ZIL-117

[1] Maximum power output of 300 hp SAE Gross at 4,400 rpm[5] was claimed, using a relatively high 9.0:1 compression ratio, fuel feed being via a single four-choke carburettor.

[12] Although made in limited numbers, the car has proven popular for die-cast model makers (on the contrary, the less rare 114 and the newer 41041 were not available in mass market until the 21st century).

This heavy model was available in black or grey (the colour of army parade versions) with 12 moving parts, and featured opening doors and boot (with spare wheel), opening bonnet and detailed chromed engine, chrome metal trim and grill, rubber tyres and suspension, and perspex lights.

Radon's post-Soviet successor Agat/Tantal released a white wedding version as well as the black, but quality can be poor compared to Soviet-era examples.

Another version of this model was released as part of a series featuring cars from James Bond films (in this case Casino Royale) and included a magazine.
