Diamond Azure through the years!
Following the success of the 1959 Azure, the second generation was introduced in 1971. Like the previous model, it was designed in Europe as premium grand tourer that could hold its own against supercars and hypercars. It could do the 0-100 km/h in 7.1 seconds, hit a top speed of 254.7 km/h, and cost $46,200.
This body prevents me from seeing the design tab, so here's the missing engine info:
Engine: Diamond DOHC V8 - 5.2L
Power: 382hp @5000 RPM
Redline: 5000 RPM
Bottom End: Cast Iron 5300cc V8 Crossplane
Top End: Cast Iron DOHC-32
Compression: 11.0:1
Fuel System: Naturally Aspirated 4 Barrel
Economy: 13.60% - 0.930 lb/(hph)
Following the 1990 revival of the Diamond Automotive brand, the all new Azure hit the market in 1992. As the others before, European styling and aluminium prevailed, though the smaller engine that fit the time period did not sacrifice the expected performance. With a 0-100 km/h time of 6.2 seconds, a top speed of 275.1 km/h, and a base price of $66,500, it proved that Solo Motors Co. was determined to keep Diamond Automotive's legacy intact.
(late 90s model to come eventually)
2006 brought another generation of the Azure, again improving on its predecessor. This time, a sport variant of the company's only available engine was developed for it. 0-100 km/h in 5.2 seconds and a top speed of 301.6 km/h for the price of $91,600 all proved that the Azure was still a force to be reckoned with.
