The ZIL-114 is a limousine from the Soviet car manufacturer ZIL introduced in 1970[1] to replace the ZIL-111 series which was gradually becoming out of date.

The engine, a ZIL-built pushrod V8, was increased in capacity from 5,980 cc (364.9 cu in) to 6,959 cc (424.7 cu in),[2] resulting in an increase of power by 30 percent (to 300 hp SAE Gross at 4400 rpm and 559 N⋅m (57.0 kg⋅m; 412 lb⋅ft) at 2750 rpm)[2] and of maximum speed from approximately 170 km/h (110 mph) to 200 km/h (120 mph).

[2] Although the rigid rear axle with leaf springs was retained, the ZIL-114 saw the replacement of drums by power-assisted disc brakes (with no fewer than three circuits[2]) on all four wheels to cope with the more powerful engine.

[2] There were more luxury appointments than found on previous ZIL models, with such features as air conditioning added to the furnishings of the ZIL-111.

The ZIL-114 was an official state car and transported only members of the Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the top leaders of the country, whereas the shorter ZIL-117 was used by secretaries of the Central Committee, as well as escort vehicles in the motorcade of heads of state, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the head of the Council of Ministers.
