Why it matters

The ZIL-4112R was a Pullman-style executive limousine shown in 2012 as a candidate for official use. It was a single concept car built by ZIL with the Depo-ZIL company, and the source says it was not armoured.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

The ZIL-4112R is a Pullman-type limousine developed by ZIL together with Depo-ZIL under the "Monolit" project, which dates from 2004, as a candidate for a Russian state limousine to replace the Mercedes-Benz Pullman used by the president. The R in the name honours Depo-ZIL founder Sergey Rozhkov. A single prototype exists, and the cached reports disagree on when it was built: one says work was completed in 2012, another that it was built about six years before January 2012.
