The most exclusive coupe from Iurlaro, model year 1971.
A high end luxury personal Gran Turismo coupe that touches the borders of the hypercar for the era, with almost 320 horsepower from a huge V12 engine.
The production was limited to 500 units, sold out during the presentation in the Geneve motor show.
The car placed third in the GTP 71 challenge (http://automationgame.com/phpBB3/viewto ... 210#p91656)

Re: Blue Marlin Motori Auto & Žnoprešk Avtomobil

The Victoria is genuinely very well done. Congrats! The styling would be quite cutting edge in 1971 and I think it looks good.
Yes that's a huge displacement on that V12 but so it is on ISOs and Monteverdis and such - which would be your competitors. Nicely done!

In 1985 the old Z200/Zenith Mk.0 restyle need a major update and the 80's design kicked in. The early model were presented in 1985 but it start to sold in 1986.
This was the real first model of the Zenit and it was a bit wierd. The 80's were strange time for the recently born ZM group, with a good performing BMMA and a undertone Znopresk brand that went too strage for the general public.

Re: Blue Marlin Motori Auto & Žnoprešk Avtomobil

In 1967 the older Z1156 was 11 years old. The earliest running prototype of the new D class size car were running with the bodyworks of the older car since 2 years now.
At the end of the year the car was presented to the press, but the first car start to sold only at the end of the 1968.

In 1971 there was a minor restyling and two new trims were presented to the public. The first was the Z212 "Urbana": a special version with power steering and a very low fuel consumpetion 52hp 1.2 liter version of the inline 4, designed with in mind Taxi and city use.
The second was a sport, almost race like, version of the car with a maxed out version of the engine (1.3 liter) with 88 horsepower thanks to DCOE carburattors and 5 speed gearbox.

Re: Blue Marlin Motori Auto & Žnoprešk Avtomobil

In the 90's the old offroad platform where the Zanzibar and Agadez seen life needed a heavy refresh. The ladder frame and the suspension setup were kept very similar, but a lot of design faults were revised. In the 1994 after several years of tests, the final looks of the new ZM group offroad was presented only in the ZM version. The Zanzibar took a bit more time to be developed.

Featuring a 2 years old engine block used also by the Zest, Zenit, Zeta and some higher performance version of the Zap. SOHC, full aluminum, 16v and with a big pull on the low revs.

Pictured here the 2WD entry level version for the family.

Thanks, I'm really happy with the aesthetic results of them.

Oh u! Too kind :P

After the launch of the Zap! the company economical situation allowed it to breathe again. The results were good and the technology debuted on the ZAP! was downscaled to cover the supermini segment, a segment that the Znopresk didn't covered since the late 50's.

Featuring the revised version of the 1968 SOHC 2valve inline 4 family debuted on the Z100.

Pictured here the experimental "world car" trim with: basic entry level with 5 seats, most economical and cheap to make 1 liter inline 4 with eco carb, drum front and rear, manual gearbox 4 speed and no entertainment.
