number of reasons. For one thing, it would be the first Russian car to feature in the GT series.

But also, consider its specifications: its a twin engined 7 liter V16 beast with 360 bhp and six wheel drive that weighs 7 tonnes. It may be slow, but who cares? So is the Jay Leno Tank Car and look how awesome that is!

Naah, too big. Even the GAZ 69A on the right deserves more chances to be included in GT than this.
Speaking about ZIL cars, this would be better:
1962 ZIL 112S (7.0L V8, 270 hp)

Rage Racer - I think yours is a great suggestion - I had thought about posting it a while back and will do so tomorrow if the Zil 112S hasn't already been suggested. Two Zil 112S race cars were built - Viktor Galkin coming third in the Soviet Championship in 1963 and Gennardi Zharkov winning the championship in 1965. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find out which cars came 1st and 2nd in 1963. Incidentally the car in your picture is at the Riga museum, but after restoration was painted the wrong colour - the cars were originally raced in blue with a central white stripe. Both cars still exist - one in Riga and the other in the hands of a Swedish car collector.
